The flowers here are gorgeous and abundant with bright colours, large and varied petals, and pleasant aromas. The most popular are:
Frangipani,
Gardenia,
Hibiscus, and
Bougainvillea. And whatever the occasion, formal or fun, it’s standard issue to have a fresh or fake flower tucked behind an ear, or worn in garlands around the neck or head, called an “ei”, (pronounce it like you were Fonzie: aay) - elsewhere known as a
Lei.
I’m told what to look for in a head ei is good mixture of colour. Also you can make them last a few days by putting them in the fridge. I made mine into a centrepiece for the table – I’m like an island Martha Stewart.
