A visit to Frankie's Nursery


Made a trip to Frankie's Nursery to do some "grocery shopping" for an upcoming early locavore Thanksgiving feast. Whereas most markets frown upon grazing, our fingers quickly get sticky from sampling all the fruits, like the rambutan above.


I love shopping in Chinatown, but sometimes the parking and the crowds chafe on my nerves. At Frankie's, backed against the Ko'olau mountains, it's a totally different, serene experience (that is, after applying insect repellent).

I'm usually not interested in ornamental plants...if I can't eat it, I don't care about it, but these pineapples, about the size of my thumb, are too adorable:


These are also ornamental, but I couldn't resist capturing the colors:
