A few pots of tropical plants at my sunny window in fall. One pot is with a blooming salmon pink hibiscus and orange impatiens. Next to it is a pot of blooming pink anthuriums . The small shorter pot is planted with mums n red sedum and some green houseplant.

Aloha Friday at my Window in fall 2 yrs ago. Hibiscus and anthurium did well then but not blooming now.

Ink drawing of Hapu’u Fern for Inktober Laulima style I drew Hapu'u Ferns for Inktober day 8. Using Laulima Hawaii's prompt list. I only drew the leaves here in this piece, so you can't really tell what a large fern Hapu'u is. These fern trees can grow up to 30 ft tall! From my memory, they are also very hairy plants. The fronds are covered in what looks like orangutan fur.

My maile vine is climbing up my soursop tree! 🌱 Maile is one of my favorites—used for lei in graduations, weddings, and celebrations here in Hawaiʻi. I look forward to sharing my leis 🌺
What plants are you growing for future special moments?

🌿 Mamaki Growing-Up! 🌿

From a little keiki in mid-March to a thriving beauty today — check out the transformation of my mamaki tree!

I’ve been so impressed with how quickly it’s taken off. It's grown a ton in just over 2 months!

Kou.
The kou tree (Cordia subcordata) is a Hawaiian canoe plant 🌺 brought by early Polynesians 🌊. Its orange flowers and light wood made it perfect for bowls, ʻumeke, and lei for aliʻi 👑.
Photographed here along the trail at our partner #Kaloko-#Honokōhau NHP.
