In with the old...in with the new

We are getting so many plants and new sprouts that there is a constant lack of planters. Inspired by a summer in Oregon, we decided to get a little crafty. A trip to the local thrift shop kitchen department ended in a new collection of creative pots!

In addition to new plant holders, there are a couple of new plants as well. We went along the Pu'u Pia trail in Manoa looking for bounty. The hike was lush and green, and no one else was on it. I managed to pick several berries and seeds--update on that forthcoming! Adam wants to bonsai something, and he found the cutie pictured here:

The other addition to our collection is a mini European Christmas tree! I love the idea of a living tree. If the climate doesn't prove too warm, we should have the same beauty to celebrate the holidays with next year. The tag says it can grow to 15 feet. Right now it's about 15 inches tall, so we will see what happens...
