What is the Ko'oloa'ula Flower?

I chose the Koʻoloaʻula flower to be the star of this theme because she is native to the islands and also endangered.The Koʻoloaʻula flower can only be found on Oʻahu, Maui, Lānaʻi, and Hawaiʻi Island. Color features of this flower are vibrant and bold ranging from a butter yellow to a dark maroon red. Its leaves flow so elegantly and is topped off with a beautiful stem. The reason they remind me of our theme is because they can grow in hot, dry, and sunny places. They thrive in our harsh, hot weather and continue to bloom beautifully throughout the year. This flower endures hot summers and rainy winters without losing its purpose. It continues to grow even though its species abundance is slowly decreasing.
