Yellow Hibiscus Hawaii T-Shirt

A bright sun-disc of petals around a long golden column — the yellow hibiscus is Hawai'i's state flower, and one of its rarer ones.

The Story Behind the Yellow Hibiscus

Hibiscus brackenridgei, known in Hawaiian as ma'o hau hele ("traveling green hau"), was designated Hawai'i's state flower in 1988 — the only one of the seven native Hawaiian hibiscus species chosen for the honor. Unlike the more common ornamental hibiscus from elsewhere in the tropics, ma'o hau hele is endemic to Hawai'i and now considered endangered, surviving in small dry-forest pockets on Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i, Lāna'i, Maui, and Hawai'i Island. Restoration efforts have started bringing it back, one outplanting at a time.

For Flower Lovers & Island People

For locals, it's a quiet point of state pride — the native flower under the more famous red. For visitors, it's the deeper Hawai'i — the one most people don't know to look for, now worn close.
