What's the most Tiki flower? - General Tiki

Although, the hibiscus is used in a lot of Hawaiiana art [and is the official state flower of Hawaii]. As far as tiki culture is concerned, some tiki drinks were garnished with flowers, including a vanda orchid (Harry Yee's Blue Hawaii) and a gardenia (Donn Beach's Mystery Gardenia).
