My colorful photohunt challenge this week was very easy, I recently went to visit this ti nursery close to where I live in Hawaiian Paradise Park in the Puna District and took an exciting photo tour of this colorful property.
This grower started his nursery as a hobby to eventually turn this into a full time business when he retires. Meanwhile, he has a stunning show garden and nursery up and running for business. I discovered this nursery after seeing his wonderful ti plants at the local Macuu farmers market in East Hawaii and after seeing all the vivid and colorful varieties, I was inspired to see I could visiit and photograph his nursery.
What I didn't expect to find was this exotic and other-worldy show garden in addition to this simple nursery. He grew some of the most exhuberant, bold, and variegated accent plants. Every time I turned to a new angle I was confronted with exciting compositions.
Intense colorations and intense shades of red from just this one plant... isn't it striking?
All the curved surfaces and raindrops remind me of the sensual curves of another abstract painter with a very colorful palete. This is a very inspiring place, don't you agree?
I hope you enjoyed this ti farm tour, its a very special place on this side of the island.

What absolutely beautiful plants that make such colorful photos! Funnily enough, when I was first loading the page, I thought that the top picture (which is a little more abstract) was going to turn out to be an octopus!! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a ti plant!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for your kind words on my own pics!! Have a great week!
Wow that's an amazing place! Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden! And colourful!! It looks so lush; no lack of water there. Yes, I can imagine that this place is worth exploring. Are you a gardener yourself? I think the plant world is very interesting and can be very beautiful if you find plants like these.
ReplyDeleteI am not a gardener myself. (My husband complains that I don't help out enough with weeding etc.) But I enjoy walking around our neighbourhood and looking at the fruits of others labours in sweet little back gardens.
The Peace rose is actually in our own garden. But I must confess that this garden was ready when we moved in. I have not planted anything. Each spring I make discoveries of what my predecessors left in the garden.
Nice to meet you, Noel. Thank you for visitng my PH-post for 'colourful'. I used to post for PH a lot, but then stopped for about a half a year. Thought I'd try it again this week.
Best wishes,
Anna

ReplyDeletecolorful plants, God's creation and man's hard work.
ReplyDeleteLast week, our New Zealand came to school and danced for the kids, the islands of the Pacific. ALOHA, the students learned, and they did the HULA.
A very colorful garden. It is amazing that one plant can be so many different colors. I like the contrast of colors and textures in your photos.
ReplyDeleteI have several big pots of the Ti plant. I have purchased little pieces of the plant in Hawaii on several of my visits. They all are thriving in my southern California location. But, I don't dare plant them in the ground for fear of them freezing on colder winter nights or getting too much HOT sun here. They love my pots beneath my patio cover!
ReplyDeletethe garden looks inviting, love the colourful plants
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colours. I had a Bromiliad many years ago but left it when I moved once and couldn't take it. I hope it found a happy home. They some in so many different varieties, too!
