Dendrobium orchids are native to Asia and the Pacific Islands. There are a thousand species of Dendrobiums. Some were used exclusively by orchidists in Hawai‘i, France, and Thailand to create hybrids that are still used.

Straight stringing method:
kui pololei
This is the most common method of lei making. The flowers are pierced lengthwise, through the center, using a long steel needle. The flowers are held together by a single string.

ancient materials
Early Hawaiians didn’t have steel needles, so they used a piece of the smooth round midrib of the coconut leaf or stems of flowers from native grasses. For string, they used fibers from the native olona shrub or the hala tree.

I was super happy with our greeting! The leis were very fresh. And our greeter made it super memorable for my children. He went above and beyond with his welcome.

This was a surprise for daughter and her husband for their honeymoon. I ordered these leis along with a bracelet and sign message. The sign included their names and a happy honeymoon message. They were very surprised because they weren’t expecting it. I requested the greeter to say it was from mom 🙂 My daughter sent me a picture of them with their sign. She said the greeter offered to take the photo which I thought was sweet.

Last time I went to Hawai’i, I saw other people getting leis at the airport. To be honest we felt a little left out. So this time we made sure to order some leis for our group.

I surprised my parents on their 40th wedding anniversary trip to Maui. They were so surprised and felt special. They saved their leis and brought them back home —- the leis were missing a few flowers and wilted by then lol
Chelsie –
Perfect start to our family vacay!!

I was looking forward to receiving our leis, but I wasn’t expecting to have such a friendly welcoming experience. The person who met us really made us feel like we landed in the Hawaiian islands. The first thing she said was “ALOHA!”
Chelsie –
So glad I ordered leis

when we landed, my gf saw other people holding leis. i could tell she wanted one. so when she saw her name on the sign, she got super excited. she almost thought she was missing out.

If you’re going to Hawai’i……..you gotta get leis!
