Persian Shield!

Here's a couple of pics of our Pesian Shield. I don't have too much info on these, but the grow very well here in Hawaii, as long as they are in the shade. I just like the beautiful purple/lavender color!

Aloha! Welcome to the Big Island!

I've been living here on the Big Island for about 5 years now, and I must admit that it is one of the most beautiful and amazing places I have ever seen. So much so I decided to start this blog and share photos and info with all those interested.

My husband and I own a small 4 acre farm here, Farm on Big Island, way up on the slopes of Mauna Loa at 4300' elevation. We grow and distill our own English Lavender and also Rosemary. For both of us, farming and growing plants has become a way of life that we are both very thankful for. I'll be posting up many pictures and some information on many of the beautiful plants found here, and I hope you'll check back often to see what's new!

This is a picture of one of our Plumerias that grow pretty much everywhere on the island. You might know it as Frangipani.

This one is more of a pink shade, and they range from white to yellow to pink. When they are in bloom, the aroma is just fantastic!
