Hawaiian Flower Names

There are numerous Hawaiian flowers of similar species occurring in varying shapes and wide range

of colors. The flower names given here will surely help you know more about the exotic and tropicalHawaiian flowers.

Hawaii is known for its flora and fauna, and is synonymous with beautiful, picturesque, exotic

flowers which are considered to be an integral part of Hawaiian culture. The locals welcome you

with the leis flower or a garland of orchid or plumeria, which indeed is a beautiful, touching, and

unforgettable gesture.

 A mild soothing fragrance and bright colors give Hawaiian flowers an aesthetic appeal and is one of 

the reasons why Hawaii is called a tropical paradise. The official state flower of Hawaii is not the

orchid or plumeria, as most of us would assume, but the yellow hibiscus, also known as the puaaloalo.

Let us take a look at some more exotic flowers along with their names that are native to the Islands

of Aloha.
