Last month (yes, I know I'm a slacker and take forever to post my photos nowadays... ;) Tim, Elyse and I went to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens and wow was it gorgeous! There were so many beautiful plants and flowers I've never seen before. There were like a million (no exaggeration at all there...) different types of ginger, and an entire area dedicated to just orchids.
Next time you're on the big island, I definitely recommend it. These are not your traditional gardens where everything is plotted into it's own perfect little squares and neatly labeled. You walk through a magical tropical forest and could easily spend hours in here making your way through all the winding paths lined with flowers and plants and eventually find yourself down by the ocean with a breathtaking view of the cliffs. Bring mosquito repellent, though... they didn't bother me, but poor Elyse had the bloodletting of a lifetime. I'm surprised she had any left at all by the end of the day!
