The polar vortex might have reared its frigid head again this week, but things have been downright tropical on Gardenista. Some members of our team have been sniffing hibiscus flowers and stringing Hawaiian leis, while others of us have been satisfied admiring much warmer gardens and beach hotels from the relative comfort of our space-heater-surrounded desks.
Here's a collection of this week's links, inspired by the tropical garden:
