Found it. Thanks!
Fortunately I'm really good at finding things :)
I didn't actually know that St. Vincent covered it. I need to go check that out.
A low-angle view of a lush, green plumeria tree filled with clusters of vibrant pink, red, and white blossoms set against a muted, overcast sky. (Photo taken in September 2014. In Honolulu on Oahu, Hawaii.)
I love hibiscus flowers, they're great. But to celebrate Earth Day even more here's some evidence that I also like (to look at / take pictures of) other types of flowers and/or trees.
A white hibiscus waimeae flower with a prominent, vibrant red stamen blooms among lush green leaves in the Waimea Valley botanical garden. (Photo taken in January 2014, on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii.)
And a happy Earth Day to you too.
