THis is a garden Tiki sold by some purveyor in Hawaii, where they are very popular. They are way cool in the garden and some artists deal in wood, metal, clay, you name it! For those not in the know, a "Tiki" is a Polynesian thang, something you can still see in the architecture down here on South Padre Island.
Speaking of the Tikis, we're sponsoring another "Lighting of the Tiki Torch" on May 20th down here ... probably ending at the Palm Street Pier about 8:00 after a kayak ride down the bayside. Come on down, it is sure to be a blast!

If everyone has planned correctly, their plumarias should be in full bloom now and ready to be plucked for Lei Making for the Annual Lighting of the Tiki Torches. Alas, what should one do if one does not have these traditional flowers on hand. Do you think periwinkles would work? Oleanders probably NOT a good idea since they are poisonous and they might accidentally touch your lips as you put them over your head. One flower we do have an abundance of is hibiscus for behind the ear. Left means something and right means something else -- something to do with being married or not. One can also make leis (is that the correct spelling?) out of leaves and sea beans and shells. So start stringing!
