I mowed the lawn today, Oh Boy...
Some of these plants are deliberate:
| Mint. We've almost killed this a couple of times, but we've got it really going this time. |
| Avocado. This is our second attempt to grow one; the first one is buried under tall grass somewhere in the backyard. This time we're going to stick with pots for a while. |
| Max brought this pumpkin seed from school last week, and just about overnight, it sprouted. Not sure what we're going to do with it, long term.... |
Some of them were planted a long time ago by other folks.
| Ohia lehua, official flower of the island. If you look close, you can see the bees, I think. |
| Helleconia, a particularly bold specimen. |
| This is a Bird of Paradise at the airport. I was waiting for the garage guy to come get me, so I could get the car back, and I had the camera.... |
And if anyone planted these, they didn't tell me. They're weeds, basically, no matter how
cute they are.
| I just noticed the clover today, actually. Love the little flower. Couldn't find a four-leafed version. |
| This very small flower grows on a kind of high grass. |
| This grows on a vine, very aggressive low spreader. |
| These grow on top of our shed. The trees ove the shed have dropped so many leaves, which rotted into soil, which feeds these plants.... |
