Water feature in Kihei looks like Haiku Maui When viewing some Kihei homes for sale last month, I snapped this picture of a beautiful water feature in the back yard.  I thought it was very tropical looking and it reminded me a lot of Haiku Maui where I live.  If you have a home on the dry side of Maui, like Kihei and Wailea, you strive to make it look tropical and exotic, which requires a lot of water.   At least in Haiku we don't have to go to such lengths to create a pleasant corner of the garden.  These water loving plants will grow quite naturally in Haiku without any irrigation, which makes for a more sustainable lifestyle.  The sound of trickling water is soothing and can help to drown out other unwanted noises.   Whether you want lush and green, or hot and sandy, you can find it ... 05/09/2011
