Description
Meet my new friend -- I fondly call him Jigger the Gecco. I first met him while I was enjoying the lovely flowers at the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden.
At first he was shy, but he eventaully warmed up to me and even posed for a souvenir picture :)
The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden (17 acres) is a nonprofit botanical garden and nature preserve located off Route 19 at 27-717 Old M�lahoa Highway P�'ikou, (Big Island), Hawaii.
The garden is located in a scenic valley opening out to Onomea Bay, and features streams, waterfalls and a boardwalk along the ocean. It was created by Dan J. Lutkenhouse, who purchased the property in 1977 and began to develop it as a botanical garden. It opened to the public in 1984, and was donated by the Lutkenhouses to a nonprofit trust in 1995.
Today the garden contains over 2,000 plant species, representing more than 125 families and 750 genera, with good collections of palms (nearly 200 species), heliconias (more than 80 species), and bromeliads (more than 80 species). Some of the Garden's mango and coconut palm trees are over 100 years old.
