The Lehua flower is a vibrant, red blossom native to the Hawaiian Islands. It grows on the Ohia tree, which is one of the first plants to colonize lava flows. The flower is known for its unique, tufted appearance and is an important symbol in Hawaiian culture, often associated with love and beauty. Lehua flowers are not only visually striking but also play a crucial role in the local ecosystem. They attract various pollinators, including honeybees and native Hawaiian birds like the I'iwi. The flowers bloom year-round, contributing to the lush landscapes of Hawaii.
