This image was taken in early morning natural light with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau The beautiful Plumeria comes in a wide variety of delightful colours and bloom virtually year round. Plumeria (Frangipani) also known as the Lei flower, is native to warm tropical areas of the Pacific Islands, Caribbean, South America and Mexico. Plumerias may grow to be large shrubs or even small trees in the Hawaiian Islands and in mild areas of the U.S on the mainland. In tropical regions, Plumeria may reach a height of 30’ to 40’ and half as wide. They have widely spaced thick succulent branches, round or pointed, long leather, fleshy leaves in clusters near the branch tips. Plumeria are true tropical flowering trees, also known as Frangipani or the Temple Tree, and the fragrant flowers are often used to make Hawaiian leis. They may be grown in containers, in the ground, or in containers sunk in the ground. During the months of active growth, ample sun, water and food are essential. Healthy plumeria will bloom regularly and abundantly when they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun per day. They are heavy feeders and will bloom and grow vigorously with enough of the proper foods. Plumeria love lots of water, but cannot tolerate wet feet, so they must be planted in fast draining soil or in beds with adequate drainage. The fragrance is wonderful with hints of jasmine. This lovely beauty is blooming in our garden.

Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Plumeria, common name Frangipani; syn. Himatanthus Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) is a small genus of 7-8 species native to tropical and subtropical Americas. The genus consists of mainly deciduous shrubs and trees. It produces flowers ranging from yellow to pink depending on form or cultivar. From Mexico and Central America, Plumeria has spread to all tropical areas of the world, especially Hawai`i, where it grows so abundantly that many people think that it is indigenous here. The genus, originally spelled Plumiera, is named in honour of the seventeenth-century French botanist Charles Plumier, who traveled to the New World documenting many plant and animal species. The common name “Frangipani” comes from an Italian noble family, a sixteenth-century marquess of which invented a plumeria-scented perfume. In Mexico, the Nahuatl (Aztec language) name for this plant is “cacalloxochitl” which means “crow flower.” It was used for many medicinal purposes such as salves and ointments. Depending on location, many other common names exist: “Kembang Kamboja” in Indonesia, “Temple Tree” or “Champa” in India, “Kalachuchi” in the Philippines, “Araliya” or “Pansal Mal” in Sri Lanka, “Champa” in Laos, “Lantom” or “Leelaawadee” in Thai. Many English speakers also simply use the generic name “plumeria”. In several Pacific islands, such as Tahiti, Fiji, Hawai`i, Tonga and the Cook Islands Plumeria is used for making leis. In modern Polynesian culture, it can be worn by women to indicate their relationship status – over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken. P. alba is the national flower of Nicaragua and Laos, where it is known under the local name “Sacuanjoche” (Nicaragua) and “Champa” (Laos).

This upright succulent branches from the base and has narrow cylindrical green stems with ovate leaves, with a thick mid-vein on the lower surface, that appear near the branch tips. All vegetative parts of the plant are often sparsely hairy. In the warmth of late spring and summer appear the curiously shaped red cyathia (flower structures containing separate male and female parts) are enclosed in rounded reddish pink bracts near the branch tips. These curious flowers on several Pedilanthus species are somewhat shoe shaped and gives this genus the common name Slipper Plant. Other common names include Slipper Spurge and Candelilla (more commonly associated with Euphorbia antisyphilitica and Pedilanthus macrocarpus), for the hard brown wax from this species. Plant in full sun in a well drained soil and water sparingly to not at all. This plant may be hardy to around 25° F . The Pedilanthus have been reclassified many times and the current treatment is to include them with the genus Euphorbia, making this plant’s valid name Euphorbia bracteata. This beautiful plant is native to dry deciduous woodlands in Mexico from Sonora to Guerrero and is easily distinguished from Pedilanthus macrocarpus, a Baja California species sometimes seen in southwestern gardens, by its taller height and longer stems as well as the presence of leaves at the branch tips which the leafless Pedilanthus macrocarpus lacks.” Pedilanthus bracteatus Botanical Information Source This beautiful speciment was photographed at the lovely Enchanting Floral Gardens of Kula on Maui Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 21 July 2009 13:03:26 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/200 / Av( Aperture Value ) 8.0 / ISO Speed 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Macro / Focal Length 95.0 mm

All rights reserved Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here There are more than 500 species of Passion Flowers, and they are the exclusive larval food plants for more than 70 species of tropical and subtropical butterflies. The name, Passiflora or “passion flower”, was given by 16th century Spanish missionaries in South America who thought they saw a reference to the Crucifixion of Christ in the elaborate flower structures: The corona, sitting at the top of the flower, is the crown of thorns; the five anthers are the five wounds; the three styles are the three nails; and the five petals and five sepals are the apostles, less Judas and Peter. This beauty is growing in the rainforest / Ke’anae Peninsula Maui Hawai’i Passiflora coccinea / Red Grandilla It is a beautiful flowering vine which is native to South America. Red passionflower is indigenous to the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil This plant may be evergreen or semi-evergreen. Here on the tropical island of Maui they are evergreen. The stems are very slender and smooth and the leaves have large lobes and sport fine hairs. After flowering, a 2” orange to yellow edible fruit is formed. Red passionflower does best with a well drained soil made from equal parts sand or gravel, peat, and loam. Passionflowers thrive on regular feeding with fertilizers high in potash. Care should be taken not to overwater or overfeed. Pests and diseases associated with growing Passiflora racemosa include spider mites, whiteflies, scale insects, leafspots, virus diseases and iron deficiency. / Light: Red passionflower needs full sun or partial shade and should be protected from drying winds and the hottest midday sun. / Moisture: Red passionflower prefers a humid atmosphere and regular watering. The roots will rot if the soil is not well drained. / Hardiness: USDA Zones 10 – 12. Red passionflower tolerates temperatures down to 50ºF (10ºC) for short periods. / Propagation: Red passionflower is easily rooted from tip cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cuttings should include a node or small section (heel) of older wood. Passionflowers also can be grown from seed, although this method is more difficult; seeds should be soaked prior to planting and germination will be slow. Usage / Passiflora racemosa can be grown in a container. It is especially well suited for growing in the greenhouse or conservatory. It also can be grown as a house plant, but it needs high humidity. In frost free climates red passionflower is grown as a cover for a trellis, arbor, fence or garden teepee. Red passionflower can be planted next to an open shrub or tree and allowed to grow up through the branches. This is a vigorous plant and when mature it is likely to become tangled with dead growth in the center and should be pruned annually. Passiflora racemosa is a strikingly beautiful evergreen vine with hanging, 1 ft (0.3 m) long clusters of 8-12 elaborately formed bright red flowers. The individual flowers are bowl-shaped, about 5 in (12.7 cm) across, and have ten bright red sepals and petals, collectively called “tepals.” There are five purple and white structures called “coronas” perched above the tepals. The flowers usually are borne in opposing pairs on the pendent racemes, and are produced throughout the summer and fall. They yield to small, oblong, deep green edible fruits about 3 in (7.6 cm) in length. The stems of red passionflower are slender and angled, and the leaves are rather sparsely distributed. The 4 in (10.2 cm) leaves are glossy and leathery, and may be entire or three-lobed. Red passionflower grows to a length of 10-30 ft (3.1-9.1 m).

A fresh Hibiscus unfolds in afternoon light. / Lahaina Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days.

Nikon D60, as is Convolvulus is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae, with a cosmopolitan distribution. Common names include bindweed and morning glory, both names shared with other closely related genera. / They are annual or perennial herbaceous vines and (a few species) woody shrubs, growing to 0.3-3 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, and the flowers trumpet-shaped, mostly white or pink, but blue, violet, purple or yellow in some species. / Many of the species are problematic weeds, which can swamp other more valuable plants by climbing over them, but some are also deliberately grown for their attractive flowers. However, some other species are globally threatened. / This species occurs in many temperate regions. They are mostly slender, creeping winding vines. A few are small perennials. They have simple, alternate leaves and wide funnel-shaped flowers.
