@aaryesdee , you’re welcome. Happy you enjoyed reading my Connect post.
To answer your question, the first blossom is an azalea. The second I believe is a daliha. Are these flowers close to wear you live? They are beautiful.
Cheers,
Karen

@FaridTDF , muchas gracias for your compliments.
Easter Island is high on my Bucket List to visit. Are there people actually living on that island?
I can tell you the white yellow flower you have shown in your photo collage is called “plumeria.” Very fragrant and grown all over Hawaii as ornamental trees. The flowers are used for leis and to wear behind a lady’s ear. There is a pink flower version too. During winter, the tree drops all its leaves. Looks like a naked bunch of long sticks.
Flying to Hawaii from SFO /OAK in September or October is considered “low season.” Weather is perfect then. Not so many tourists. Flights and hotels are cheaper than Summer (family vacations) and winter (warmer than US and Canada).
With the time time zone differences from the West Coast, flights from SFO / OAK are early morning. You will
arrive in time for lunch on the beach.
You and @ErmesT should keep this in mind for this year. = )
Cheers,
Karen

@Christina-NYC , you’re welcome! And I take your compliment truly as a compliment.
I love Maui. It’s the perfect blend of being active, chilling, eating, and enjoying the outdoors.
You should visit Kauai or the Big Island next. Nature Photography is amazing. The lighting is magical. Both are much more rustic and laid back.

@MdEmranulHoque , thanks! Do you have similar flowers? Where I live I could not grow any of these outdoors. They would not survive the frost, temperatures going down to 0C.

@AdrianLunsong , from SFO / OAK, fly out in early morning. Be eating lunch on the beach before noon wearing shorts and a aloha shirt
Not crowded during October or November either. Think about it.
Cheers,

It will be nothing like you have experienced prior and afterwards say why we did not do this sooner! = )

La isla de pascuas tiene dos tipos de poblaciones que son los Rapanui que son de origen polinesio lo mismo que los hawaianos, luego están los pobladores Chilenos que son muy deferentes, tener en cuenta que la Isla de Pascuas pertenece a Chile @KarenVChin ,
Hawai es un lugar que deseo visitar y tu sugerencia es muy interesante, será cuestión de planificarlo, ya veremos

Absolutely beautiful, detailed photos of the floral environment on your trip, @KarenVChin - I really do wish I could smell them through my screen!
I agree with @brittym & @ErmesT - definitely a bucket list experience that I hope I’ll do one day.
In terms of the flowers you weren’t sure about, I did the Google Geek thing and whipped out Google Lens haha. Although, I think it may have been as unsure as I was hehe

Thanks for the incredible show and teach!
