Introducing the flowers used in this lei

Pua Keni Keni

It is an important flower in Hawaii, with a strong fragrance and used as an ingredient in luxury perfumes. The flower color starts out white and gradually changes to golden yellow. It was once a very popular flower in Hawaii, and was sold for 10 cents a flower. Because 10 cents was a very expensive sum at the time, it was given the Hawaiian name Puakenikeni, which means "10-cent flower." In Japan, it is a rare variety with little distribution, and the plant appears in hula songs.

Pakalana

This flower was brought to Hawaii by Chinese immigrants and is also known as the Chinese Violet. It has very thick greenish petals and a wonderful sweet fragrance. It is harvested from late spring to autumn, and the fragrance is strongest in the early morning and evening. The flowers are green when they first bloom, but turn slightly yellow as the days go by, and in Japan they are called "Yaraikou" (night-time fragrance) because they are especially fragrant at night.
