Welcome to the Beautiful Flowers of Hawaii

Hawaii is a paradise for tropical plants and flowers. With many botanical gardens and the greenest vegetation around. I'll share many of my flower and plant photos that I was recently able to take when I travelled to Maui and Kauai Islands. Kauai is known as the 'Garden Island' and this is where I was able to see many gorgeous flowers and blossoms. If you love nature and gardens and all types of flowers you'll enjoy viewing this site.

The Hibiscus is the Flower for the State of Hawaii

The yellow hibiscus which is native to the Hawaiian Islands was chosen to represent Hawaii as the state flower in 1988. This plant blooms almost everyday with these beautiful ornamental flowers. They come in many varieties and colours.

Morning Glory flowers are actually vines which are great for decorating fences, trellis' and walls. Morning Glory flowers are funnel shaped blossoms that grow in colours of red, white, purple,blue, yellow and varying shades. Thus the name the flowers open in the morning hours. Very pretty! Notice the bee I captured on the morning glory above.

Flowers, plants, even a rooster...


Roosters and chickens are strangely everywhere in Kauai, Hawaii. We saw them on the beach, on mountains, at the grocery store. Very funny!


These colorful flowers are called 'Bougainvilleas' they make beautiful hedges, often lining driveways and Hotels in Hawaii.
