The Hawaiian alphabet consists of 13 letters and K is one of only eight consonants. This means there are a lot of words and a lot of flower names beginning with K, so it’s not so dreaded here for that!

I know you wouldn’t disappoint Terri with heaps of “K” flowers Graham. These, plus the others are so good.

Thanks Kirstin. Lots of K words in Hawaii, not just flowers.

That’s very interesting and explains why the names are often so long – reusing the same letters will do that! (Like humuhumunukunukuapua’a) (which is easy for me to remember because nuku means ”sleep” in Finnish and apua is ”help”… humu however means nothing, that would’ve been cool though!)

Linguistics are so interesting. I wish I was better with languages, but it’s not my forte.

Thanks Terri. Going through my photos I realized there were several plants I don’t have photos of. Have to remedy that!
