Escape winter in this tropical garden
Today Pam Fraser of Ladysmith , Vancouver Island , Canada , is taking us on a lilliputian tropic vacation .
A few day ago you asked readers to send some tropic photograph 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 big garden attractiveness on the road to Hana and well deserving the layover . This garden has plants from many tropical areas of the world .
Happy spring dream to my fellow gardeners !
Croton ( Codiaeumvariegatum ) provide lot of colourful foliage , with beautiful ribbon behind .
Anthurium , a perennial for nuance in the tropics , is commonly uprise in colder climes as a houseplant .
Heliconiapsittacorumis a beautiful flower native to the Caribbean and South America .
This beautiful display of red bracts is from cerise gingerroot ( Alpiniapupurata ) .
Although the Garden of Eden does not volunteer a huge show of flowers as you would see at public garden like Butchart on Vancouver Island , there is lots of amazing color in the foliage of this ti plant(Cordyline terminalis ) .
This is bamboo on sex hormone , with some members of my family unit . The grandson in the stroller is now four and is showing some interestingness in gardening . Hooray !
This rainbow eucalypt tree ( Eucalyptusdeglupta ) from Australia has fantastically coloured bark .
Bismarck palm ( Bismarkianobilis ) , in the beginning from Madagascar
Norfolk pine ( Araucariaheterophylla ) , from Norfolk Island in the South Pacific , is another one that is familiar as a houseplant when small in cold climates .
