Tropical Embellishments: Festival of Stuff
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/festival-of-stuff.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Thursday, May 10, 2007. Terracotta Army of Maui gets a sentinel stuff. Some pots were sold. Some pots were added. Equilibrium has been maintained. Indoor stuff being sent outside. Freshly weeded slightly piqued succulent stuff. Big Bromeliads in Buckets stuff. Discombobulated indoor stuff hoping to land in a shipping box. Tiny lavender flowers on long skinny stems stuff. Sigh So much little stuff to go through just to get access to the big stuff. The Sights a...

Tropical Embellishments: Briefly Surfacing
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/briefly-surfacing.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Sunday, May 13, 2007. From the dust and debris for an evening stroll through a shrinking garden. My sunset slice has shifted and now includes my Cocovane Weather Palm. It is the best time to review what progress if any has been made for the day and to look at the little things that still give me pleasure. Something to soothe a wicked tired body and mind. Something pretty in blue emerging. Fresh green spring leaves. The newness just feels good. Bev, there are ...

Tropical Embellishments: Inside Outside
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/inside-outside.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Sunday, May 27, 2007. A new policy has been instituted. If it goes outside to get sold, it is not allowed back inside. The result is the house is pretty much emptied and actual packing has commenced. The carport is surprisingly tidy considering how much stuff it now contains. I rarely dropped the blinds in the bedroom unless I was trying to take a late afternoon nap. Who would want to hide This View from My Window. The jungle outside my window takes on a new ...

Tropical Embellishments: Winding Down
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/winding-down.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Monday, May 21, 2007. The plants are pouring out of the nursery, so much so that some of them are actually jumping out of the ground in the hopes that they will survive in new homes. I don't want to be judgmental or too negative, but after sixteen years of observation of the real owners of what will be the remains of my garden I don't hold much hope for this place once I am gone. With out a gardener there is no garden. More ominous days lie ahead. The tre...

Tropical Embellishments: GBBD May
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/gbbd-may.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. While I still can, I figured I should give the people what they really really want, the exotic and the tropical. Garden Bloggers Bloom Day gathering spot is at Carol's May Dreams Gardens. Calathea insignis, the Rattle Snake Plant. I think I need to take some pictures about half an hour earlier with a touch more light. This flower is truly a vibrant corn on the cob yellow. Heliconia collinsiana, one of the hanging Heliconia. What a lot o...

Tropical Embellishments: It's Beginning
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/its-beginning.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Thursday, May 10, 2007. To look a lot like. I don't wear shoes when I garden at home. That I will have an exotic slippa tan for my cross country trek. If they don't make me wear shoes on the mainland. Do they make you? That I have walked through a lot of biological ooze. I could use a pedicure. Or scrub harder when I shower. It's beginning to look a lot like. I should buy one new pair slippa before I go. Posted by Christopher C in Hawaii 11:09 PM. The Sights ...

Tropical Embellishments: That was Just a Dream
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/that-was-just-dream.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Friday, May 18, 2007. That was Just a Dream. Did I ever really leave home for such a long time, half of my life? Right before I move back, closer to my place of origin, this tree I know, of familiar times and places goes all southern on me. The Crape Myrtle is about to go off. In this line of small trees that created my main garden room and sheltered me from the house above were other trees with southern roots. Ilex x attenuata 'East Palatka'. My first deep p...

Tropical Embellishments: Papaya Skies
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/papaya-skies.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Monday, May 28, 2007. It was another moist like day with the sky contemplating rain and offering up only minor sprinkles. I was inside most of the time packing my life into a corner. A test space for my big box that is being sent air freight. Everything must fit in a 48 inch by 40 inch by 58 inch tall, rigid shipping box. I would guess this Papaya is about 25 feet tall. It will not fit in the Big Box. Another day is done. In the land of Papaya Skies. May all ...

Tropical Embellishments: What Lurks In My Garden
http://tropicalembellishments.blogspot.com/2007/05/what-lurks-in-my-garden.html
One Voice in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean. Wednesday, May 16, 2007. What Lurks In My Garden. The jungly abundance is putting on a tropical spring show as I wander it's nether regions doing things to it. A lot of new air and light is reaching into the hidden recesses. As long as it continues to get water it will close back in on itself once more. Some slightly blurry baby Avocados. Ring-a-ding-ding. Alliums can become my new Agapanthus in the colder climes of mountaintop gardening. 4:34 AM, May 17, 2007.
