For those who love flowers, Hawaii has quite a variety of lovely ones. We took a 4 mile loop through quite a lot of flora and fauna with some waterfalls mixed in-very lovely. So here are a few pictures (not in any particular order).Above is called the Tulip Tree. I've seen three different colors of flowers-red-orange, yellow, and a light orange-very bright colors.
Here is the red-orange flower from the Tulip tree.
A waterfall coming out of a lava tube. The white across the picture is a white fence.
I have no clue what the above 2 plants are. Some agribusiness was growing them. If anyone recognizes them, please let me know.
Both of the above pictures reminded me of beads.
Akaka Falls-we made an unplanned stop at the Akaka Falls state park. There is a 10 minute loop you walk to see 2 falls-Kahuna (not worth it) and Akaka (a little more worth it). We were surrounded by jungle, it was hot, and raining. We knew we were in trouble when we saw all the stairs going down because we knew we were going to have to come back up. Dad used to tell me that we would have no problem competing in the Amazing Race but after this escapade, I know we would not be one of the top three.
A huge bamboo plant in the middle of the Akaka falls park.
The above 2 flowers are from the park.
This flower doesn't look like much but it had a wonderful fragrance-I wish we had smellavision.
This was to just contrast between the desert vegetation and the rain forest variety. Still pretty.
