The wind continued to be strong in Hilo, so we decided to save explorations of the Puna coastline4 (including tidepools) until Monday when the ocean would hopefully be more calm. Today, we headed south to visit the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens. The gardens start well above the sea, then drop down through jungle terraces with orchids, bromiliads, ti plants, ferns, bananas, gingers and so much more.
The setting is a tropical forest, with light shimmering through dense canopies of tall trees, draped with orchids, vines, and ferns. Through th0s jungle cascades streams, with layered waterfalls abundant.
