At statehood in 1959, the first state legislature adopted many of Hawaii's symbols as part of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS, state laws). It wasn't until 1988, however, that the yellow hibiscus which is native to the islands was selected to represent Hawaii. For this reason, you will see many older photos and postcards with the red hibiscus, or any other color for that matter, as the state flower. These weren't incorrect at the time.<BR/><BR/>I left Hawai'i for college in 1985, ending my official residency there. That's my excuse. I stand corrected and than k you for the correction.Tattoosdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919816455252541604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058251288236499429.post-1909613374125685402008-08-02T08:19:00.000-04:002008-08-02T08:19:00.000-04:00Technically, the Yellow Hibiscus is the Hawaiian s...Technically, the Yellow Hibiscus is the Hawaiian state flower.
