Spring flowers on Maui - ti leaf blossoms

By
Real Estate Agent with Hawai'i Life Real Estate Brokers HRE# 58089 - RS

Spring flowers on Maui - Yes we do have seasons in Hawaii, and you notice different trees and flowers that bloom at different times of the year.  You may not have heard of ti (pronounced tea) leaves, but they are common and almost every yard will have them.  The leaves grow all year and have many uses in the home and kitchen.  Wrap food in them for cooking, or serve food on them as makeshift paper plates.

Hawaiians considered them good luck and would plant them in every corner of the yard.  You can't really have too many, and they come in a wide variety of colors and shapes.  The common green ti is everywhere and mostly seen at luaus decorating the tables or stage.  Bright red ones are beautiful, as are the variegated ones.

In the spring they all blossom with a spray of tiny fragrant flowers.  Bees buzz around and gather nectar and pollen.  It's a great reminder that summer weather is coming.

Gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing. I miss my Maui.

I grew up part time in Wailea and Kihei, even got married there, but now it's been 5 years since I set foot there. I loved the Plumerias and Anthuriums there.
