You're in luck, my wife is Hawaiian!

Hibiscus = Aloalo, koki'o
Red Ginger = 'ula'ula 'Awapuhi
Bird of Paradise = Manu ko Palekaiko

These are the actual Hawaiian language words. If you want to know the pidgon words I can tell you those too ;)

I thank you very much for the answers Dennis, most helpful. Being able to use this question service is GREAT. I am only missing one name, Plumeria, I can not find any translation for this except for Asian. Maybe I will get an answer for this one yet. Thanks for answering. The quilt lady.
