Tropical Flowers

'Ie'ie native plant in flower. When clearing the wall, this was one of the plants that we saved. 'Ie'ie is a vine that grows up and around trees. We cleared out around quite a bit of it, becoming very familiar with the plant itself before seeing its odd flower.










Coffee in bloom. Recently all of the coffee estates on the hill we live on have seen their coffee blooming. They call it "Kona Snow" because its the closest thing to snow they get here (aside for on the 13,000 ft volcano on island). It fills the air with a pleasant sweet fresh scent as you walk by.
