Blatts (Cordyline fruticosa, Hawaii)

The lucky plant is also known by the names Hawaiian Ti plant, palm lily and cabbage palm. It comes from Southeast Asia, particularly the Pacific Islands and New Zealand. In many Austronesian cultures it is considered a sacred plant - it drives away evil spirits, and the green leaves symbolize peace and healing, making it very popular both indoors and outdoors.

Lately I've been reading a lot about Huna and Kahunas, and that's why I've been interested in the symbols that Hawaiians consider to bring good luck. My new painting will tell about it. I'm in the process of painting it right now. 

I recommend the book "The ancient knowledge of the Kahunas - The Magic of Miracles" by Max Freedom Long.

These symbols are deeply rooted in the cultures and traditions of each country and bring good luck, protection and prosperity.
