Florists in Hawaii

Hawaii's state flower is the yellow hibiscus, pua aloalo, native to the islands. Each island also has its own flower, the lehua for Hawaii Island, the lokelani rose for Maui, the mokihana berry for Kauai, and those distinctions are taken seriously locally.

The islands have a flower culture no other state shares. Lei making is a living practice with its own etiquette, and many Hawaiian florists are lei specialists first. If you are ordering for a graduation, arrival or memorial, ask specifically about lei rather than a vase arrangement. Tropical material. Orchids, anthuriums, ginger, protea. Is local, fresh and reasonably priced, while temperate flowers like tulips are the expensive imports here.
