Also known as Frangipani (Plumeria rubra) or the Hawaiin Lei flower, they blossom from a tropical flowering tree nearly year round. Extraordinary in beautiful and scent, Plumeria flowers thrive in tropical climates and are highly abundant in Hawai`i. Plumeria are valued as landscape plants, ornamentals, and for their flowers. The flowers come in seemingly endless varieties of color, size and fragrance. Flowers can be strung together to make a lei which is presented to friends and guests of either gender and worn around the neck or a single flowers can be worn over a female's ear. Plumeria is related to the Oleander, and both possess a poisonous, milky sap. Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply fake their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their endless search for nectar. The flowers come in gorgeous rose-pink color brushed with bronze and many other combinations of color patterns. Frangipani flowers are highly scented during nights and often used in bouquets and they have a wonderful tropical essence. About Carvings: Polynesian carved jewelry is an important ancient craft. A number of Polynesian styles are popular, including the Tiki, which is sacred and represents the first man and the continuing strong links with the sea; ka makau (fish hook) is another traditional design indicating good luck, strength, prosperity, and abundance in the person who wears it. Many designs were also regarded as possessing great spiritual significance and were often used to guard against bad energy. To the Polynesians there were no supernatural occurrences; the entire universe and all things, including spirits, were entirely natural. Since many Polynesian populations had no written language, tribal history and the stories of the ancient gods were preserved by using fine arts and crafts, from basket and cloth-weaving to detailed carvings in bone and shells. A piece of Polynesian jewelry worn with respect or given/received as a gift from the heart is said to take on much of the spirit of the giver and also from the person who wears or handles the piece is also contained. A jewelry carving worn by past ohana (family) or tribal members over many generations is said to contain the mana (spiritual essence) of all of those people and is truly a powerful and great treasure.
