Baddie Lei

Aloha ē!
Does anyone have a source for hinahina? I am helping and others making horse lei and lei for the riders representing Kāho'olawe for the parade on April 23rd!

We are still in need of the staple flower to represent this island! HINAHINA

Here are some screensot Google images... if anyone has a source for some of these, just enough for a couple of lei po'o or more if possible, we would greatly appreciate it!

We are happy to pay and pay to ship to BI, since hinahina is more prevalent on islands like Moloka'i, also in Oahu and Maui.

Mahalo Nui Loa in advance for any leads!!

I'm so excited to have the parade back on this year and to be a part of this process!! 💚

I have a special place in my heart for kou because I grew up with one in my backyard, where I climbed its branches and relaxed in its shade.
While this tree can reach heights of 30-40 feet, it is easily pruned and shaped between 15-25 feet to fit into a backyard.
They are relatively quick growing when they are young, so kou is a great option for creating shade quickly!
They produce beautiful orange trumpet-shaped flowers that are prized by lei-makers.

Kou is one of the few deciduous native Hawaiian plants, so it will at some point drop most of its leaves. In addition to the leaves, the tree flowers throughout the year, and eventually produces small round fruits that drop en masse.
