Thursday Stuck in the Room again

So it was pouring rain again Thursday morning. We were supposed to go to a meeting for family members but the conference room was flooded. The meeting was cancelled and not rescheduled so any information for me I will have to find out on my own. Since Andy's was cancelled too he stayed with Aaron in the room and Kara and I walked around the inn and took pictures of all the flowers. If you know the names let me know and I will add them in.

The palm tree:


Nana has these copper plants but I can't remember their real name.

I think this was a bird of paradise, but it came out fuzzy.
I will try to get a better picture of it.


This is a statue on the grounds:


I think this is a giant heliconia:
I think this is a red ginger:

The yellow ones with black tips are called Parrot's Beak:



The plant was filled with water and closed at the end so it made a drinking cup.


In the afternoon we went to get the license plates for the cars. That took a while too. After you get plates you have to get the safety inspection again. Well, my highlander doesn't have brackets for the front plate. So Andy's car was done but mine wasn't. While they were looking at the highlander, we were waiting in the SAAB. Kara was playing up front and had the lights on which ran down the battery. So we had to jump the SAAB in the pouring rain. Good times. Then we went searching for brackets for the front of the highlander. It took us 3 places to find it, by then it was dinner time. So we picked up a pizza and called it a day. At least Aaron was feeling better so that's good.
We have seen these types of birds all over. They are really bright red.
