Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden

This is a beautiful, lush garden which begins at the top of the valley and winds down to Onomea Bay. Begun in 1978 by Dan and Pauline Lutkenhouse, the gardens are world class and support many varieties of tropical species.

Twin Rocks has a legend about two lovers who turned into 2 giant rocks to help safe guard their village.

L-R Phyllis, me and Kristina enjoy the view and balmy Hawaiian weather.

The waves here wash onto a black sand and volcanic rock beach.

Such a lovely place to visit. Of course I took many photos of the shapes and colours of the foliage and flowers.
