Here's a photo of some Hawaiian Poinsettias in South Kona. You're probably used to seeing these in a little pot growing about 1 or 2 feet tall, however, here in Hawaii they grow to be TREES! This one is on a bank and is about 10 feet tall. The flowers are about 12-15 inches across! That's a palm growing next to it, and it was taller than me! The Poinsettias bloom here every year starting around mid-November and going until late January, with no special attention. When I first came here I had to stop my car, get out and touch one to make sure it was real! Truely AMAZING!
