I would love to see tropical plants and rare trees growing out of doors as well as the orchid house as, of course, all the tropical plants that are cultivated here are under glass. You had an enjoyable and varied day that day, including meeting up with friends - always a joy and makes a holiday away even more special.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-53451089449214199012016-01-18T06:09:09.837-05:002016-01-18T06:09:09.837-05:00What a lovely time you had!What a lovely time you had!diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-30492603367435813622016-01-18T00:34:24.514-05:002016-01-18T00:34:24.514-05:00Yes Limu is seaweed and a healthy delicacyYes Limu is seaweed and a healthy delicacyCloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-13860650575914585132016-01-18T00:33:47.320-05:002016-01-18T00:33:47.320-05:00I am enjoying this immensely, a bit wistfully too ...I am enjoying this immensely, a bit wistfully too Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-91271118350628843422016-01-17T21:11:27.809-05:002016-01-17T21:11:27.809-05:00Very nice holiday decorations and I also enjoy peo...Very nice holiday decorations and I also enjoy people-watching when we travel, Denise.

That's how a good quality tuna is meant to be eaten! Love the botanic garden shots and the outside-growing poinsettias.
