Wow, Now I am definitely going to go look at your photogallery Jacob( Okay, that sounded bad. I was gonna look anyway but now I am going there immediately.  :D  ). You do know how jealous this is making me and how bad this is making it to be stuck here currently. Maybe within 6 months if I am lucky? A year at the longest.

Jacob,

Thanks for the reminder of that incredible garden.  In my humble opinion, Ho`omaluhia and Lyon Arboretum are the most amazing botanical gardens in the world.

Oooh! ...maluhia. What a place!

That Chambeyronia is supreme with so many leaves. Those Kentiopsis oliviformis are divine. Even the broken leaves hang gracefully in perfect simmetry with the upright leaves on the opposite site of the crown.

I like the picture of Cyphophoenix elegans with the Koolau mountains behind, it is all silvery.

Thanks everyone!

@Zac  - looking forward to your coming here!

@Ray - thanks the Ho`omaluhia is really special indeed.

@Carlo & Paul - I loved the phonetic spelling.  Yes seeing so many gorgeous and sexy specimens all in one place can be a bit 'overwhelming' :D

@ Bo-Göran, Jeff and Kim - Mahalo, `twas my pleasure.  I need to go back and get more photos soon!

@Patrick - LMAO I don't know I think that's a 'special" cultivar...
