I had thought I got all the same flowers but apparently I was better than that. Not sure what kind of flowers they are but they are awfully pretty and for whatever reason they caught my fancy.
Enjoy. 1 of the flowers is from the Flame Tree that is originally from Japan. Not sure when they were transplanted here but they are all over the island. Mostly they are along Beach Road. But you can find them just about anywhere on the island.
When the Flame Trees are in full bloom - they are quite pretty really. They have a festival each year celebrating the Flame Tree. The weekend it was ending I had just moved here so I didn't make it. I will be here next year for it so stay tuned.
I'm not sure what tree this is but it is 1 of the trees that is on my landlord's property. At the request of family members I was going to try to get pictures of the "flat"/"apartment" I'm living in but it rained for most of the day. And when the sun did come out I was involved in a book. I suppose I could look this tree up on line but I haven't so if anyone could tell me what this tree is....????
This is a Noni fruit tree. Apparently the fruit is very bitter. It is supposed to be some sort of home remedy. Anyway, a person here told me you put it in a big jar, let it drip (on it's own) into this jar. When you want some of it, you put water in a glass along with some sugar and drink it. There is supposed to be some of this fruit in Memorial Park which is across the street from the cafe I'm sitting in.
Some flowers on the island.
Enjoy. Since the Cafe's Internet is faster than mine at the house - I guess I will have to do my Blog here. It is much less painful.
Have a great rest of the weekend everyone. It is time for me to get going to meet the person I'm having dinner with.
