Rainbow Shower Trees

We don't have trees that bloom spring flowers but we do have these.

yup these are rainbow shower trees. Their blooms range in color from white to deep pink to orange to yellow. Depending on the way the sun shines they look different. They're everywhere here in Honolulu. The Rainbow Shower Trees were specially hybridized by the University of Hawaii and since they don't produce any seeds they're pretty much only found here because they can only reproduce from cuttings or airlayering.

They would make quite a beautiful spot to hang out under. They're kind of hypnotic when the wind blows through, fluttering the multi-colored flower petals in the breeze.
