Mahalo for all the tips on this plant! Makes magnificent leis, too. Check out the book "Ka Lei" (or Google) for instructions how to make a lei. The old hapa haole song by Milton Beamer, comes to mind..."Blue lei"[
]
You were wearing a blue lei
The day that I first met you,
As we walked along the sand
By the blue, blue sea.
Without a cloud in the sky to caress us,
Not a tear have you or I to suppress us.
I will always remember
The moment that I kissed you,
And the smile upon your lips that was heavenly sweet.
When your blue eyes looked in to mine,
It was then the sun began to shine,
That day in May you wore a blue lei.
