My jade vine is flowering for the first time!We planted this tropical jade vine 2 years ago, just as the pandemic was becoming the big news of the day.  It was a skinny little wisp of a vine in a flower pot, wrapped around a stick of bamboo - so frail and delicate that I wondered if it would survive.  Of course, in Haiku Maui it's hard NOT to grow anything, so I was confident it would be okay.We found a home in the ground where it could climb up some mock orange bushes, and waited, and watered, and waited some more.  The tendril climbed into the tree and kept going up and up - grew a few leaves and that was it.  Finally, earlier this month I looked for some flowers, and was pleasantly surprised to find 3 long dangling "flower" strands that I hadn't noticed before.  They're about 15" lon... 03/14/2022

Planning a trip to Maui?  Don't take the Hana Highway!Almost everyone who comes to Maui as a visitor used to be encouraged to take the "road to Hana" for a once in a lifetime experience. It's famous for the 52 or so single lane bridges, stunning vistas, tropical jungle and white knuckle hair-pin curves.  But that was then and this is now...First of all, you may have to pass through the National Guard checkpoint at Twin Falls, where they'll ask you what your business is.  Are you driving to Hana?  Is it absolutely necessary?  If you're driving a Mustang or Jeep, it's probably not that important that you proceed.If you decide to continue on your journey, be prepared to encounter lots of opposition, and not many smiling faces like in the old days.You might find this guy near the start of t... 07/04/2020

Colorful tropical ti leaves in the Maui sunshineWhat can I say, it's Monday and sometimes a little lightness is required.  These are ti plants, and the leaves are called ti leaves, but not the kind you make a drink from.  The leaves have many uses here in Hawaii and almost every yard will have some growing.  They say it's good luck to plant one at every corner of your house.  You can't really have too many because they are useful for cooking, serving food, decorating, making lei and other crafts, and more.  With a wide variety of colors and sizes, it's fun to collect many different types in your garden.  Rugged and easy to grow, they can take a lot of abuse and still be healthy.Learn more about TI PLANTSGrow your own ti leaves in Haiku Maui after you find a home to buy. Thanks for readi... 02/24/2020

Getting creative with driftwood and junk in Haiku Maui. What do you get when you take some driftwood, corks, and heavy guage wire?  A fun fish to hang on the wall!  A neighbor had a driftwood party and invited a bunch of us over to get creative.  She went to a lot of bother to gather piles of driftwood, and soak it and dry it to get rid of any creepy crawlies.  We were inspired with all the woods, scraps of wires, rocks, shells, and other fun things to put together.  Glue guns, power tools, drills and what not were all available, with experienced helpers to show us how to use them.  It was a fun party, and great way to get neighbors together on a weekend.  Of course food and adult beverages were also in good supply, and the chatter was lively.  Everyone had so much fun being creative an... 02/20/2020
