Tropical plants and flowers enjoy Hawaii because it possesses a year round tropical environment, copious rain fall and rich volcanic soil. Hawaii's great weather conditions means that there is no winter season and this allows plants to grow year-round. Almost daily precipitation ensures that plants never get parched, while its fertile soil gives plants the nutrition that they need to thrive. Many native and non-native plants call The State of Hawaii home; listed here are a few of them. The Anthurium is originally from South America, however this vibrant flower has made a home in Hawaii. It used to grow in the rain forests of South America, but once it was brought to here in the 1800's, people began raising them in their gardens under tangerine trees and tree ferns. As its popularity grew, growers used selective breeding to dramatically boost the amount of colors and sizes of anthurium flowers. Then they started raising Anthuriums on commercial facilities in enormous shade structures. The Lilikoi is a local species of Passion Fruit. It grows on lengthy vines to the size of baseballs and ripens to a yellowish colour. In some parts of Hawaii it grows so abundantly that it's considered as a nuisance. Yet it is a nuisance that produces an extremely yummy fruit. When you open up one, you'll find a sweet, tangy, orange pulp with an lovely flavor. The Macadamia Nut is originally from Australia, but it grows really very well in Hawaii. Every tree produces hundreds of little, round nuts that happen to be encircled in a very tough husk. The nuts contain a high level of fat and produce a splendid flavor when roasted with just a little sea salt. The trees can easily grow quite big and bees generally sip nectar from their blooms to produce honey. Lastly, Koa is a hardwood tree that's indigenous to Hawaii. It has tiny, crescent shaped leaves and produces a highly revered hardwood that's used in furniture making and wood working. It is an extremely sought after wood that features a gorgeous grain. It grows best in mid-elevation forests that are a bit inland from the shorelines.
