Hibiscus

December 10

New Zealand has wonderful lupins and Hawaii has wonderful Hibiscus – the state flower.  We had seen them from the bus in backyards, along the highway and in the parks so I was really pleased when we ventured out to the Dole Plantation and found them in the little botanical garden.  There were red, yellow, orange, pink, purple, white and variations of all of them.   I managed to photograph a few of them!

 

 

Our guide through the botanic garden wove a little bracelet for me using a long leaf from one of the trees.  (We had been talking about wheat weaving.)
