Saturday Snapshot – August 6

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky below. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

This week I’m posting the second half of the flower photos from our June trip to Hawaii. Once again I have to admit that I don’t know the flower names, so feel free to chime in with those you recognize.

    Australians would call the top two frangipanis. Not sure if that would be the world wide term. They’re one of my favourite flowers. In Singapore they had bright fuschia frangipani that were just astonishing.

    Kalachuchi for the top two pics and yeah, frangipanis they’re also called as well. Beautiful blooms. Seriously, the last one, looks succulent. Lolz. I don’t know the rest of though, they could be red ginger but I could be wrong. Lovely place Hawaii!

  7. Paulita says:

    The second picture is my favorite. I love when flowers incorporate other colors, like the yellow and pink together. They’re such good decorators.

  8. trish says:

    They’re all so lush! I like the one at the top with the petals that look like cake decorations.

  10. I love the yellow in that first picture. The leaves look almost rubbery. Gorgeous!

  11. kaye says:

    The third one looks like Hawaiian Ti. These can be grown in Fl but need to be in a protected spot. Beautiful flowers!

    These are beautiful! I do love the ‘accidental’ theme of flowers that seems to have attached itself to your Saturday Snapshot meme. :)
    This week, I have not shared flowers, I had a ‘too cute to miss’ photo.
    Have a good week, Alyce.

    More great pictures! This made me sigh -as it is pouring rain and very grey here in the UK. It also made me think of my trip to Hawaii – where my husband proposed. Such a gorgeous place. *sigh*

  14. Sandy says:

    I love the ones in the first picture, the yellow ones. They look edible!

  15. A trip to the zoo. Small animals like small children.

  16. Gorgeous flowers! It doesn’t even matter if one knows what they are in order to appreciate them, which is good…since I don’t know what they are either!

    Thanks for sharing….

  17. The flowers are gorgeous! The petals on the top one look so thick, it almost looks fake.

  18. Wow, those are gorgeous Alyce!

  19. Good gracious, these pictures are incredible. The colors are so vibrant. I’ve never been to Hawaii…starting to think I need to make some travel plans…

  20. Wanda says:

    Fabulous flowers! The yellow ones in the first pic almost appear to be sculpted from wax — I love the angle with the sky and greenery framing these little beauties.

  21. Very lush – very different from the view of rain that we have today!

  25. All of these are just gorgeous Alyce, but the first on is BREATHTAKING!

  26. I’m with all the others on Team Yellow! :–)

  27. Amy says:

    These flowers are amazing & beautiful. They’re so unusual & perfect, too, they almost look fake! I love the last photo of the red round one that looks like it’s hiding something inside and has an orange antenna, it’s fantastic. They should post signs with the names of the flowers nearby

  28. irene says:
