"Plumeria tropical flowers are the most common here in Hawaii. Also known as Frangipani they blossom on trees practically year round."
One of the things I love about Hawaii is the flowers. I've always been enchanted by the beautiful colors they possess.
Yellow Plumeria seem to be the most common flower used to make leis. The red Plumeria in this photo is so vibrant. This picture has not been manipulated in any way. This white Plumeria and the pink one above were both shot on Nappapo Rd.
This yellow hibiscus photo was taken in our yard. We have lots of pink and yellow hibiscus in our yard. The yellow hibiscus is the Hawaii state flower.
You can buy Anthurium at the local farmers market just like these. Mix them with a couple birds of paradise and you have this.
Or if you don't live here and you're into orchids or anthuriums...Aliiflowers.com has a monthly flowers club that you can belong to and have fresh Hawaiian tropical flowers delivered to you each month.
Just look at the left side navagation menu on their site to see what I'm talking about. These folks specialize in orchids and anthuriums.
They're located over on the other side of the big island where the majority of rainforest is located.
I'm looking for a good Plumeria tropical flower vendor, when I locate them I'll post it here.
I've retired the former homepage plumeria photo to this page for the time being, I think it looks good here don't you? This photo was taken by Joe Solem Photography.
