I hope these photos are helping to provide you with the same warm tropical thoughts that we&#8217;re trying to retain. Below are flowers from a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutorchids.com\/blog\/2009\/01\/28\/spathoglottis\/\">Spathoglottis<\/a>, a Hong Kong Orchid Tree (not a true orchid, but it smells just as sweet,) an Anthurium, and a Vireya. They&#8217;re all from the B&amp;B&#8217;s gardens. If these blooms aren&#8217;t enough to mentally transport you to a lush, warm paradise, then maybe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artandorchids.com\/\">Art and Orchids&#8217; great new website<\/a> can help. And definitely check back here soon for some more inspiration &#8212; we have lots more Hawaii pictures to share.
