Description
The first time I remember seeing a Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) was on Maui Island, Hawaii when my wife, Debbie, and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We were driving the famous Road to Hana, stopping along the way at each of the designated points-of-interest. One such stop was the Ke'anae Arboretum where we followed a walking path past these unusual-looking trees.
The bark on these trees looks as if it has been peeled away, exposing a smooth, colorful cambium that possesses a somewhat luminous/iridescent quality. Varying hues of greens, oranges and multi-colored-grays give this tree its "rainbow" look and namesake.
Filtered sunlight finds its way through this forest and delicately touches portions of these trees with softened highlights. Conversely, in shade these trees appear to illuminate themselves.
If you peer deeper into these woods, you'll also find a pair of brightly colored, red-orange, Hawaiian Honeycreepers that appear to be enjoying the sweet nectar of their native surroundings.
