The Pink Lokelani or Rosa damascene is the official flower that represents the island of Maui. It is also known as the Pink Cottage Rose brought to the islands during the 1800s. Pink Cottage Rose is popular among many gardeners for its extraordinary beauty and fragrance. The Pink Lokelani or the Pink Cottage Rose is the only non-native flower in Hawaii recognized as the official flower of one of its islands.

Kauai’s official flower which is the Mokihana or Pelea anisata is not a flower at all. It is a plant that grows green berry which can only be found on the slopes of the famous Mount Waialua. Mokihana berries are usually woven with maile strands, stringing them like beads. The hardy-green berry of Kauai gives out the sweet smell of anise.

The designated official flower for the islands of Molokai is the Aleurites moluccana otherwise known for its more common name as the White Kukui Blossoms. The tiny white flowers of the White Kukui Blossoms are also popularly used by lei makers of the island.

Nihau’s official flower is found among the rocky shoreline of the island, the White Pupu Shell. The ‘yellow and orange air plant’ or Kaunaoa is the designated official flower for the Lanai islands. The orange strands of the flowers are twisted together by lei makers to form beautiful leis.

Even the uninhibited island of Kahoolaw has the ‘Hinahina’ or Heliotropium anomalum as its own official flower. It is a plant with silver-gray colors and the stems and flowers of it are popularly used to make leis as well.

You can also find Birds of Paradise in Hawaii. The plant is not indigenous to the island; it is known to have originated from the regions of South Africa. The orange and blue colors of the flower resembling an exotic bird which is about to take flight gave the Birds of Paradise its name.

Plumeria is also one of the many flowers that are found growing wild in Hawaii. These beautiful flowers are usually used to make exotic looking leis. They come in colorful shades of pink, yellow and white. These flowers are also popularly used to decorate special occasions held on the islands such as wedding ceremonies. With its beautiful bright-colored blossoms, Plumeria is quite one of the most popular choices of floral wedding decorations.

One of the great things about growing anthuriums is that they can grow in a very wide range of soils, from the sandy to heavier clay soils, although clay is still not the best environment for your anthuriums, and to ensure the best growth, lean toward soils with less clay. When anthuriums are planted, they have to be staked so that the plant has plenty of support when it starts to grow. Anthuriums require soil with excellent drainage, otherwise the roots will rot, as will the stems. Anthuriums do especially well in soils that are highly organic, such as being composed of mulched, semi-rotted wood, and coconut husks. Anthuriums also require a lot of light, although not direct sunlight, and removing dead leaves are a must for plant health. The anthurium is also not a plant that handle drought well, but it is also important not to over-water the plant. In the winter, anthuriums require a short period of rest at a temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius, with much less water. This

Another famous crop in Hawaii is the macadamia nut. This tree was originally from Australia but it was brought to the islands in 1882. It is now considered as among the most popular produce to emerge from the Hawaiian Islands. Nowadays, the state provides around 90% of the macadamia nuts throughout the world via Hawaii’s 700 farms as well as 8 processing plants. Visitors would surely be able to discover all sorts of macadamia nut products during their Hawaiian holiday.

 The pineapple immediately became one of Hawaii’s biggest and the most profitable produce after it was introduced to the islands in 1813. Back in the 1960s, the state was responsible for growing 80% of the pineapples supplied all over the globe. At present, pineapples are still grown in the Hawaiian Islands, but times have drastically changed. The state is no longer a lucrative site to cultivate and process pine because there are plenty of cheaper locations to do so. At this time, the Hawaiian Islands only grow around 2% of the world’s pineapples.

 It was during the 1930s when coffee turned into a commercial crop in the Hawaiian Islands. These days, the state is home to around 715 fairly small coffee farms. Hawaii is the one and only United States supplier of coffee throughout the globe.

 Travelers would definitely be able to sample some of these crops when they visit Hawaii. While on a holiday, guests should try to stop by at plantations to learn how the crops are grown and processed in Hawaii. It would not only be enlightening, but it would also be a rich experience to savor while on vacation in this tropical haven. more at http://www.flowerhawaii.com/blogs.htm
