"Heliconia come in many shapes, sizes, and colors; some grow upwards, others, like the Sexy Pinks (in this painting) hang down," shares Patrice. "The true flowers are small & conical, growing inside the showy bracts.
An early morning swim at Kaimana Beach Park is a favorite exercise routine. With every lap I see “my” favorite fish in their usual hangouts. There is the Hawai`i state fish, the Trigger Fish, a.k.a. the Humu Humu Nuku Nuku Apua`a, the Yellow Tang, the Christmas Wrasse, sometimes a Moorish Idol.
I haven’t seen a Unicorn Fish on the reef, but have seen them at the Waikiki Aquarium. I also haven’t seen a Sexy Pink Heliconia Reef, but that didn’t stop me from imagining what it would look like surrounded by tropical fish.
Imagination is one of the gifts we all share and one that improves with use. What wonderful thing can you imagine today?"
