The flower I often see on a poastcard from Hawaii, and even on some Hawaian license places, I think, has big, floppy pedals (usually about five) and a tall thing (stamina? stemina?) coming up the middle. When they're in color, the pedals are usually red, pink or purple and the thing is yellow. It'd also be nice if you know what the thing is called...

The flower is a hibiscus. The thing in the middle is the stamen.

It's the hibiscus. Although different colors of hibiscus were historically associated with the islands, the yellow hibiscus (a native to Hawaii) is the state flower:

Hibiscus. Another flower from Hawaii would be the plumeria.
