African Tulip Tree

Extravagant in every way, the African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata) is known throughout the world as one of the most beautiful of all flowering trees. This image was taken while I was on the Road to Hana on the island of Maui! These trees grow wild along the curvy road that leads tourist to the lovely town of Hana on the far eastern end of the Maui island. The flora of these extraordinary trees act like neon lights mixed in with all the jungle like tropical plant life traveling the Road to Hana! Take your time driving on this road as it curves back and forward on this almost 3 hour drive, but the scenery is to die for, and the northern shore waves break along this side of the Northshore of Maui. This is a trip you don't want to miss, its a chance of a lifetime to see this rainforest with all its colors and beautiful waterfalls all long the way. And enjoy the 300+ 180 degree curves on the road and the single lane bridges, its all part of a fabulous adventure!
