Aloha from Kaua'i

Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) and Aloha to you all!!
We are taking a few weeks vacation here in Kaua'i over Christmas. Our year was exhausting in oh so many ways, and we are here to rejuvenate and renew ourselves. The tide and surf here on Poipu beach are very high for this time of year, and surfers abound - oh no - NOT ME! I am a watcher for sure. Would you like us to make our photos available? The doves here have such a very unique voice -- and there are roosters everywhere. Cats living happily in the rocks at the seashore - fat, happy, healthy and friendly. LOTS of various plants - ones I barely keep going at home, and celebrate when they give me one bloom, and here, they are pruned by muscular men with chainsaws,
The catalogue is done and sent out to all who requested it, and also those who purchased this past year. The printed catalogue will have far fewer plants in it than the on-line one. Having said that - the printed catalogue is completed. The on-line one is not. Well, it is THERE, to be uploaded in excel format, but there are more to be added to it. so - it is a work in progress.
Gold Strike Brunnera is the big event of the year - a totally unique and new and no-where-else available plant. Seriously. $50 per plant to go out in April or May with the other plants.

It is 6 am here - time to make a pot of Kona Coffee, sit out on the Lanai for another 45 minutes and then walk up to the Spouting Horn (about 5 kms) at sunrise.

More later - aloha and many blessings
