Hawai'i

The plumeria, despite its strong association with Hawaiian culture, is not native to the islands. It was introduced in the 19th century, quickly finding a place in the hearts of the locals. The flower's adaptability to the tropical climate and its striking beauty made it a natural choice for integration into local customs.

Today, the cultural history of the Hawaiian Islands lives on in the music, dance, language, and traditions of the Hawaiian people. The spirit of aloha, with its emphasis on love, respect, and harmony, continues to shape the lives of those who call Hawaii home and those who visit its shores.
