Hawaii State Flowers

Hawaii is known for its natural beauty. It's no wonder that so many people choose to take their vacations in this paradise. This great atmosphere is owed, at least in part, to the many beautiful species of tropical flowers native to Hawaii. These exotic blooms are an instantly recognizable Hawaiian symbol, and have made their way into decor, weddings, and even tattoos.
On Hawaii, a lei is a wreath of flowers given as a gift at many celebrations and other occasions. You may even receive one upon your arrival to Hawaii, or at a luau, if you attend one. The flower most often seen in a lei is the plumeria, known for its delicate pink or white star-shaped blossom. Another flower that you may notice in leis is a lehua blossom, recognizable for its bright flowers and soft, needle-like petals. The lehua is the official bloom of the Big Island.
