Orange Orchids
One of the many wonderful orchid clusters at the last Kunia Orchid Show in the Del Monte Pineapple workers camp. Since Del Monte has decided to close their Hawaiian Pineapple plantation, so goes the company town of Kunia that at one time had supported it.
Ahh the end of an era. Celebrated with a burst of floral color.
