Flaming Flora

If you are looking for a little slice of botanical heaven, look no further than the Hawaii Bioreserve and Tropical Garden outside of Hilo, Hawaii. It didn't seem possible, but once I loaded my photographs onto the computer, I discovered I'd taken more than one thousand images while wandering the paths through the lush green jungle. This plant was identified as a Fiery Spike, also known as Aphelandra Aurantica Acanthaceae. Check out the website for an interesting backstory: htbg.com
