ohia lehua flower

The Hawaii flower of the Ohia tree — the Ohia Lehua — is a beautiful red flower that can be found all over the Hawaiian islands.

The Ohia (or ‘Ohi’a) is an evergreen shrub that commonly grows to become tall trees. The plant is capable of surviving, or even thriving in most of the widely diverse climate types found in the islands.

These pictures were taken one afternoon when I was down in Ka’u on the Big Island, about to head down South Point road.
