I just say they look similar to the Makopa flowers. Maybe the scientific name is just like what you posted from Hawaii, though i haven't seen them in the Big Island though. Or maybe that time i am not that curious yet.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413996043953201770.post-84611157197401810372010-07-23T10:54:36.257-10:002010-07-23T10:54:36.257-10:00Aloha, What a gorgeous bloom on your tree.
