FLOWERS IN FEBRUARY
Somewhere on Planet Earth flowers are always blooming. Here in the Northern Rockies we will have to wait for our turn, coming soon. Meanwhile, we are happy to have a look at the windward side of the Big Island of Hawaii--a paradise of gardens and landscapes to satisfy every taste. Many plants serve double duty as producers of edibles as well as a feast for the eye.
The Big Island has many square miles of black volcanic flow, which is a dramatic contrast with the blue green ocean and hot colored tropical flowers.
Posted today are a few of them for your winter enjoyment.
