Aloha from Kauai!
Just letting you know that I am alive and well and have already begun my assault on the local gardens. Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian islands and has the wettest spot in the world (more than 400" a year). "Jurassic Park", as well as many other blockbusters, was filmed here.
Besides the absolutely lush tropical greenery that was normal to expect, so far I am impressed with two things here:
-how many wild chickens are all over the island, crossing the roads, proudly walking baby chicks and digging for worms anywhere in towns;
-how clean the island's roads and towns are( I'm wondering if the two facts are connected). More observations to follow.
I miss you my virtual friends and wish you happy gardening and blogging.
I'll contact those of you who showed an interest in my foxglove seeds upon my arrival home. There are more seeds available so don't hesitate to leave a comment on the previous post.
Aloha!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time in the tropical paradise!

ReplyDeleteTatyana have a great time! I've always wanted to visit the black sand beaches of Punaluu. I've seen pictures and they look so pretty.--Randy
ReplyDeleteWondered where you have been. What a lush garden. Looks like Eden would have looked like!
ReplyDeleteTatyana, beautiful photo!! No doubt you are having a splendid time. See you when you get back.
ReplyDelete400" a year?! That is amazing. Beautiful picture of those orchids.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am green with envy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time and we will enjoy some pictures on your return.
Hi Tatyana,

Happy holidays dear Tatyana; The postcard is beautiful. I am sure your camera won't get a rest!
ReplyDeletePretty! Not been to Kaui (been to Oahu and the Big Island), but I understand that it is the garden island.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your reports.

Aloha! We will be in Kauai in just a week and a half for our belated honeymoon and I will absolutely be hitting as many gardens as possible as well. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteAloha back at you! Have even more fun then you are already having! gail
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I lived 3 years in Hawaii as a young'un but remember it well. Hope you attend a luau and get to do the hula....fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Tatyana~~ I too lived in Hawaii as a young'un. It's much better [and safer] to visit. I hope your vacation is fabulous. Don't forget the sunscreen. :) Or the camera.
ReplyDeleteEnvy - big time! Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteКакая же ты молодец, Таня!
ReplyDeleteОбнимаю!
Wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more pictures!
ReplyDeleteNo waaaaay! Hawaii?! How fabulous! What a great time of year to go. I can't wait to "see" and "hear" the update when you return. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteGREAT photo!
ReplyDeleteКак интересно: жизнь все время водит нас рядом, но на некоторой дистанции. Не удалось составить супругу компанию в поездке на Конгресс в Корею. Работа помешала. Прислал электронку: не грусти, родная, следующий Конгресс будет в Гоноллулу. Ты меня на год опередила!
ReplyDeleteА сегодня у нас праздник - сыну исполнилось 25! Здесь я тебя чуть-чуть опередила.
На чем, наконец, встретимся?!
Nice postcard! I love that pic of the doggy smelling and admiring the flower by the way...
ReplyDeleteI KNOW you are having an amazing time. You can actually watch the gardens grow in Hawaii. When I was there I felt like I should bring my houseplants next time and liberate them into the forests again! Oh Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your blog. Love the picture of the dog smelling the flower! My family enjoyed Kauai two summers ago. It is funny to see all the wild chickens. Your pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that you're having a great time!
ReplyDeleteWe have reservations for Kauai in December!
