What’s a Pikake?

​

Pikake is the Hawaiianized word for the peacock! It is also the name generally used for the

Chinese jasmine flower.  The Chinese jasmine flower was brought to Hawaii in the 1880s

and grew lushly around Princess Victoria Kaiulani’s estate, Ainahau.

It is said that she called the flower ‘pikake’ because her peacocks used to roam through the plants.

Delicate Pikake, the fragrant flower of romance, honors Kaiulani, the beloved last princess of Hawaii. To this day, Pikake leis are worn in the islands for special celebrations of love.
