Rainbow Shower Trees - Nature's Fireworks


Over the summer months, like an explosion of fireworks, the Rainbow Shower trees on Maui show off there plumage with in an exciting array of vibrant warm colors. As the flowers age, the colors intensify and eventually shed to earth. Depending on the weather conditions, the blossoms can last until early October.

I stopped and took this photo in July during one of my frequent drives along Baldwin Avenue between the towns of Pa'ia to Makawao. This road is a scenic drive year round. At this time of year, it is twice the pleasure with the shower trees in full bloom.
