The hibiscus is the official state flower: back in the 1920s, when Hawaii was still a territory, their leaders chose this flower because it was native to Hawaii, very beautiful, and in traditional Hawaiian culture, it represented royalty or authority. In 1959, when Hawaii became a state, the legislature decided to keep many of the symbols that were meaningful to the people who grew up there; thus, since the hibiscus was one of the most popular flowers in Hawaii, it became the official state flower.
