Wow!! Those are exotic treasures from Hawaii, Thank you for posting them. The pic. after the flowers: is that a tree-trunk? The Buddha statue is a rare sight in our mainland .. glad to see it. I really enjoy those rare flowers you post. I once watched a documentary of the endangered species of flowers, and most of them are in Hawaii. It would be sad if the earth is reduced to a few perennials, and Knock-out roses .. and McDonalds !!

Thanks for sharing msdorkgirl(11)! Unique pics to me!

I don't know why I can't edit, but meh .. here are the pictures right side up.

corpse flower (blooms 3-5 years, supposed to be stinky .. this is it half closed

Yep, tree trunk, and by the sign, it's supposed to be part of the hibiscus family

Those are amazing plants ... like from another planet. What's that long-red-pillar, and the long-green--sheaths next to the red-pillar? The corpse-plant is awesome, I never had seen such plants in my life. Thank you, Msgirl, for posting those pics. in this forum .. it's travel-free pleasure to see your Hawaii. My sister took my parents on a cruise to Hawaii one time, and that was the highlight of my parents' old-age. My sister said bananas there are more expensive than the mainland. Here we get bananas for 25 cents per lb. at Aldi. Last month I got a 5 gallon bucket filled with ripe bananas from grocery store for $1. I fed the peels to my roses, and hubby got stuck with banana-muffins unto eternity.

Never seen anything like those! Awesome!
