Big Island Hawaii – Red

Pele still rules on the Big Island of Hawaii. The color red honors the fire goddess that still spills her lava along the shores and into the sea. Ohia flowers also come in white, orange and yellow, but it is the bright red feather-like blossoms that represent the Big Island. Another name for the flower is the pua lehua.
