Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve & Garden
The climate of the big island of Hawaii is diverse. Parts of it are a desert and other parts of it are very wet. On the wet part of the island you can find tropical rainforests. It is here that this bioreserve was located. There are over 2500 species of rate and endangered plants from around the world and it was definitely worth a visit! As you walk along cascading waterfalls you can see a variety of fruits, flowers, and trees that we do not have in New York. There were only two plants I could identify on my own (pineapple plant and pitcher plant) but I did learn quite a bit about other plants!

Anthurium
The center of this plant looks like a dog's head!
