Description

Enjoy a floral journey of the Islands, savoring Hawaii’s brilliant tropical tapestry of colorful flowers and exotic tropicals. Noted Island photographer Douglas Peebles offers the best of his floral photography ranging from native species to introduced varieties—from flowers adorning home gardens to those found only in remote, inaccessible places.

Botanist Leland Miyashiro describes the origin, use, and diversity of each flower. Through the combined effort of Peebles’ photography and Miyano’s words, the wonder of Hawaii’s foliage and flora splashes alive.
