Introduced and now reproducing on its own in the wild.
Hedychium gardnerianum (Kahili ginger, Kahila garland-lily, or ginger lily (Aust.)) is a plant native to the Himalayas in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. It grows to 8 ft (2.4 m) tall with long, bright green leaves clasping the tall stems. The very fragrant pale yellow and red flowers are held in dense spikes above the foliage. They appear towards the end of summer.

The curve reflects when observers annotated flowering and fruiting — which tracks observer effort as well as plant behavior, and pools all elevations and islands into one signal. Hawaiʻi’s microclimates vary enormously; a species may fruit in January at sea level and June at elevation. Use this to know when to look, then look.
