Kaashidhoo is famous for finifenmaa or the Maldivian Rose which is Maldives' national flower.
It is light pink in color and almost all homes have them in their spacious gardens.
The specialty about the Maldivian Rose is that, unlike imported roses, it has a very sweet smell.
The plant is difficult to grow in the Maldives but a Kaashidhoo resident, Ms. Fanke, shared the secret of how to grow it.
"It is how you cut the flower when it blooms which ensures that the plant stay healthy and continues to grow. Do not pick just the flower; cut the better part of the stem and then bend it down and insert it into the ground. You will then find new branches appearing with healthy flowers."
Kaashidhoo's rich soil may also have a key role to play although it has not been known whether any studies have been conducted on its rich mineral content.
Finifenmaa hardly grows in Male' City and most of the Maldivian Roses have to be imported from Kaashidhoo for decoration during special occasions.
