15 Comments on Tropical Flowers from Maui Hawaii - Have a Nice Day
That is amazing! I just called my wife to look at this post (she says "another one") and when she did, she made me scroll up and down the page several times.
Your friend in Charlottesville
oh my gawd!! How exquisitely breath-taking these shots are of the protea pincushions - and lobster claw! I've never seen ginger flower before - is this like the plant we get ginger root from?
You have your own papaya tree???!! How awesome - I just got in from a walk on which I picked up and carried home in hand - a Caribbean papaya. I've seen them in Cuba. Are yours the large ones? They look so beautiful!
Lovely post!
Frank - I love the smell of the white or yellow gingers - but they are actually a "weed" in some areas in Hawaii....they grow so easily. How nice to walk around on rose petals!
Brian - My pleasure!
Charles - Well I'm glad to make both you AND your wife happy today.
Randy - I think their real name is Banksia - you were up late!? That papaya might be more like your lunch when you get up. haha
Gary - I have that top one on my desktop wallpaper
Trey - It's wonderful and varied, and year round.
Deborah - Glad you liked the pictures. Yes, the pink ginger is related to edible ginger. they have the same kind of root and leave structures, but these are much larger. We have some edible ginger growing in a flower pot. These papayas are about the size of a acorn squash. Papayas come in all sizes and shapes, but the marketable ones are usually the single serving ones we are all familiar with. I have seen "family size" ones that weigh about 10 pounds though.... but imagine trying to eat all that?
Hi Georgina - this is such a gorgeous post that I included it in this week's Week in Review! I also 'borrowed' one of your pictures for that post, too. I hope that was okay.......I won't use it for anything other than that post.

The papayas I get here are from Belize - around 2.5 lbs each - a nice size and very yummy. I know those really huge ones likely wouldn't ship and keep well.
I think I may try growing ginger in a pot - always wanted to try that.
Ann - thanks for the inclusions in your review!
Deborah - Those are pretty big ones!
Diane - Wake up and smell the computer!
BJ - They are so easy to grow, aren't they
