Nu'alolo Kai

This was the field trip we took to the west coast of Kauai. It's only accessible by boat, and we had to swim to shore. There is an archaeological site (temples, burials, etc) on this side of the island.

Sweet Home Long Island

The Lantana is doing quite well.

The roses are blooming again. Yay.

This is the new orange hibiscus plant.

There's the good old red one that blooms every day without fail. Thank god for Miracle Grow.

The Tubular Bells keep on blooming.

The caladiums that I planted and thought had died are blooming in all the pots where I had planted other things because I thought the Caladiums were dead.

This passion flower looks like it's sticking its tongue out at you, doesn't it?

Find out if the fruit is edible on these. The plant is just loaded with little yellow fruits.

Begonia Escargot.

Finally!

Look what bloomed for the third time!

Friday -Monday

I still miss the flowers at home! Prince looks great. Can't wait to eat the peppers!
