Kukunaokalā & Tuberose Twist Lei
$45.00
This one of a kind Kukunaokala & Tuberose Twist Lei combines two very different flowers. Kukunaokala is translated as “rays of the sun.” It’s a strong brittle flower found growing near the brackish waters between the ocean and the mountains. The tuberose however grows further inland and although it’s a bit more fragile than the kukunaokala, it makes up for it with it’s gorgeous fragrance! They compliment each other beautifully.
Please Note: Kukunaokala is in limited supply and substitution may be necessary.

RELATED INFORMATION
The stiff yellow/red flowers come from mangroves that were introduced to Hawaii in 1922. The flowers are gathered from trees that grow at the mouths of brackish water streams near the ocean, and are most plentiful during the late summer through the fall. The lei will keep well for over a week and is still wearable when it is completely dried.
The tuberose is a night-blooming plant thought to be native to Mexico. It has been cultivated in Hawaii for many years now and has become a very popular lei making flower here. Its scent is described as a complex, exotic, sweet floral.

I ordered the kukunaokala and tuberose lei with some hesitancy for my husband’s retirement party. I wasn’t sure if my husband would like the fragrance. He loved it! He felt like he was in the islands!
