Here's an additional botanical assortment for those of you who appreciate flowers. These are a bit different from what you see in most gardens with the exception of the orchids. In Hawaii, they were often seen growing on the sides of trees.
I photographed many more flowers but chose to show some of the more interesting ones here.

I'm envious. I love their fragrance but can't enjoy them unless I go to Hawaii. My daughter in San Diego has a plant, but I doubt it's ever bloomed. The last time I saw it, I think it only had about 6 leaves.
Thanks for taking a look and commenting Bob.
