We enjoyed all the tropical flowers and vegetation that we saw during our visit to Hawaii, and dedicated this box to our favorite, the Plumeria. Its common name is Frangipani, and its fragrence is wonderful! The box is located at the Historic Park near Mauna Lani.

Take Highway 19 north and turn left on Mauna Lani Road, just north of mile marker 74 and follow signs to the historic park. Continue straight for approximately 1 mile and pass the Resort Security and Information booth. When you get to the round about, take the second right (which means you are actually continuing straight from where you began). Turn left on Pauoa Road and take the first right into the Historic Park (there is a shoreline access sign there as well).

Begin your quest on the paved path. Enjoy your walk across a lava field, passing some pretty impressive lava tubes. Put your back to “Home is Where the Hearth Is” and sight a tree at 300° which has a lot of lava rubble at its base. Your fragrant blossom is hidden on the north side of the tree. Watch out for the thorns!

You can turn back here, but for a really nice experience continue on the path, cross the golf course cart path, and find the fish ponds with the sign labeled Na Lolo l’a O Kalahuipua’a. We saw many fish jumping in these ponds along with lots of other animals. Walk around this trail – the sights are wonderful!
