Back from Hawaii: A 40-degree difference

Albizzia

Just returned from a wonderful half work, half pleasure vacation in Honolulu, where I found my island ohana (family), a group of musicians and artists -- seekers all. Above is a picture of albizzia, also known as mimosa, or "the happiness tree." They bloomed under our hotel's lanai balcony toward the end of our trip. It was my first time meeting this fantastic plant, which treats depression and anxiety. Back with a full travel report and photos as soon as I recover from mild jetlag!
