This is the flower of the Monkey Pod tree. These grandiose, majestic trees have been been a favorite ornamental tree in Hawaii for over a century and are know for their natural umbrella shape and innumerable pink, powder-puff blossoms. It's not uncommon to see the specimens foliage spreading out over a space of 150 feet across, providing some much desirable shade in the many public parks throughout the islands.
