Re: my oahu trip
Wow, that alpina carolinensis is awesome! I need to find a place to grow that! You sure that's what it's called? I can't find any info on google about it.

Re: my oahu trip
Thanks for posting those pictures Gadget!!! They were great!!! Coming home is a shock, from a trip like that. I live in Florida, and my wife and I still have to adjust each time.

Re: my oahu trip
Excellent pics Gadget. Thanks for sharing. What is that plant with birght pink flowers coming out & leaves looking like a nanna?
If it makes you feel better, take a look at my temps compared to yours LOL. I think I'd really be in state of shock! Hey, my sis lives about 20 miles from you in Queen Creek!
