After the waterfall we headed to the Akatsuka Orchid Gardens.
There are hundreds of Orchids of all different varieties here. Â Some are quite colorful.
And some are plain.
We had 25 minutes, including the restroom break.
That is the downside to the Shore Excursions or organized tours.
You are on a schedule, and never quite get enough time for anything.
So you do what you can. Â I have no idea what the news of all of these orchids are, and I only photographed a few of them.
I was using my new Canon EF100mm Macro, if not for the first time, at least pretty close to the first time.
So there was a lot of quick shooting going on. Â I could have spent the 25 minutes on just one flower and still needed more time!
It consolation was that it did smell pretty nice in there!
I was amazed at the variety.
Big and small, colorful and plain, inexpensive and very much NOT inexpensive!
It was quite a sight.
I don’t know what these two are…they don’t look like orchids to me.
…
Darned if I know!
…
Then it was back on the bus and off to the Volcano!
(Just a note if you are confused. Â The Day mentioned in the Titles are blog post days, not days on Hawai’i. Â We got there on the 14th of March, and this post, like the one before and the next couple, are from the 20th of March.)
