Where to get aquatic plant soil?
Where is the best place to get aquatic soil for water lilies and lotus in Honolulu? And if I want to create the mixture myself, where is the best place to get the ingredients?

Question about the yellow one
So, clearly that little guy appears to be close to ripeness. My concern is that it was not months ahead of the rest of them and is pretty small comparatively. Is that thing ACTUALLY almost ripe. Or is it just an outlier and should be discarded?

10 months for shiitake's to grow on some ironwood (zone 12a). Now I know what I am going to do with the trees that fall in the storms.

Need help with ID
Does anyone know what the name of this flower is and where I can get it? I've used Google ID and came up with a bunch of names, but none matched what I'm looking for. I've seen this on people's sidewalks and wanted to get for my house.

Only Afternoon Sun
Hi all! I recently moved to Hickam Field on Oahu and I believe that is zone 11. I love to grow vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, but the issue I’m running into is that my home only ever receives direct sunlight in the afternoons. What suggestions do you have? Should I use a shade cloth? I bought some tomatoes plants from the nursery and I believe that the sun is too harsh (some leaves are burned a bit and they tend to get very droopy no matter how much I water them in the mornings). Should I use a shade cloth? To note, they are not yet in garden beds that I plan on using that are raised. They are currently only in pots.

Question about garden supplies (Oahu)
I'm a recent owner of Pink Princess and I'm looking for small bags of coco coir, perlite, and a moss/coco coir stand for the plant to climb on. I've checked Lowe's and Home Depot but they don't have any in stock. I know these can be bought online but preferably I'd like to get them soon for a repot. From my google search I see a place called I & J LLC but the google images only show a neighborhood so I'm unsure... Any suggestions? I'm new to this all.
