like this cactus-y tree (?)
Okinawa has gorgeous flowers and lots of orchids (which you note immediately after you leave the airplane in Naha).
Here's something called a Jade Plant
There are so many gorgeous things to see at this place that I kinda gave up and just started taking pictures of things that were of interest to me like these guys:
On the left is the bottle palm, I don't know what that is on the right. In both is some kind of tropical mistletoe.
These two above were in the Enchanted Forest section.
This has to be one of my favorite signs (next to the sign at Naha Airport that states puddings are not allowed):
But the real highlight has to be the carp. They're disgusting.
So I took several videos:
You can feed them, there's a vending machine (of course) full of fish food and it's gotta be the best 100 yen you can spend.
Here's me gettin' more riled up:

The carp are so gross and so cool at the same time. I am so glad that you get to live in a gorgeous place. That takes the sting off the homesickness i'll bet. I love you! =)
I want to go there when Dad and I come to visit.
I'm headed to the botanical garden tomorrow. I've been wanting to go and hubby doesn't seem to excited about it, so I'll go by myself while he is at work! Great pics!
My family and I lived in Okinawa for 3 years. This garden is amazing. Food however outside Kaiden's base is Ghangus Kahn. Best food ever
Kadena air base
