Today Pam Fraser of Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, Canada, is taking us on a little tropical vacation.
A few days ago you asked readers to send some tropical pictures for us to enjoy on these wintry mornings. These are some from a November 2017 trip to Maui, Hawaii. They were taken at the Garden of Eden, a large garden attraction on the road to Hana and well worth the stop. This garden has plants from many tropical areas of the world.
Happy spring dreaming to my fellow gardeners!
Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) provides lots of colorful foliage, with beautiful palms behind.
Anthurium, a perennial for shade in the tropics, is commonly grown in colder climes as a houseplant.

OMG your sunset photo was intensely beautiful!
The big bamboo plant photo must be a type of clumping bamboo, as it sure is very contained, the stalks in a group seem almost trunk like!
Great photos to see on this snowy cold day!
Thanks for sharing!
Loved all your wonderful photos. The bark of the rainbow tree is fascinating and oh, that sunset!
Loved the pics! So nice to see the warm, vibrant colors when we have none. And, I, too just love that rainbow eucalyptus tree - just so unusual! I can almost feel the warmth coming from Hawaii on this very challenging cold day in WNC.
So Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
