Botany and Free Time

On Friday I had the day off but Bryan had to work. After enough time on the couch with indulgent cable programming (i.e. Real Housewives of Orange County) to make me feel very relaxed, I hauled myself out of the house and went to the Waioli Tea Room just up the street in Manoa Valley. It's a supercasual and not-swanky restaurant that serves tea. I like the quiet setting and the lush landscape reminds me of Hilo. It was like the first day in 8 weeks that my free time was spent apart from Bryan. I got a bit geeky and was tripping out on all the unusual Hawaii plants. This is some plant growing on a tree branch. I happened to see one of these for sale once so know that it's very rare and expensive. The Hawaii folks can fill me in on what it's called and how it grows. I just like that it's weird.

I took a bunch of pictures of more attractive plants that I'll try to share over the next few days.

Aloha,
Jenni

I think that's a staghorn fern. My grandpa used to grow them & I have a couple in my back yard. :)
