Have you ever seen an aloe vera plant in the ground? I've seen acres of this plant grown in Costa Rica. Aloe Vera has many uses including healing burns and adding moisture and nutrition to hair, skin, and food. Many cosmetics include Aloe Vera in the ingredients.

Baby's Breath

Baby's breath is a beautiful plant. I found it growing on my yard. I was even more surprised to hear and see a swarm of bees in the bush. Baby's breath is a flowering plant with many small flowers growing on one stem.

Lovely Flowers from Hawaii

These lovely tropical flowers were found on the mountainside in Maui, Hawaii.








The flowers are often grown in the gardens of the local residents, and then sold outside of their homes. This boquet cost only $3. The same flowers were found in a neighboring store for $15. What an difference!

The boquet can be kept in a vase at home and then later dried and kept in a boquet or made into a wreath.
