I captured the beauty of these gems in January of this year when my hubby and I visited the "Garden Island" aka Kaua'i Hawaii. Indeed breathtaking not to mention... paradise.

I think many of us, seeing your beautiful post-card type banner, are recalling memories of the beauties of the islands ...

Gorgeous banner. It brought up some wonderful memories of Kaui'i, which we visited years ago. Thanks.

to all of you for the kind words and likes regarding my banner.

The

was appreciated as well!

@terrafirma the flower on the far right is called (as per the Hawaiian natives) a Queen Emma Lily - Crinum Amabile.
According to the woman that I spoke w/ they grow to be quite large and only last a little over a week or so.
I found them to have a very sweet/lovely fragrance.
I think these 2 are the same kind of flower if not they sure do resemble each other even though they are different colors.
