| I think I can help grind it down further: What you currently have labeled "Brownea" is much more likely a Powderpuff (Calliandra haematocephala), based on the small leaves and clubbed young flower heads. The Angel's Trumpet botanical name would prolly be better listed as (Brugmansia x candida). botanical name on Oleander (Nerium oleander). The plumeria pic next to the bouganvillea is prolly (Plumeria rubra forma tricolor). The heliconia is the famous Lobster Claw (Heliconia rostrata). Next to the ixora you have it listed as a tillandsia, and I think someone above already mentioned it was a Ginger (Alpinia purpurata) probably. The small leaves of hte ixora lends me to say it's (Ixora 'Petite Red') Then, "h" is some type of Tillandsia. Spider lily botanical either of two possibilites: (Crinum amabile) or (Crinum augustum), safest is to do (Crinum sp.) I, too, think it's (Cordia sebestena)--if there is no hawaiian name for this exotic, it's known as Geiger Tree. the Blue-Daze is truly (Evolvulus glomeratus), Evolvulus pilosus is misapplied to this plant by nurseries and publications. The silver leaf aechmea looks to be the Silver Vase (Aechmea fasciata). Shell ginger's botanical is (Alpinia zerumbet). That last is definitely a Tabebuia, but the botanical u have is foreign to me, so I can't touch that one! Hope you can feed on whatever info you want for htat picturesque page! Finally, Cyanea, Here on the US Mainland, the standard definition for a native is "present at the time of European inflitration--circa 1500." So, I'm curious to see what/how Hawaii has defined native--if in the same manner or different parameters since the native peoples did seem to bring many plants from southeastern asia westward into Oceania. |
