Resourceful ā¢ kokiāo keaĀ (Ko-kee-o kay-ah)
White Hawaiian Hibiscus
This incredible plant serves as a reminder to beĀ resourcefulĀ and to utilize all of our available resources to uplift others around us.
This design is inspired by an endemic species calledĀ Hibiscus arnottianus,Ā also known asĀ Kokiāo keaĀ (Ko-kee-o kay-ah) in Hawaiian, and more commonly understood as theĀ White Hawaiian HibiscusĀ in English. This flower has three subspecies that vary in look and shape and has many uses, both ancient and modern. TheĀ Kokiāo keaĀ was used for adornment in lei making and for medicinal purposes. For example, the bud was used in conjunction with the bark of the taproot to detoxify the body, and the stem was used to create cordage for a variety of uses on land and at sea. This variety of hibiscus is native to the moist and wet forests of the mountains of Molokaāi and Oāahu.
