In the garden area at Iao Valley State Park was a beautiful white hibiscus plant. It took a while for the wind to die down enough to get this shot; in fact, the wind was perhaps the biggest problem I had getting photos of flowers in Maui. Everytime I got the camera out to take a flower shot, the wind seemed to pick up 🙁

The Hawaiian flowers we see on our trips are always spectacular, and this trip was no exception. On Oahu when we were there last year we saw a lot of red and yellow hibiscus plants, but on Maui there seemed to be many more variations in colour. Of course, the reds and yellows were there, but there were also white, pink and more complex red/yellow combinations.
