Hawaiian Flowers

Step into the lush world of Hawaii’s gardens and let the pages guide you through a living gallery of color and scent. This handy reference shows you how to match a blossom you spot on a park promenade or hotel lawn with a clear, illustrated entry, making identification as easy as a casual stroll. While the pictures are rendered with scientific care, the text stays friendly enough for anyone with a passing curiosity about hibiscus, bougainvillea, and the many hidden gems that line the islands’ pathways.

The book walks you through several well‑known sites—from the historic royal hotel grounds, where century‑old palms shade a rainbow of tropical foliage, to the vibrant bougainvillea draped over a monkey‑pod tree. Each plant is accompanied by a concise description, hints on where you’re most likely to see it, and suggestions for deeper reading if you want to dig into botany. Whether you’re planning a short visit or simply dreaming of island breezes, the guide offers a peaceful escape and a solid foundation for a new hobby of flower spotting.
