    Second post of many ... last February, we visited both Oahu and The Big Island and I took so many photos, including so many plants which were growing wild - without name tags.

    Both the red flowered trees and yellow flowered trees were found in Honolulu, close to sea level. I initially thought the red flowered tree was an African Tulip Tree but it is not; the flowers and leaves are quite different.

    Anyone out there familiar with Hawaii flowers?

    2 could also be Tecoma sp, but I think SS might be right, since it has no leaves on it at the moment....

    I checked my hi res photos up close .. I'm pretty sure you're right, re
    1. Looks like Delonix regia and
    2. Looks like Tabebuia sp.


    I saw both species in several locations, but there was never a name tag to be found.
