Crown Flowers

Crown flowers come in off white and lavender in color. Flowers bloom year round and the tree is relatively small in size and very low maintenance. Crown flower lei are one of those quiet and elegant lei. To add a little splash, one may want to twisted it with a strand of roses, pikake or pakalana lei.

Lei vs. arm bouquet

Well, sure we are in Hawaii and we should get lei.  But sometimes it is kind of fun to get an arm bouquet.  No, I don’t mean a dozen roses from the grocery store.  I mean a really nicely arranged arm bouquet with nice wrapping and a big bow, the type you would get at a pageant or at the end of a recital.  So, try it, but cooridnate with each other, because she is only got two arms.

Congrat to the grads

Lei giving (piling) is a common a scene at graduations.  Consider lei with big visual impact such as the single orchids, carnation, and plumeria that are big in size and bright in color. Of course price are very reasonable for the tuberose, heea, sea grapes and ti-leaves lei but with less visual impact.  Then again, it is not about visual impact with lei giving.  It’s about sharing the aloha and giving congratulation.  Have fun at the graduation.  Take plenty pictures, okay.

Crown, pikake and a few mintues lei-ter

When things are scatter, disorder and just a mess.  Simply, it is just unpleasant to see it around. And never mind the thought of giving this mess to someone as a gift.  Or could we?

By putting out just a little thoughts and effort into lining them in an orderly fashion.  It could become something good.  Something that you can definetly give to someone as a gift.   This is not about judging a glass half empty or half full.  This is about putting an effort to fill up a half filled glass until it is fulfilled.  Enjoy, this special crown flower with pikake lei.
