On as recent family vacation to The Big Island of Hawaii, I got to participate in one of the things I love most about travel; finding new plants, especially new blooming one's. All of the following plants were seen on a short hike at Akaka Falls State Park outside of Hilo.
I reported in my last blog entry that in January 2018, I attended a mushroom camp in Occidental, California. There were many activities, one of which I will be discussing in this blog entry.
While visiting family in Fredericksburg, Virginia, one chilly February, they took me to Chatham Manor, where they had raved about the gardens. Because it was February, there wasn't much to see but the structure of the dormant garden.
