Yellow Flower

Photograph by Hawaii Picture of the Day

This yellow flower, found in Hawaii’s Tropical Botanical Garden on the Big Island is a gorgeous example of Hawaii’s floral abundance.

With long flanges for the blossom head, this flower stands out from the crowd.

Updated: Thanks to Leslie Vary who identified this flower as a justicia aurea, also called the yellow plume flower.
