Backyard Flowers




Dave and Helen Ann's home is set in a clearing with many beautiful plants. Obviously, a tropical climate makes flowers which are exotic to us thrive. I've posted more pictures on Flickr, but here are a few.

Oh yes, there is a spider in the garden. It is not dangerous, and it posed for at least 10 minutes while I tried every setting on my camera to get a good close-up of it. After I uploaded the picture to the computer, I was amazed at the beautiful design on its body. It is as intricate as a Persian rug.

The plumeria is fragrant and beautiful leis are made from it.
