‘A’ai – Bright or vivid, as when colors contrast with each other. For example, when a yellow feather lei is worn on a black velvet holokū (traditional Hawaiian gown), the feathers appear more bright and lustrous, and the velvet appears more dark and rich.

We are so blessed to have such an abundance of flowers here in Hawaiʻi. Just in my own little yard, I am able to grow a variety of orchids. This month, so many of my little orchid babies have bloomed, I thought I would take some photos and share them with you!
The Hilo Orchid Society has information on how to grow these beauties.
