Pikake, or Hawaiian Jasmine, is referred to as the 'flower of romance.' This delicate white flower is a member of the olive family, used to make jasmine tea in China, and is the national flower of the Philippines, where it is known as Sampaguita. The word 'Pikake' means 'peacock' in Hawaiian, and was the favorite flower of Princess Kaiulani, Hawaii's last princess. The buds are one of Hawaii's most popular lei plants and are picked in the morning when their sweet scent is most fragrant.
