Puakenikeni Lei
$40.00
The pua kenikeni lei is very fragile and fleeting. The lei is made with freshly picked pua kenikeni. The flower blooms white then gradually changes to yellow then orange then deep orange. Therefore, the color change will happen during shipment, and your pua kenikeni will most likely be some shade of orange when you receive it.
**Limited availability, substitution may be necessary.
**Extremely perishable. We suggest shipping within Hawaii or West Coast delivery zones only. Mid-US, East Coast, and Canada deliveries are shipped at the buyer’s risk and are not guaranteed. Please select “I Agree” to indicate your acceptance of this disclaimer.
