The moʻolelo (story, tale, myth, legend…) of pā'ū o hi'iaka

Pāʻū o hiʻiaka in ‘ōlelo Hawai’I translates to "skirt of Hiʻiaka". The plant's name comes from the legend of Hiʻiaka, the younger sister of the fire goddess Pele, who as a baby fell asleep on the beach while waiting for Pele to return from surfing. The vine-like plant draped itself over Hiʻiaka like a skirt to protect her from the sun. 

Digital illustration hand drawn by , the artist behind Aloha de Mele. Inspired by Hawaii's beauty, culture, and people, each art piece was created to make a statement, exude good vibes, and spread the aloha spirit. All prints are professionally printed in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
