Everyday Surprises

Look at me… do you know my name?

I decided to blossom and shine bright like the ‘star’ I am!

Did you know… The plumeria is also known by other names, including frangipani, golok chapa, Araliya, Temple Flower as well as Pua melia? Now you do.

Happy ALOHA Friday kākou!!!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of learning, growth, and incredible experiences for me as a person. I am deeply honored to have once again participated in perpetuating the pāʻū tradition at the 107th Annual King Kamehameha Celebration Floral Parade where I represented the Island of Oʻahu along with my unit. The months, weeks, and days leading up to this momentous event were filled with trials and tribulations that challenged us, helped us learn, and ultimately made us stronger. Through these experiences, I’ve gained so much and formed valuable new relationships. 🐎

I also had the distinct honor of being asked to judge a prestigious pageant for the first time. Serving as a judge for Miss Hawaii Teen 2024 was an eye-opening experience that helped me grow and step outside of my comfort zone. I connected with fellow judges and felt the joy of being part of such a meaningful event. The contestants were outstanding and brave, each one a winner in their own right. I was moved by their courage and dedication to their platforms, and I encourage them to continue the good fight and never give up. 👑

Reflecting on all these experiences, I am filled with immense gratitude for life and the pursuit of happiness. I apologize if I have been absent, missed a call, text, or email, or responded late over the past three weeks—this is the reason why. Thank you for your understanding and patience. 🤙🏼

I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the family and friends who have stood by my side and supported me on this and my many journey preceding. A special thanks to my mom, who has always been there for me with her unwavering love. Now, I look forward to some much-needed rest before diving back into my regularly scheduled programming called life. ❤️

Finally, I give all honor to our Savior, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are possible. Also, thank you, everyone, for your love and support. 🙏

Mahalo nui loa. 🌺

Hui ʻohana,
I am in search of kou flower trees where I may gather these beautiful pua from for my upcoming participation in pāʻū on June 8th ma Waikīkī.
If you have a tree in your yard or know where one is located that I may gather these pua, please LMK. I mahalo you in advance.

🌺 Honoring Our Heroes 🌺

Today, I had the profound privilege of creating this patriotic sympathy wreath to pay tribute to two fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. As I carefully arranged each flower, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for their bravery and selflessness.

This wreath is more than just a floral arrangement; it's a symbol of honor, respect, and remembrance. It serves as a heartfelt expression of gratitude to those who have given their lives in service to our nation.

May this wreath stand as a beacon of light and hope for the families and loved ones of these courageous soldiers. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten, and their legacy will continue to inspire us all. 🇺🇸 💐

To all my business owner friends… there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pushing.

Mothers are the heartbeat of the world, nurturing and shaping it with their boundless love, unwavering strength, and endless sacrifices. They are the architects of our earliest memories, the guiding lights through life's storms, and the silent warriors who champion our dreams. On Mother's Day, we celebrate the incredible impact of mothers, whose love knows no bounds and whose presence fills our lives with warmth and meaning. They are the embodiment of love, compassion, and resilience, shaping not just individuals, but the very fabric of society itself.
💐

As flower prices continue to increase, I must adjust my pricing accordingly. With the season of Mothers, Fathers, and Graduations approaching, the demand for flowers is higher than ever. Unfortunately, not only have prices risen, but there is also a scarcity in supply. Please note that lei orders may not be guaranteed in advance due to widespread flower shortages. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I navigate through these challenges. 💐

Maile available in the shop today… DM, inbox or call to purchase.

Currently experiencing a power outage in my area… I will call you back when we are back up and running. Should I miss your call, text, or DM.
Mahalo for your patience!

Bruised but not broken… pua melia usually have 5 petals, this beauty decided to shine through with one more. Though brown and bruised she still contains more than most. Remember there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. And although you may not fit in, you are made for a purpose. Find that why and conquer it!
