Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.

My (larger) plumeria cutting update: it was still growing strong! The leaves were quickly maturing at this point... so lush and big now! I'm so happy!
Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their beautiful flowers which are used to make leis (flower garlands). In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter months. Plumerias have thick stems, leathery leaves, and an abundance of flowers from early summer until fall. In the tropics, some varieties can grow to a height of over 30 feet! Plumeria's waxy, 2-4-inch flowers are very fragrant. Flower colors include pink, red, white, and yellow. Plumerias are commonly planted in containers and make excellent cut flowers. I hope my cuttings bloom in the near future!

Aren't these flowers just simply beautiful?! I feel like I'm in Hawaii lol. My smaller plumeria cutting finally blooms pink flowers! Usually, we would have to cut off the flower stalks (inflos) when starting new plumeria cuttings so they can grow roots but I couldn't resist. At least I know now what color this plumeria is...

Looking through the tropical trees to the ocean, I saw these two catamarans framed by the vegetation
I'm one happy plumeria grower! My larger plumeria cutting was on a roll and thriving! Look at all that new leaf growth..oh yea! I was going to water it for the first time since I've planted the cutting back on January 7. I've read many times that I should wait until it has at least 4 well-developed leaves and then start watering (sparingly, maybe once a week or until soil is dry again). Overall, plumeria prefer to be on the drier side. I might have to start thinking about fertilizer next since spring was right around the corner. Grow, grow, grow!

Parish Church. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SW8435 and was dedicated to St Just. The church was dedicated on 14th August 1261. It comprises a chancel, nave, south aisle, and a short north aisle, a portion of which was used as a vestry. The arcade has seven obtuse arches of granite supported on monolith pillars of the same material. There is a south porch, the entrance arch of which is paneled, a vestry door and a priest's door. The tower, which is of two stages, is buttressed at the angles, and embattled, having a the corners stump pinnacles. It contains three bells. There are north and south entrances to the churchyard through Lych gates. The church is probably the most beautiful in Cornwall; it overlooks water and is surrounded by palm trees and other exotic tropical trees and flowers.
Took this fully blossom Flame Tree near my work, got its right colors at the perfect time. Brief history in a quote: "The gods of nature looked down at the two lovers with compassion. Then, the pure white blossoms of tropical tree turned to a burning red like the lovers' blood".
The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City in Metro Manila, Philippines.
The cemetery, 152 acres (0.62 km2) or 615,000 square metres in area, is located on a prominent plateau, visible at a distance from the east, south and west. With a total of 17,206 graves, it is the largest cemetery in the Pacific for U.S. personnel killed during World War II, and also holds war dead from the Philippines and other allied nations. Many of the personnel whose remains are interred or represented were killed in New Guinea, or during the Battle of the Philippines (1941-42) or the Allied recapture of the islands. The headstones are made of marble which are aligned in eleven plots forming a generally circular pattern, set among masses of a wide variety of tropical trees and shrubbery.
From the foreground to background: Papadzules (a kind of dip made from roasted goard seeds, tomatoes and boiled eggs); chaya leaves sauteed with onion (they're actually leaves off of a tropical tree); panuchos with beef and pickled onions; empanadas stuffed with fried pork rinds and topped with sour cream and salsa mexicana; a very hot habanero salsa (the all purpose table sauce in this part of Mexico); a big green salad; and Maya style tamales with a beef and hoja santa filling.
Shocking orange flower and blue tattoo make this combination unique.

It was windy when I was there, and judging by this tree, it's *often* windy. It makes sense: the trade winds blow across the island from east to west, and this is on the southern part of the island.

Kauai, Hawaii - Day 2
Today we decided to check out a couple of beaches on the north shore. The first place we stopped at was called Queen's Bath. From the parking lot, we walked down a beautiful trail towards the shoreline. The trail was lined with tropical trees, streams and a couple waterfalls. Everything here is just stunningly beautiful. At the end of the trail, the stream ended in a waterfall that dumped into one of the many lava pools along the shoreline. During calm seas, people swim in these pools. Today, the sea was too rough to swim, but it was beautiful to see the waves crash into the rocks and the waters rush in and out of the pools. Pretty cool!

Alstonia scholaris (commonly called blackboard tree, devil tree, ditabark, milkwood-pine, white cheesewood is an evergreen tropical tree in the family Apocynaceae. It is native to the Indian subcontinent, Indomalaya, Malesia, and Australasia.
The Alstonia scholaris is a glabrous tree and grows up to 40 m (130 ft) tall. Its mature bark is grayish and its young branches are copiously marked with lenticels.
The upper side of the leaves are glossy, while the underside is greyish.[3] Leaves occur in whorls of three to ten; petioles are 1–3 cm (0.39–1.18 in); the leathery leaves are narrowly obovate to very narrowly spathulate, base cuneate, apex usually rounded; lateral veins occur in 25 to 50 pairs, at 80-90° to midvein. Cymes are dense and pubescent; peduncle is 4–7 cm (1.6–2.8 in) long. Pedicels are usually as long as or shorter than calyx. The corolla is white and tube-like, 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in); lobes are broadly ovate or broadly obovate, 2–4.5 mm (0.079–0.177 in), overlapping to the left. The ovaries are distinct and pubescent. The follicles are distinct and linear.
Flowers bloom in the month October. The flowers are very fragrant similar to the flower of Cestrum nocturnum.
Seeds of A. scholaris are oblong, with ciliated margins, and ends with tufts of hairs 1.5–2 cm (0.59–0.79 in). The bark is almost odorless and very bitter, with abundant bitter and milky sap.

Wow, beautiful yellowish flowers have bloomed on my larger plumeria plant (former cutting). Gotta love the fragrance... Since this plumeria has yellowish flowers, I think this is a celadine plumeria, aka Hawaiian Yellow. There's actually other yellow varieties but with the help from a few people\online research, this plumeria (cutting) I got falls mostly on the Hawaiian Yellow type.

The curry leaf tree (Murraya koenigii) is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae, which is native to India and Sri Lanka.
Its leaves are used in many dishes in India and neighbouring countries. Often used in curries, the leaves generally called by the name "curry leaves", though they are also translated as "sweet neem leaves" in most Indian languages (as opposed to ordinary neem leaves which are bitter).

Red ginger flower in the North Garden area of the Como conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. The North Garden is the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory’s living grocery, pharmacy and building supply store. Here you’ll find papaya, pomegranate, fig, mahogany and chocolate, along with many other plants that have a direct influence on human life. Because natural pollinators like bees and bats aren’t present here, some of these tropical trees must be pollinated by hand to coax them into producing fruit.
