Rainbow Shower
“Pua hōʻike anuenue” — Honolulu's own tree
The rainbow shower is the official tree of Honolulu, a hybrid that blooms in long hanging clusters of pink, cream and yellow all at once.
It flowers hardest in the hottest months, when the branches disappear under blossoms and the sidewalks below turn into confetti.
Every tree is slightly different, since each hybrid leans its own way. No two streets bloom the same color.
