Pink Torches
We saw these beautiful torch gingers all over the Hana coast in shades of pink and red. The ginger plant has a huge number of variations and is probably the most useful of all flower species on Maui. It is used as a main ingredient in many Hawaiian dishes and grows very prolifically in all areas. The blossoms have no smell until they are squeezed in the palm of your hand, which releases a very fragrant, candy-like smell.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
