It's time to say "Hau`oli Lā Hānau" or Happy Birthday to Hawaii's best flower shop Watanabe Floral. This long-standing Honolulu-based business is a pillar of the community as it celebrates 69 wonderful years on July 17th. With a simple goal of "helping people express their feelings," this amazing company has created thousands of beautiful flower arrangements over the past decades.

From humble beginnings to its now 79-person operation, Watanabe Floral infuses heart, passion, and high-quality standards into everything it does. Watanabe Floral's story grows from a foundation of love: in 1945 founder Ernest Watanabe, while stationed in Australia, tended to a flower garden outside the barracks as he dreamed of his fiance, Shizue, back home.

After returning home and reunited with Shizue, Ernest continued to grow roses to help fellow soldiers nurture their romantic relationships that were strained due to long distances. As demand for their beautiful flowers increased, the company flourished and, in 1974, grew to include a wholesale division and direct-to-customer sales.

The company's success is due largely to the fact that it understands the inherent meaning that flowers carry. Creating a wide range of designs, including incredible tropical flower arrangements, sympathy flowers, wedding flower bouquets, prom flowers, and much more, Watanabe Floral has the flowers to help you say exactly what you want to say.

Is someone you love celebrating a birthday soon? Consider the classic-meets-tropical mood of their Timeless Romance bouquet. The playful Animotion line of emoticon-like arrangements are sure to make a friend smile.
