On returning from my mainland trip, one of the first things I did the next day was take a little walk around the yard..... This is what I found
Coral shaded anthurium by the driveway
Yellow bearded with brown throat orchids on a tree almost by our house
Velvety white gardenias in my flower bed
Coral bouganviliea (or paper flower) down by the Buddha Garden
Heliconia Bihai (I believe it is also known as Kamehameha), also by the driveway
Shell pink anthurium growing among the coral ones
Varigated Cuban oregano in our veggie and herb garden
A mini purple eggplant, also in our veggie and herb garden
A miniature pineapple. These are not edible but I love to use them in arrangements.
........and our very first cacao pod, on a tree by our house.
And that is how our garden is growing at the moment. I will be writing about our cacao soon.
I'm not sure where you can find them where you live, Tracy. A friend gave us our starters here some years ago and we just keep planting the little tops....I found a different variety at Home Depot nursery in Hilo about a month or so ago and got one just to try it. Darker leaves and fruit.

Aloha Helen
Thank you for leaving a comment. I have never heard of a black anthurium. Would love to see one if you ever find it!

I found this sight while looking for Anthuriums.
I have 13 different colours but never seen the Coral or Shellpink.I also believe there is a black one as well.
Love your sight
