Hawaiian Flowers Around Your Neck
When you arrive in Hawaii, you're greeted with a lei of Hawaiian flowers around your neck. When you look out of your hotel window, you gaze upon rows and rows of bright, beautiful flowers. Anyone who's been to Hawaii can tell you that there were few things more beautiful in the tropical paradise than the unique, tropical Hawaiian flowers that permeate the landscape. Hawaiian flowers are so synonymous with Hawaiian lifestyle that the Hawaiians decided to give leis full of native Hawaiian flowers to tourists as a welcome and to promote their culture beginning in the 19th century. Hawaiian jewelry pieces have long sported charms and jewels in the shape of Hawaiian flowers to reflect the Hawaiian culture and beauty. Hawaiian flowers, like most tropical flowers, tend to be in bright, vibrant colors. Some of the most famous Hawaiian flowers are the plumeria flower, which is a yellow and white or pink five-petal flower often used in leis; the bird of paradise flower, a pointed orange and blue flower whose bloom can resemble a tropical bird at a quick glance; and the gold orchid, which is also often used in leis. Other Hawaiian flowers include the protea flower, a unique "transforming" flower in various bright colors that can appear as a tightly-wound ball or spread its petals out in various layers; the heliconia flower, an oblong-petal flower in bright colors like orange and pink; and the ginger flower, a tall, pinecone-shaped bloom in oranges and reds. While not technically Hawaiian flowers, lava plants are popular examples of flora that perfectly capture your Hawaiian memories. Lava plant seeds are taken from the lava stone on the Big Island of Hawaii and with their bright red tips share similar beauty to traditional Hawaiian flowers. Hawaiian flowers are in the leis and hair of hula dancers and Hawaiian performers and are represented in the floral prints that dominate the Hawaiian style. Hawaiian weddings have a rich tradition of using jasmine or pikake flowers in leis and bouquets. Native Hawaiians use leis to brighten the celebrations of birthdays, graduations, and special occasions. When you think of Hawaii, you have to think of Hawaiian flowers.
