Each Island Has Its Own Flower

Although all of the islands of Hawaii are part of the same state, they all have their own quirks and personalities. And one of the biggest things that makes these islands different is the fact that each island has its own flower. On the Big Island, the lehua ohia flower was chosen to represent its distinct place in the world - and the red colors of this stunning flower have become a huge part of the island's culture.

Elsewhere, Oahu's flower is the Iliama flower, Hawaii's is the yellow hibiscus, Maui's is the Lokelani, Kauai's color is the makhana, Niihau's is the pupu shell, and Molokai is the kukui blossom.
