My co-worker just received the beautiful flowers I sent her for her upcoming birthday. It’s so nice to see the surprised smiles! I’ve been ordering flowers from this garden since visiting there in 2005. You just can’t beat the quality and quantity for the price.

HTBG is not only AWESOME for its beauty, botanical diversity and stunning vistas of Onomea Bay, but they have the most exquisite tropical bouquets for sale/shipping. I just sent red torch ginger, heliconia, birds of paradise, etc. to a friend who lost his wife. The beauty and colors helped lift his spirits. And possibly “other” spirits, too. When he arranged them, he wasn’t too happy with his own work (poor men!) But the next morning, he woke up, went to the kitchen, and noticed the flowers were arranged perfectly in the large vase. Hmmmm. Divine intervention?

Now I am really excited about my upcoming island hop trip to the Big Island! Each island has its unique gifts to us and the Botanical Gardens out in Hilo are something to anticipate traveling too. Jennifer you really painted a beautiful, picturesque seen of this location. It is what Hawaiian vacations are made of! (and for those of us that live here, just another reminder of the awe-striking beauty we are able to engulf our souls into)… and now of course, I am going to have to see these ironwood turtles!!!

Wow–Looks like one of the best Botanical Gardens in the country! What a way to learn about the flora you see on the rest of the island. And at 15 bucks, sounds like it’s still one of the cheapest attractions on the island–and the most worth contributing to.

I’ve never been particularly attracted to the big island, but this article makes we want to go there! I especially want to see the birds and the falls.
