species and laws have been drawn up as well to protect this
particular indigenous flower of Hawaii. In 2002, the act

efforts made by the federal government.
Hawaii is known for its exotic beauty and luscious tropical
flowers. However, some of these breathtakingly beautiful flowers
are not indigenous species of the island. As mentioned earlier,
native plants are in risk of being overrun by non-native
species. But with certain efforts, these indigenous flowers of
Hawaii will live longer to be cherished by the people of Hawaii
and visitors as well. The sight of the state-yellow hibiscus
can be very well symbolize the beauty of Hawaii , one that will make you
realize that the world is indeed a very beautiful place. The hibiscus is used in
wedding flowers for arrangements and bouquets alike .

the many species of indigenous flowers in different parts of the
world facing extinction. In Hawaii there are only 60
creamy-yellow hibiscus plants left and like other native plants
on the Island it is in danger of being overrun and overpopulated
by non-native plants. There are also other factors that threaten
the very existence of this rare indigenous flower such as fires,
road construction, livestock and wild pigs’ predation.
