A diverse group of plants live in Hawaii. Like the visitors and fauna, many are non-native. Regardless, they can still brighten a winter day. These plants were growing in the Old Airport park nature trail in Kona.
This plant is named the Seashell Devil's Backbone. It is in the genus Euphorbia and native to subtropical North America and Central America.
Bougainvillea are frequently used in landscape plantings here. They come in a variety of colors and are native to South America.
Plumeria (aka frangipani) is native to South America. Their flowers are fragrant, and the plants always amaze me when they bloom abundantly before their leaves come out.
Cacti were also blooming today. I think this is a prickly pear cactus, native to the Americas.
Aloha until next time.
