FLOWERS OF THE COOK ISLANDS




The flowers everywhere in the Cook Islands were so beautiful.  The women, to dress to go to a party or any kind of celebration, make coronets of flowers to put in their hair.  The hotels we stayed in had flower arrangements or just a single flowers in many different places.  The front office, often had elaborate arrangements of flowers.  We always had fresh picked flowers on our breakfast table.

This was the arrangement on our bed when we arrived at our hotel in Aitutaki.  They also had some flowers in the bathroom and kitchenette.  We were given leis when we arrived.

 Walking alone the road, the hedges were made of various flowers bushes


They even had colourful bugs!



These grew wild on Aitutaki
