Hawaii’s state flower is the yellow hibiscus. The large flowers are four to six inches in diameter and often have a maroon-colored center. The flowers seem to open and close at certain times each day. Bright, cheery and oh so photogenic, it’s worth taking a moment to stop and smell the flowers when you stumble upon yellow hibiscus in Hawaii.
I brought a slip back from my trip to Kauai and just planted it. We’ll see if I can make Hawaii come alive in Minnesota!
Please keep me posted! We could use some cheery, tropical flowers in Minnesota after our winter and this chilly spring.
