Flowers

When i lived in St. Louis i always loved spring. i love daffodils, tulips, crocus and many others. my favorite is lilac which i saw in washington but it had just started to bloom, i smelled it all i could, they do not grow in hawaii which none of these flowers do because it doesn't get cold enough for the bulbs so i was so happy to experience spring in full bloom in D.C. I fell in love with cherry blossoms, i have many many pictures, they are amazingly beautiful. A lot of the pictures in the slide show below are from around D.C. but when we were out walking we came across a conservatory, a small botanical garden for free. i could have spent all day in there taking pictures of flowers so a lot are those especially the orchids. they had a cacao tree, can i grow that in hawaii? it's where chocolate comes from! the slide show is mainly flowers if you want to check it out! Happy Spring!
