What beautiful gardens! The avocado trees and heleconia remind me of home. There were a lot of avocado groves in Vista, and a nursery there grew a lot of bird of paradise, which look a lot like heleconia. Thanks for sharing your pictures!
Oh, you make me homesick. I want some ginger. I want some heliconia. I want .... oh, well. As they say, bloom where you are planted. Instead, you will be jealous when I harvest tomatos next week!
It starts innocently enoguh, looking at pictures of the garden.
Then I start thinking that I haven't had a real vacation this year.
Then I start thinking that if I'm going to tak a vacation, I might as well go all out.
The next thing I know, I'm plunking down for plane tickets to
Hawaii!
Really gorgeous! I'm just getting into gardening - haven't really done any before - because we just bought our first ever house earlier this year and the yards are pretty much a blank slate. So, your gardens are a huge inspiration!
How much work is it to keep it looking so beautiful and maintained.
Also, what is that plant in photo #4 (labeled "red-ti")?
