The other day I did a YouTube workout–p.e. with Joe. Three days later my muscles are still aching so this morning I decided to go for a walk instead. I planned my route which is just about two and a half miles. I didn’t want to go any farther because for some reason I gave my good jogging shoes to the recycle center. I’m now having to wear my just walking around the mall sneakers. It is a beautiful spring day. The sun has just appeared so it’s still cool and it hasn’t rained yet this morning so I’m in luck. Talking about luck, when I walk I generally take my phone with me for assurance and I carry a face mask in case I meet someone on the road. So, as I walked I took the time to “smell the roses” and took lots of photos of my adventure.
So far…Lilikoi blossom, an unexpected pineapple, hybiscus – melemele & ‘ula’ula
Jade plant, Bougainvillea and Tahitian Tiare
More Bougainvillea, something I don’t know, I think a Century Plant
Okay, I don’t know what any of these are, but they were interesting. The first is growing on the trunk of a coconut tree, the second is a weed that grows everywhere, but it has really sweet purple flowers. The third is a tree that has a perfect ball for a fruit.
These are trees…the beloved ‘Ohi’a, a fan palm and a different palm.
There were many more but I think this is enough for now. The last three are from my yard, my Monstera, a Paclan, which is in the Magnolia family with fragrant small tiare looking blossoms that bloom every couple of months. The last is my Fern Tree and my tiny home behind. I’ve recently acquired a Pua Melia or Plumeria and it is just now getting leaves. Soon it will have heavenly scent blooms which are still my very favorite flower.
Thanks for going on the walk with me. I glad I had some virtual company.
I’ve been a flower child since first stepping on the island 58 years ago. The airport was surrounded by plumeria trees and the fragrance was almost overwhelming. Then eight months later sailing in we could smell the plumeria in the air before we could actually see the island. To this day it is still my favorite flower. I almost always have flowers in my hair even though it’s so short and a challenge. You noticed that I also have trees in my montage!
