Flowers and other Flora

Here are a couple of trilliums I found during my Sunday walk in the woods. While I know they are common, They are may favorite Spring wildflower.

Well, I have never seen them in live but I like them (my favorite spring flower is different and long way away from me right now!). Very nice photos!
Here are some from my weekend: first two are endemic for the islands (sorry for the first shot but as my daughter use to say - "flower without insect is boring flower" ;D!).

Thanks! Unfortunately I can't post the fragrance of the plumeria...
The one on the first photo (Naio - False Sandal Wood) is suppose to be fragrant too but I didn't notice (probably to busy taking pictures :) )!

Beautiful shots!
Hope to smell them in person. Just hours away, ;D

Riley, you will - Plumeria is everywhere here! The best place is still the Koko crater botanical garden (it's where I was Saturday), they have entire groove there (something like 150-250x50 meters, only Plumeria!). Also - I noticed the Red-tailed Tropicbirds flying high at the clifs of the crater. Totally forget that it's their time for breeding and they are back on the island. Best place for taking photos of them in fly is next to the crater - Halona blow hole, they use to fly there low and regularly...
