Plumeria rubra 'Maui Beauty'
(ploo-MEER-ee-a)
The aptly named ‘Maui Beauty’ from the Plumeria Grove at the Koko Crater Botanical Gardens on Oahu. Many of the Plumeria trees were dormant but there were a few that had some blooms.
We are off to the airport to catch a flight to The Valley Isle (Maui) so I thought this flower’s name was appropriate.

That's gorgeous! Have you taken the color out of the background via digital editing, or was it a happy accident (and a good eye) in terms of siting of this particular bloom?

Hi Kim,
Kind of a lucky shot to get the background like that. It was late afternoon so the light was right. I didn't do much editing except boost the contrast a little.

Gorgeous shot - the scent of this flower is heavenly.
