Looks like paradise for sure. I love the Hibiscus. Can I move in for the winter?

The only time I've been to Hawaii was in October and the weather was gorgeous.

Looks like a tropical paradise to me.

Joyce, I was looking at one of those magazines that have property for sale today. Unbelieveable how expensive the property was! All were on the Big Island, where property used to be "reasonable"... not anymore! Million + homes on leasehold land... And the houses weren't anything special either.
My suggestion would be that you guys come use my spare bedroom, and you can make good use of my shade house! Only you'll have to share the bedroom with Louis or Craig or Sean or Mike when they come over!
Hey, Lawanna, the hibiscus isn't really a hibiscus. Joyce will know the real name. I think it's a "Confederate Rose".
Maryvonne - come on over! Better get here before Joyce does!
Thanks all -
Tammie

I love that all red passion flower vine. Is it one that you can get fruit off as well?

So, as someone once suggested here..."how about a pond party in Hawaii?
I may be the only guy in the world who didn't make money on Hawaiian real estate.
of course the IRS differs.

Mike, Joyce et al how about a trip!

We can see the humuhumnukunukuapoahhas too.

We'll be watching them from the lanai of our "little grass shack", right Jerry?

Krista and I discussed planning a Pond Partay in Hawaii. I said we could rent a condo/house and be all together for some things and do our own some times too. DH actually was agreeable.

Tammie, I remember when you built that waterfall. It sure has matured. It looks old, and nestled in. Love it!

louis · « **Reply #18 on:** October 09, 2006, 05:36:13 PM »

these are really pretty, love the waterfall. its in the mid 40's tonight here.

Teresa · « **Reply #19 on:** October 09, 2006, 06:16:37 PM »

Lovely pictures . . . . I wanna come visit too!

I think my confederate rose is a bit more double than that, but similar. I would love to have a cutting of yours and would be happy to root a cutting of mine for trade. I'd also love it if you could root a cutting of that red passion flower since I killed my plant. I think that's one that roots easily in a glass of water . . . most of the little ones like that do . . . .

Bartman · « **Reply #20 on:** October 10, 2006, 09:12:59 AM »

Nice and lush! I love it. The only things still alive here are a couple ferns, a couple lungwort and the mums. Supposed to be -9C tonight so that will probably take care of the rest of this real quick!

Tammie,
The wife and I got back here Saturday afternoon. We were in your area on Tues since Hanauma is now closed on that day of the week. I am back at work...

but I now have to go through the 500 + photos the wife and I took while we were there. I never got a chance to find out where you lived so I didn't get to visit. I did however collect quite a bit of seed while I was in Waimea Falls though.

Here is a pic of what looks like a huge Woods Blue Goddess that is growing there. There was no sign. The pads were nearly 2' across with flowers about 10 ".

By the way, for those of you who have never been... the last shot is from Makapuu Beach and Rabbit Island near where Tammie lives. So how soon do you all want to go to HI for a pond party??????? It will take a few years for me to finish paying for last week's trip. LOL.

tammie · « **Reply #22 on:** October 10, 2006, 03:08:12 PM »

I thought you were coming next week!! Why didn't you email me so I could give you my phone #!! Shame on you! Be very glad you're not here this week - incredibly voggy, humid, no wind. Horrible!
That shot of Makapuu was taken about 3 miles away from me, right around the corner! Darn it! I was hoping you'd come help me get some work done...
Teresa - I just cut a piece of the vine and it should root in water? No root hormone or anything like that? I'm going to be cutting back the con. rose soon too. I just can't do it untill it stops blooming, it's so pretty! I'll get one going for you too.
Karen - I still have a couple of lilies to send you. Is it to late now? I was waiting for LouAnn to get back from vacation, and mail everything at once.
LeeAnne - I wish I had room for everybody... but I don't. Do have one empty bedroom tho. We're going to have to convince Louis to get on a plane and get here!
Thanks Joann! I sure did miss seeing pictures of your fishies! Was glad to see a few the other day!
Tammie

I'm up for a pond party trip to HI!

karen J · « **Reply #24 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:47:35 PM »

Tammie, We're expecting temps in the 30*s in the next couple days. I'm bringing in plants left & right.
But I've got rocks for you. I've been meaning to ask you what type of rocks are your favorite? Big? Small? Plain? Precious? Historically important?

tammie · « **Reply #25 on:** October 11, 2006, 08:50:23 AM »

30*!! I quess that means I waited to long to send you these lilies... Ah, well. They'll be even bigger in the spring. Or do you want me to still send them?
Did I tell you guys that I now have a rock from the Vatican? And another one from the base of the Little Mermaid? Doesn't matter to me if the rocks are big or small, altho it sure costs less to ship the smaller ones! I just love the stories that go along with the rocks, and I love the unusual ones too! I still find new fossils one the rock you sent me years ago!
We need to put somebody in charge of organizing the pond party in Hawaii! Not me tho, I'm not a good organizer! I do know a guy who has a bunch of houses over here that he rents out as vacation places. Seriously doubt that he'd give me a discount tho... I can call him and see. But we need to settle on at least a month, and year I quess, first.
