Yes, yes, yes, I saw wonderful species hibiscus and I actually grow the Koki'o in my own garden. The Big Island was fascinating to someone from the SC lowcountry where everything is beautiful but very flat and marshy. I did get to spend an afternoon with Carol which was an unforgettable experience. We were staying in Volcano and the folks at the big orchid place told me I should visit Rossett's nursery, which I did, also in your neighborhood.

I was just surprised not to see more of the fancier hibiscus. I guess when you are blessed with so much beauty around you who needs more. Seeing all the beautiful plants just growing wild along the road was awesome. Most of us on this forum fuss so to grow these plants and in HI the birds successfully plant them.

This was an interesting one.....
