Dragon Fruit Flower in Hawaiʻi

Dragon fruit, also called pitaya, produces large, striking flowers that are well adapted to Hawaiʻi’s warm tropical climate. The flowers are usually white, fragrant, and very large, often reaching about 8–14 inches (20–35 cm) across when fully open.

🌺Blooming time: Flowers typically open in the evening and remain open overnight, then begin to close early the following morning.
🌺Appearance: The flower has long green outer bracts surrounding numerous white petals. Its large size makes it easy to notice on the climbing cactus.
🌺Fragrance: Flowers can have a strong, sweet fragrance, especially during the night.
🌺Pollination: Dragon fruit flowers contain both male and female reproductive parts. Some varieties are self-fertile, while others benefit from cross-pollination. In Hawaiʻi, growers may use hand pollination to improve fruit set.
🌺Hawaiʻi conditions: Warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, and relatively dry conditions during flowering can favor good production, although excessive rain or humidity around bloom can interfere with pollination and fruit quality.
🌺Fruit development: After successful pollination, the flower develops into the familiar colorful dragon fruit. Depending on the variety and growing conditions, fruit can mature within several weeks after flowering.
🌺Best time to observe: The flowers are particularly interesting to observe after sunset, when they open and release their fragrance.
🌺Dragon fruit flowers are also valuable for Hawaiʻi growers because flowering and pollination strongly influence fruit yield and size.

Have you seen it in bloom while visiting HI? Have you tried it fruit?

History of the Pua Kenikeni in Hawaiʻi

The pua kenikeni is a fragrant flowering tree that has become an important part of Hawaiʻi’s lei culture. Its name means “ten-cent flower,” referring to the traditional price of ten cents for a lei made from its blossoms. The plant is scientifically known as Fagraea berteriana (also sometimes listed as Fagraea berteroana). It is not native to Hawaiʻi; it originated in the South Pacific and was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands after Western contact.

The pua kenikeni became especially popular because of its strong, beautiful fragrance. Its flowers can be white, yellow, or orange as they mature, and the blossoms have long been valued by lei makers. The flowers can also be used to add fragrance to coconut oil.

Although the plant was introduced, Native Hawaiians and later generations in Hawaiʻi incorporated it into local traditions. Today, pua kenikeni is commonly associated with lei making, aloha, celebrations, hula, graduations, weddings, and welcoming people to Hawaiʻi. The State of Hawaiʻi's Department of Land and Natural Resources recognizes pua kenikeni as one of the introduced flowering plants that became a favorite and a staple of the lei industry.

The history of pua kenikeni shows how Hawaiian culture has continued to grow by incorporating plants and traditions from different places while giving them a distinctly Hawaiian meaning. Its sweet fragrance and beautiful flowers have made it a beloved symbol of aloha and the tradition of giving lei in Hawaiʻi.

🌺Aloha Thursday 🌺

In Hawaiʻi, a lei is more than a beautiful circle of flowers. It can represent aloha, affection, friendship, respect, celebration, and welcome. And when someone places a lei around your neck, it can feel like they’re saying, “You’re special to me.”
