Description
I took this photo in a parking lot outside our only drugstore here on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. The Rainbow Shower Tree is a gorgeous tree having many huge clusters of flowers of various colors. There are several different varieties of the shower tree, each having different colors of flowers. There are varieties having clusters of yellow, pink, or white flowers. It is a medium to large size tree, up to 40 ft., seen in well maintained parks and streets in Hawaii. The tree is very drought tolerant and grows best in full sun, with hot, and dry conditions. The rainbow shower tree is a sterile hybrid. Propagation is by hybridization, grafting.

What a gorgeous tree!
James Temple replied:
Hey Pat! All of these trees love warm dry weather and the month of July is when they really show off. All of these trees grow all over Molokai along the ocean edge.
