Kauai


Kauai is known as “The Garden Isle”

for its tropical rain forests,

fertile valleys and lush abundance of flora.


The island seems to be teeming

with numerous varieties of exotic flowers and plants



the showy red ginger, the magnificent torch ginger,



sensational birds of paradise, sweet smelling plumeria



and hundreds of species of orchids,



and an endless supply of vibrantly colored hibiscus varieties.



Kauai is like a gigantic tropical botanical garden

with inspiration everywhere you look !




Take time to play with your friends, nurture your heart and feed your soul.


Happy Summer !


A little back story.
A dear friend and fellow flower enthusiast that I have known since I was 17
lost her sweet husband suddenly 3 months ago.
In one of our late night conversations
she mentioned that she always wanted to go to Hawaii.
I googled, I researched and within 2 weeks we were " living the dream ".
We spent one sweet week together in gratitude and friendship.
