Started early this morning at 5:00am. Got to Halona Blow Hole and waited for the sunrise. Air was dry and cool. I was the only person there and as it got closer to 6:15am I turned around and there were quite a few locals and tourists behind me. Most of the people were wearing masks.
After the sunrise I decided to walk thru Koko Crater Botanical Garden in search of something different. The air was still dry and cool which made hiking the trail pleasant. Last Tuesday, Celia and I met an individual who told us about three plumeria trees in the botanical garden that has plumeria flowers with 10 petals, so I went on a scavenger hunt for that flower. Did I find it? You tell me.
Peeking over the horizon.
Most plumeria flowers have FIVE PETALS.
This plumeria flower has FOUR PETALS
Believe it or not this is a Transvaal Gardenia shrub native to South Africa.
Cluster fig tree.
A red cardinal stopped by to greet me good morning.
WOW SNAKES ALIVE!!!
The flower of a WILD BITTER MELON vine.
The tentacles of the NOBLE ALOE.
