MOVING DAY

In honor of my 50th post, I have switched to my own domain and website!

If you’ve been reading my blog at http://lava-to-lilikoi.blogspot.com, you may have noticed my occasional sign-off as “Lava Lily.” The reason?? My brother has been helping me set up this new site.

“Lava to Lilikoi,” the full name of my blog, is a bit much for people who are not accustomed to Hawai`ian talk! So we gave the domain a name people could remember.

Welcome to the unveiling of http://lavalily.com and my 50th post!

The old site on Blogger will remain up so you can read through the archived posts, although they are here as well.

While you’re here, look around. You will find all sorts of other fascinating topics in my new “Lava Lily” neighborhood. Check out my “personal” page to find out what I enjoy beyond gardening. Also, check out my professional page to see what I do in my “real” life.

Some of the boxes haven’t been completely unpacked and put away yet (isn’t that the way with most moves?) so be patient with me.

PLEASE NOTE: If you normally received “Lava to Lilikoi” via FeedBlitz or RSS Reader, you will need to re-subscribe to this new address. Please continue to enjoy the saga of lava gardening!

A hui ho! (See you later!)

Janice Crowl did such a beautiful job of covering the 6^th Annual Seed Exchange at the Amy B.H. Greenwell Gardens that I won’t try to top it! http://hawaiigardening.blogspot.com/2008/06/seeding-hawaiis-future.html

I did bring home seeds that will probably go into big containers, rather than into my lava yard! Please do read her post on this wonderful event. She covers it professionally and with good close-ups of some of the seeds and plants available.

I do want to comment on it, however, and show a few of the pictures I took while there. The Theme of “Ignite the Fire Within” was illustrated by two fire bowls.

The gathered fruit offerings brought by the community of gardeners.

So many of us lost plants to the sulfur dioxide. A friend brought blooms from her two protea that survived, saying that it was Pele’s way of weeding out and that the survivors were to be blessed.

Signs from a couple tables with seeds and plants for the taking

Care for a refreshing drink of coconut water?

Next year I plan to wear boots and carry a bigger bag for seeds and plants.

Aloha,

Lucy
