Can you find the gecko?

Had the luck to meet bromeliad hybridizer Dennis Heckart at the Maku'u Market near Pahoa, Hawaii. He was so generous and kind enough to allow a garden visit. I only had my phone for a camera, but what a place.

A couple of neon photos -- can you find the geckos?

Dennis with a favorite bromeliad which produces a shocking-pink inflorescence. Not yet released commercially.

Nice florescent blue eyes

My husband and I are liking these plants more and more. The gecko is cute too!

If the broms from last year's PT fundraiser have made it, I'll take photos in a couple of weeks.

I also see the gecko in the first photo, green and white, a little harder to spot than the peering eyes in the second that has been pointed out.

Nice broms and nice geckos, which look like the genus Phelsuma. I heard that day geckos are naturalized to Hawaii, but I didn't know if they were localized to one island or throughout the archipelago.

Yup, there is a gecko in each of the first two photos. The first one is the hardest to find, though he is in plain sight, he blends into the inflorescence. I don't know where they are from originally, but I get a real kick out of watching them.
