The Earth Laughs in Flowers *

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A garden to walk in 

and immensity to dream in-

-what more could he ask? 

A few flowers at his feet 

and above him the stars.

     Victor Hugo







Tropical Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 
'Stolen Kiss'

Let  us dance in the sun, 

wearing wild flowers 

in our hair.

 Susan Polis Schutz










Royal poinciana-  Delonix regia 


She wore flowers 

in her hair and carried 


magic secrets 

in her eyes. 

Arundhati Roy








Tropical Hibiscus - Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 
'Foxy Lady'

Doubt your doubts before 

you doubt yourself.

        Lewis Pugh












Allamanda schottii - Bush allamanda

The violets in the mountains 

have broken the rocks.

   Tennessee Williams













Cirrus clouds - wispy, feathery ice crystals

Sometimes,

an exotic journey of discovery

begins and ends

right on your own

street.





Felis catus

I will be the gladdest thing 

under the sun! 

I will touch a hundred flowers 

and not pick one.

 Edna St. Vincent Millay

Be careful around that Royal Poinciana. It has thorns and considered poisonous.
