A fresh Hibiscus blossom unfolds at dawn in Ha’iku / Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image was taken in early morning natural light with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with no post processing Featured May 2009 The Woman Photographer This image is also offered as a Postage Stamp / and as a Magnet SOLD / 2x Laminated Print: Aloalo ~ Tropical Hibiscus / Medium / Black Border with Artist’s Details / It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days.

Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / 21 May 2009 This is to you, / heart of love’s soaring flight, / sky-colour of essence unfolding… Moments like these are timeless blessings of a silent union, / a union whose song is heard throughout the universe. / Oh Beloved! Dissolve any tendency to see another. / Only One in all this feeling and seeing, / hearing, breathing and being. / It is more precious than / any of us know, / this living / we have. I am / open / to be the love, / beauty and radiance / I have searched for in countless / eyes, sunsets, worlds. No sooner had I / given up, surrendered being here, than I heard / that song of Home resound through me, and your face / became the brightest light in the night sky. / This is just how it is. / Once unreachable peaks – now valleys, where we meet / the ones we already love. © 1997 poetry by Matisha ~ From The Beloved’s Gaze

Pua Aloalo or Ma`o-hau-hele (Hibiscus brackenridgei A. Gray) / Adopted as Hawai’i’s state flower on June 6, 1988. / The striking and beautiful yellow Hibiscus (hibiscus brackenridgei), known as the Pua Aloalo in the Hawaiian language, is the state flower of Hawai’i.

Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. This species is a true tropical hibiscus belonging to the Malvaceae, or mallow family. It is believed that there were originally only five species of Hibiscus native to Hawai’i. Later other varieties were imported and growers began to develop hybrids to produce the kaleidoscope of colours and sizes found today. In 1923 Hawai’i was still a territory, and the ilima was adopted as the state’s flower following its promotion by an organization called “The Outdoor Circle.” In 1950, when statehood was being anticipated by the Hawaiians, a resolution was introduced stating: “Hawai’i’s official flower shall be the ilima, the flower of olde royalty.” Many Hawaiians felt that the ilima should be the state’s flower because the famed ilima leis were always presented to dignitaries who came to Hawai’i. Two other exotic flowers, the Lehua and the Vanda, were also considered. However, when a vote was taken the ilima was chosen as the winner. Hawai’i officially became the fiftieth state of America in 1959. The realization that the ilima had never been changed from being Hawai’i’s territorial flower to her state flower didn’t surface until nearly thirty years later. To solve this problem, the legislature decided to legally adopt the flower that had for so long been considered official. Therefore on June 6, 1988, Hawai’i changed its state flower from the native red Hibiscus (Hibiscus kokio) to the Ma’ohauhele, the only species of yellow Hibiscus that can be called our state flower. Description: Ma’ohauhele is a shrub that grows up to 10 feet, with maplelike leaves and bright yellow flowers. It varies in appearance among islands but generally falls into two subspecies: H. brackenridgei subspecies brackenridge of Maui, Moloka’i, Lana’i and the Big Island, and H. brackenridgei subspecies Mokuleianus of O’ahu and Kaua’i. The most visible difference between the two subspecies is in the leaves and stems. The leaves of subspecies Mokuleianus have more serrated margins and pink veins with tiny spines on the branches. Subspecies Brackenridgei, on the other hand, has leaves with more rounded margins and yellow veins, and it lacks the tiny spines on its branches. The lovely Hibiscus does well in full sun to partial shade and needs very little water, although daily watering is good. It is a fast grower and will flower about twice a year. Each flowering period lasts up to two months, with blooms occurring daily on a flowering stalk that rises above the plant. Distribution: This is an endangered species found in the dry to mesic forests of all main islands except Ni’ihau (it was once reportedly collected from Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island). Official flowers and colours for each island are as follows: Hawai`i: Red Lehua (Ohia) / Maui: Lokelani – Pink Cottage Rose (Rosa damascena) / Moloka`i: White Kukui Blossom (Aleurites moluccana) / Kaho`olawe: Hinahina -Beach Heliotrope (Heliotropium anomalum, var. argenteum) / Lana`i: Kaunaoa -Yellow and Orange Air Plant (Cuscuta sandwichiana) / O`ahu: ilima (Sida fallax) / Kaua`i: Mokihana – Green Berry (Pelea anisata) / Ni`ihau: White Pupu Shell This is a variation, a hybrid and while it is yellow, this tropical Hibiscus is not the true native Hibiscus of Hawai’i. I have yet to see one here on Maui.

This lovely Hibiscus is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and is blooming in soft rain on Maui in midday natural light on Lower Nahiku landing. Hibiscus arnottianus A. Gray – / kokiʻo keʻokeʻo (“kokiʻo that is white like the shine of silver”) / is an endemic species of Hibiscus with white flowers. / Three subspecies are recognized: / H. arnottianus arnottianus found in the Waiʻanae Range of western Oʻahu; / H. a. immaculatus which is very rare (listed as endangered) on Molokaʻi; / and H. a. punaluuensis from the Koʻolau Range on Oʻahu. / Perhaps only a dozen plants of H. a. immaculatus exist in nature in mesic and wet forests. This species is closely related to H. waimeae, and the two are among the very few members of the genus with fragrant flowers. Sometimes planted as an ornamental or crossed with H. rosa-sinensis. In the Hawaiian language the white hibiscus is known as the Pua Aloalo. Alternative Botanical Names: / Hibiscus immaculatus / Hibiscus punaluuensis Common Names: / Koki’o ke’oke’o / Hau hele / Hawaiian White Hibiscus / Koki’o kea / Hawaiian White Hibiscus / Pamakani Hibiscus arnottianus is a shrub or small tree generally 15 to 20 feet in height though a few individuals will grow to 30 feet tall. These specimens can be up to 20 feet in diameter. Individual plants vary in appearance from open and airy to compact. The leaves are oval with a smooth upper surface and smooth or slightly toothed edges. The leaves are 4 to 6 inches long and often have red veins and stems. / The single white flowers are pinwheel shaped, up to 4 inches across, and borne at the ends of the branches. The staminal column is pink to red (except in subspecies immaculatus which has a white column). The flowers may be slightly pink or may age to pale pink, and are slightly fragrant. In cultivation, Hibiscus arnottianus blooms almost continuously. Three subspecies are recognized. Subspecies arnottianus from O’ahu has smooth leaves 1 1/2 to 4 inches long. Subspecies immaculatus is native to Moloka’i and has a white staminal column and leaves with rounded teeth. Subspecies punaluuensis is also native to O’ahu. It is robust with leaves 4 to 10 inches long. (Criley 1998; Criley 1999; Koob 1998; Rauch 1997; Wagner 1990) Hibiscus arnottianus is a Hawaiian endemic plant with one endangered subspecies. It is native to the moist and wet forests of the mountains of Moloka’i and O’ahu. Subspecies arnottianus grows at elevations of 390 to 2500 feet in the Wai’anae and eastern Ko’olau mountains of O’ahu. Subspecies immaculatus is extremely rare and grows in a few valleys on Moloka’i. Subspecies punaluuensis grows in the Ko’olau Mountains at elevations of 650 to 2200 feet. (Wagner 1990) Hibiscus arnottianus is easy to grow from fresh seed, but it hybridizes easily and the seedlings may differ from the parent plant. Hibiscus arnottianus grow easily from semi-hardwood cuttings. Cuttings 4 to 6 inches long and less than 1/2 inch in diameter should be made from healthy branches without flower buds. Hibiscus arnottianus can be air layered. Use standard air layer technique on a branch that is about 1 inch in diameter. Bornhorst recommends selecting a branch that is growing upright and making the air layer between 1 and 2 feet from the tip of the branch. / To start a plant by air layering, remove the bark and cambium from a 1 inch wide ring of bark. Apply a rooting hormone to the cut surface and cover this with a layer of damp sphagnum moss. Wrap the moss in plastic being sure to secure the ends where it wraps around the branch. The air layer should be ready to remove from the parent plant in 3 to 5 months. Bornhorst (1996) suggests that root systems from air-layered plants are not as vigorous as those produced by other techniques. (Bornhorst 1991; Bornhorst 1996; Koob 1998) Hibiscus arnottianus can easily be grafted. Use a rootstock of the common red, pink waterfall, double pink, or of the cultivar ‘Peachglow.’ Most grafting techniques will work. The scion (the piece of the desired plant that will be attached to the rootstock) should be 3 to 4 inches long with 2 to 4 nodes. Cut the scion from branches that are semi-mature; both tips and stem sections work well for scion wood. Bornhorst (1991) recommends either wedge or side wedge grafting techniques.
