KOKO CRATER BOTANICAL GARDEN
The Koko Crater Botanical Garden was developed in 1958 to feature dry landscape plants with a focus on rare and endangered species. It is located on the east side of Oahu.
There are sections on Hawaiian plants, plants from Madagascar and a plumeria grove. At the time of this visit however there were few plumerias in bloom, but the bougainvilleas were very showy. (36 photos)
