The Queen Emma lily, or as I like to call it, the skinny purple flower.
It was named after King Kamehameha IV's wife, Emma. It was one of her favorite flowers that she grew in her gardens on their estate on Kaua'i during the late 1800's and has been associated with island royality ever since. (It's originally from the Seychelles)
Class dismissed! LOL
