Purple Honohono Orchids

Description
Honohono orchids are beloved in Hawai'i. In Hilo, where I live, in the early summer you see masses of flowers in many yards. This orchid can be easily encouraged to grow on the trunks of trees and produces many stems of flowers that hang like a beautiful waterfall of color. The Honohono can be purple, as in this image, white or white with a purple throat. The flowers are highly fragrant, the scent most intense in the evening. Honohono in Hawaiian refers to the plants' growth habit of alternating leaves. This orchid is native to Southeast Asia and can be found wild from Sri Lanka to New Guinea, Indochina, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Gorgeous image, Heidi! I love your photography, I will be visiting your site often, I see we are attracted by many of the same subjects, but you're a much better photographer than I am.

My favorite orchid! I actually had a couple of these when I lived on Maui. This sure brings back a lot of memories. The fragrance is utterly delightful. This is a lovely and beautiful image. Featured in Hawaiiana. Aloha plenty!! L/F
