Part 3 Pool planter Project

FINALLY THE INSTALLATION. I PICKED THE HANGING HELICONIA TO FEATURE IN MY PLANTER.  I THINK THE ORNAMENTAL HANGING RED FLOWERS WILL LOOK REALLY COOL ONCE IT GROWS INTO THE SPACE.   VIDEO IN MY NEXT POST 🤠

Part 2 Farm favorites

SO AS SOME OF YOU KNOW OR NOT IVE BEEN RENOVATING A HOUSE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND ITS GOTTEN TO THE LANDSCAPING STAGE.  I HAD A CONCRETE PLANTER MADE BY THE POOL SO ITS TIME TO FILL IT!  THE FIRST THING I HAD TO DO WAS SOURCE SOME TROPICAL PLANTS TO GO WITH THE THEME OF MY POOL DECK.  THE FARM I WENT TO WAS IN WAIMANALO ON THE EAST SIDE CALLED "KOBA'S NURSERY."  HERES A FEW OF MY FAVORITE PLANTS I SPOTTED WHILE I WAS THERE. 🌺

THIS IS A MAGNOLIA TREE. THE HUGE WHITE ORNAMENTAL FLOWERS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES! I WISH I HAD A SPOT FOR ONE OF THESE TREES, BUT IT JUST DOESN'T MATCH MY THEME. 😪

THIS MULTICOLOR ALOCASIA KINDA HAS A COW PATTERN ON THE LEAVES WHICH I THINK IS REALLY UNIQUE! THIS WOULD MAKE A COOL HOUSE PLANT.  ILL DEF HAVE TO GO BACK FOR THIS ONE! 🌿

I DID BRING ONE OF THESE FERNS HOME FOR MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. SOME EVEN GROW UP TO 20 FEET TALL IN THE WILD! YOU CAN SEE ALOT OF THESE GROWING IN THE MOUNTAINS HERE IN HAWAII. 🌱
