Taking Time to Smell the Plumeria

See those flowers in the photo at right? Those are Plumeria, from my garden. Plumeria -- known in some Asian countries as frangipani -- are very fragrant. They are a beloved flower here in Hawaii, and they are a favorite for stringing together into a lei. But sometimes we forget to take time to smell the flowers, even here in Hawaii.

Evelyn, over at Homespun Honolulu, is hosting a blog carnival -- the 9th Carnival of Aloha -- featuring 10 articles about Hawaii. The theme is Take Time to Smell the Plumeria. Good advice in these hectic and sometimes unsettling times!

I encourage all readers of the Virtual Scratchpad to click on over to the 9th Carnival of Aloha to enjoy some of the best of Hawaii, from some of the best Hawaii bloggers. Go smell the Plumeria!
