Steph and I are probably more into plants than most, so we were super excited to visit the Botanical Gardens. They had some of the most unique flowers I’ve ever seen, and it was incredible to see my tropical plants thriving in their natural environment. What’s so fascinating about the Big Island is how drastically the landscape changes from one side to the other. On the Kona side, it’s almost desert-like, dry and arid, while just across the island on the Hilo side, it’s lush and rainforest-like. It’s like two completely different worlds on the same island!
These orchids were growing on the trunks of trees in the moss.
I have this plant at home and it is a picky, picky plant. I guess it would like to live in Hawaii instead of Nebraska. I can't blame it!
Another delicious supper that night. Robb found a beer from a local brewery that he really liked.
Fruity drinks for the girls. I do mean fruit. Every drink we got while we were there came garnished with fresh fruit.
