It’s Valentines Day…why not talk about the Flowers and Fauna of Paradise…There are so many Local and brought in species that it’s hard to keep track…some invasive, some nessesary for Hawaii to survive. When you think of Hawaii and the Flowers and Fauna many come to mind…Plumeria, coconut, Banana, Taro, Koa, Birds of Pardise, Kukui, Ginger, Naupaka, Aloe, Banyan, Monkey Pods, Tea, Kiawi, Awa (kava kava) Lilikoi, Hibiscus, Eucalyptus (Rainbow Trees) and many, many more…Hawaii is a special place and many of the species of the world exist here as well as the indigenous ones who only call Hawaii home…The smells, the colors and the beauty of the beings that give us food and air are essential to not only sustain Hawaii, but our species…and it’s one more reason why we are so lucky to live here in Hawai’i Nei.
