Molokai Plumerias at a Glance
Molokai Plumerias have been growing
Hawaii’s Aloha flower since 1982. They are the largest plumeria
grower in Hawaii. Their farm is located just two miles (3.2 km) west
of Kaunakakai. When you visit the farm, you can sign up
for an afternoon tour, on which you’ll learn all about plumerias,
how the farm works and about the importance of this flower
to Hawaiian culture.
The so-called Aloha flower was named after Charles Plumier,
a French botanist. Plumerias go by various names. Sometimes,
Molokai plumerias are known as Celadine, Franginapani and
Hawaiian Yellow. This Aloha flower is also a favorite among
flower lei makers.
Molokai plumerias are yellow in color when they are young, but their colors change gradually into white at the edge
of the petals when they age. They are known not only for their beautiful
colors and silky smooth texture, but also for their fragrance.
You can buy the flowers in
loose form, cuttings or flower leis. The flowers may also be ordered
online.
