It was still pretty chilly on the day we toured the garden, so going into the glass palm house was welcomed; back outside, a photographer was doing a spring swim suit fashion shoot up by the pond, and the thin models parading around in their bikinis looked a bit, shall we say... nippy? Normally I'm all for watching something like this, but blue flesh is not that attractive. So, the palm house it was, and I finally understood the passion that tropical gardeners have about palm trees... the typical coconut palms of Hawaii were replaced by a fascinating variety of palms, with bark that ranged from fuzzy brown, to smooth green; all beautiful.
