The flowers remain on the King Kamehameha Statue for several days, but after the second day the flowers are in pretty bad shape and do not make for the best photos. On the second day the flowers are still in decent condition, but for the best results on your photos the first day is by far the best day to take a photo of the statue.

The only real problem for taking pictures is that the ceremony takes quite a while and you lose light pretty fast and to get the best results you want the mid day sun on the statue. This photo has about 20% of the total leis on or around the statue so in order to get the best shot with all the leis and flowers it is best to show up on the second day from about 11:00am to about 3:00pm. On the 3rd day the flowers are in pretty bad shape and they do not make for the best photo op.

If you happen to be in Hawaii at that time, it really is quite a beautiful display of flowers in my opinion worth the effort to check out. The display changes every year so even if you have been there before it looks pretty different on the few times I have gone to it.
