‘Ōhi’a Lehua is an story of love — as it goes, ‘Ōhi’a and Lehua were once lovers. It’s said that when a flower is picked, it causes rain upon the separation. The ‘Ōhi’a Lehua also represents resilience as it is one of the first to grow from the basalt of recent lava flows. Here in our collab, we felt it right as the yin-yang balance to Hilo’s rain.

Ho’onu’a Hilo i ka lehua. Hilo produces the lehua in abundance.
