I saw this Golden Shower tree (Cassia fistula) on the way to go swimming at Mauna Lani and, afterwards, went back to take photos. The mass of yellow flowers is typical for the tree. This species was crossed with the Pink and White Shower tree to produce the Rainbow Shower Tree.

’Ilima flowers (Sida fallax) are native to Hawaii as well as other Pacific islands and China. In Hawaii the flowers are used in leis and highly regarded in Hawaiian culture. Butterflies like them a lot too.
