This is a collection of interesting flowers and plants I saw while in Hawaii. I’m not sure of the names of any these plants, but they do look good.

Several days into our trip, we hiked through the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Our half-day adventure took us down into the Kīlauea caldera. Many of these pictures are in and around the cladera.

Fissure

The only thing growing up through the lava bed was ferns and this pretty flowering bush called Ohia Lehua.

Smoking sulphur from the Halema’uma’u Crater.

Kīlauea Caldera.

Part of our hike took us around the rim of the caldera. During parts of the trail, we walked along this section of abandoned road. It was no longer in use because large sections of it had fallen into the volcano during eruption.
