Yellow Plumerias

I've been gone for 3 days and have not had time to catch up since..so today I'm just sharing a close-up pic of the plumerias I use in many of my jewelry pictures. I have a tree in the middle of my front yard and we just planted one in the backyard in a pot. With Plumeria trees you can just cut off a stalk of it and stick it in the dirt!

Tropical Garden Flowers

These are flowers I captured along my walk from our hotel room to the pool area.

Red Ginger I learned something new...I thought these were called Torch Ginger..to me it looks like a torch of fire..esp in this picture..the way the sun shines on the top of the flower lighting it up. However when I looked up Torch Ginger in Wiki...I found torch ginger looks like this



Heliconia



Bird of Paradise



This was a really cool bromeliad...it had growing in the middle what looked like soft grass with a couple of tiny little pink flowers on top.



I believe this is Shell Ginger



can you find the star fruit? on one of the walk ways fruit trees line the path. Different citrus fruits as well as star fruit, cherry guava and these little red tomato looking things (on a tree) that aren't very good. I forget what they are called.
