Some of those blooms are hard to believe!

I noticed that the 2nd and 3rd were taken in Hanalei, on Kauai
I was just there in April, but it rained alot :(

There are beautiful orchids and palms of many different varieties growing in peoples yards. I was ablt to get a private tour at the Na Aina Botanical Garden outside of Princeville, but it was raining there too. It was a private garden at one time, now open for tours
Thanks for the cool pics.
