Third on our list of island flowers is the fetching PINK rose or pua lokelani (pronounced  poo-wah low-kay-lah-nee), which represents the island of Maui (pronounced  mao-wee).  Its delicious scent and petals are heavenly…..hence, the word “lokelani” is exactly what it is…..the pink heavenly rose. What more can I say…..

Stay tuned for more island flowers tomorrow...

A hui hou,
