My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Field Trip to HARC
At the behest of Dr Maureen Fitch who we know from the Cactus and Succulent Society of Hawaii, La and the kids stopped by the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center out in Kunia (probably one of the few places that gets hotter and more intense sunlight than we do in Ewa Beach). The kids and La got a first hand account of what research is done at HARC and what a botanist does.
These Aloe were transplanted from the KCC garden (if I am remembering my facts correctly) and they've had a few years to get acclimated to the conditions in Kunia.
I'm glad La and the kids got to see the Aloes in bloom (I wish I could have been there)!
