coral ginger

This afternoon while I was watching Lichen so that Lorinda could attend a meeting with DoE people, we wandered around the bottom of the garden and picked some flowers. You remember the walk you, Jay and I took around Honokala in 2004? That piece of coral ginger we yanked out of the embankment on the side of the road? That plant had a dozen flowers on it, some of which are on the kitchen table right now. I think they are one of my favourites. There is something to be said for hanging out with a little girl and picking flowers.
