KarinaBoese.......This one is for you!!
My middle son, Evan, lives just outside of Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
He has been doing an incredible job creating the landscaping on the acre surrounding the house.
I enjoyed much time wandering around his entire outside areas, of course-with my camera, in awe of what he has planted,
and what grows in their climate. Each morning I would go outside, with my coffee, and go on 'snail patrol'!!
And I should have been carrying a gun....these suckers are BIG!!
Totally different shell than those I'm used to seeing, and they are as big as my hand!
I'll upload a shot of one of the snails tomorrow...it's time for some sleep now!!
Several times, I thought of you and your gardens, knowing how much you would love his many gorgeous types of flowers,
planter areas and ponds!
I have started a gallery that will consist of only photos from his yard! However, I have only gotten a few of the many photos
uploaded; as I mentioned to you, I had many to choose from!
This bud will be a Ginger blossom; at this stage it was larger than my spread hand. I have included a shot of one of the
open blossoms in his gallery!
Evan's Tropical Paradise
Enjoy!!
I hope to be adding to his gallery on a daily basis, until I get them all included!!
So...drop on into the gallery occasionally, to see more of what I'm sure many of us wish we also could enjoy growing in our landscapes!!
