Hawaii State Flower --
Thank you to all for making this such a pleasure to put together.
We have enjoyed all the photos you have sent in and now they can be enjoyed by our viewers.
The yellow hibiscus is the state flower.
Here they are ...

The genus Hibiscus includes some 200 species, seven of which are regarded as native Hawaiian hibiscus. Although tourists regularly do associate the hibiscus flower with their experiences visiting the US state of Hawai‘i, and the plant family Malvaceae includes a relatively large number of species that are native to the Hawaiian Islands, those flowers presented to or regularly observed by tourists are generally not the native hibiscus flowers.

Most commonly grown as ornamental plants in the Islands are the Chinese hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) and its numerous hybrids.
