New Hibiscus Stamp

“A Hibiscus in full bloom seems as if giving off light; it has a luminous quality that calls out to you.” -Wangari Maathai

Hawaiʻi is the land of beautiful pua (flowers)

There are seven species of hibiscus native to Hawaii.

From the coastlines to the fiery crater of Kīlauea, rare and stunning flowers can be found growing across the Islands. These flowers have been important symbols in Hawaiian culture. Stories of the Hawaiian gods are often connected to many flowers, while some varieties were once used for medicinal purposes by early Hawaiians. And when the flowers are strung together, they create stunning lei. Today, lei is synonymous with Hawaiʻi as a symbol of aloha. However, what is less known are the pua that represent each island. While the maʻo hau hele, the yellow hibiscus, is the state flower, each of the eight main Hawaiian Islands has its own official flower and color, too. 

This natural rubber stamp is mounted on a sustainable maple wood handle.
