Hey, it’s only my opinion.

Happy Saturday!
Thank you my friend
I wish I could smell that Puakenikeni, even though it would make me sneeze! Heavenly.
Makes you sneeze? hmmm It’s one of my favorites
Those are beautiful!
Mahalo…glad you enjoyed
I can’t even pronounce the second one, but its lovely. Only in Hawaii you grow exotic flowers!
Just pronounce everything. You’ll get it
Glad you liked 
I never get tired of looking at flowers. Love your photos, too bad there’s no scent to enjoy through the picture.
Thank you the pink ones have no scent actually. The Puakenikeni makes up for it however.
Oh Thom! How Lovely! I can almost Smell the fragrance from Here!Hahaa
The center one looks ready to Burst with it!!
Gorgeous flowers!!!
Thank you. It’s the only one of them that has a scent.
Good Saturday morning to you Thom. Love these gorgeous blooms! I think the Desert Rose is my favorite…
It’s a beauty I tell ya. Glad you enjoyed.
Splendid! I especially love the Hibiscus.
Thanks. It’s a beauty.
Beautiful flowers. My first time to see a hibiscus (1st photo) that is wrinkled. So pretty indeed. Happy weekend!

Wow, what a yard you must have — the local authorities issued me a citation about mine (great welcome home, that was…)
LOl…oh no…I can’t wait to hear about that. Thanks it’s pretty big but not as pretty as it could be
Beautiful! It must be lovely to be surrounded by such beautiful flowers!
Indeed it is my friend
They are all so pretty but the Puakenikeni is so simple yet so lovely.
Thanks and you should smell it. It’s wonderful
Those blossoms are gorgeous!
Mahalo my friend
You can just go out and get such great shots? Lucky bug. All I get are dandelions.
LOL Well they can be pretty.
