Senikau ni Viti (A1 Unframed Print)

Journey through Fiji’s most cherished blooms with this collection featuring five extraordinary flowers illustrated by Elsie Andrewes.

The vibrant red and white Tagimoucia, Fiji's most famous flower, grows exclusively in the misty heights of Taveuni Island, while the prehistoric Masiratu stands as a living fossil with its unique star-shaped flowers. The collection showcases the delicate Senitoa, beloved throughout Polynesia for its intoxicating fragrance, alongside the sacred Tiare, Tahiti's national flower known for its pure white petals and use in traditional lei-making. The native Gadi/Marasa/Vesida captivates with its sweetly scented white blooms, charming with its fringed flowers adding a distinctive beauty to this botanical tribute. Each flower in this collection represents not just the natural splendour of the Pacific Islands, but also carries deep cultural significance in traditional ceremonies, medicine, and personal adornment.

Perfect for botanists, cultural enthusiasts, or anyone seeking to add a piece of Fijian heritage to their space. If you’re interested in artworks of Fijian flowers and plants and their names, this is for you.

Did you know? The Tagimoucia is so rare and localized that it only grows naturally around Lake Tagimoucia on Taveuni Island, making it one of the world's most geographically restricted flowers.
