Exotic Garden, Cattle Egrets - And A Fresh Rockfall (01 FEB 2009)

On this day, we headed East to enjoy lunch with Brigid Mulloy and her va'a friends (aka canoe friends). We had been invited to paddle the va'a also, but the sinus pressure and runny noses from the 'wicked virus' was still on-again-off-again, so we opted for proper sleep followed by lunch with Brigid and friends. All great people!
Too busy chatting to take any photos, so...there aren't any...

After lunch we headed over to meet a potential future guide and his exotic garden. He delivered on all accounts and any future clients heading to Hawaii under Camilla's guidance will likely cross paths with this great Hawaiian guy. First some photos, then two videos below (fascinating array of da exotic growing kine)...

Here he shows us a domesticated guava (fewer seeds,more pulp, and tastes great even if you aren't hungry).


A harmless (but fast as lightening) cane spider:


And some gorgeous gingers:




And now the video walk-through. An amazing array of growing things:





On the way back, we encountered these two guys:



And then this Fresh Rockfall in the midst of Paradise:



Sunset post to follow.
A hui hou!

    Very much enjoyed your walk through all those Alpinia’s and other exotics. Unfortunately I have to garden on the chilly east coast of England though I get away to the tropics during the winter months.
    Keep up the good work
