Plumeria of white, yellow, light pink and hot pink, dotted our urban landscape with its fragrant and color; which reminded me that Chris stopped by the shop the other day for a lei and we had a conversation on plumeria. He happened to be the photographer for a plumeria article in the Hana Hou! Magazine for Hawaiian Airlines.

Shower trees are blooming to the max around town. Soft petals of pink, white and yellow float and drift in the air with a light summer breeze. You would easily mistaken these as cherry blossoms. The most dramatic view of these shower trees are at South King Street where they color the avenue with their blossoms on each side of the street. People also noticed another dramatic cluster at the KCC’s main parking lot. Bring your picnic basket and beach mat to Kapiolani Park. Enjoy the shower.

Two parades back to back during the last two weekends in Waikiki.  The Pan-Pacific Parade and the King Kamehameha Parade. People are all gaga over the floral display and the many performers.

^ These performers walk the whole way in wooden slippers.
