The Naupaka flower has a beautiful Hawaiian legend tied to it. The Goddess Pele fell in love with a youth who only had eyes for his one-true-love. Out of anger, she separated the lovers, sending the youth to the ocean and the young woman to the mountain, turning them into flowers. The two flowers bloom in only a semi-circle, but when brought together, become a full blossom. An enchanting story for a unique flower.
