Hawaii is known for its flora and fauna, and is synonymous with beautiful, picturesque, exotic flowers which are considered to be an integral part of Hawaiian culture. The locals welcome you with the leis flower or a garland of orchid or plumeria, which indeed is a beautiful, touching, and unforgettable gesture.

A mild soothing fragrance and bright colors give Hawaiian flowers an aesthetic appeal and is one of the reasons why Hawaii is called a tropical paradise.
