Today I’m on location at Green Point Nurseries in Hilo Hawaii. With my Flower Friend Estela Navalta- and she is teaching me how to create two kinds of Lei… one is a double white Dendrobium Orchid Lei- and the other is a braided Ti Leaf Lei- These Lei are available on the Green Point Nursery website– Estela is fast- and she is an expert having worked at Green Point Nurseries for over 37 years. I’m so grateful to Eric Tanouye and his family- for allowing us to film at their location- and so Thankful for Estela’s Expertise and Talent… I hope you enjoy this wonderful Flower Craft- and Culture… from our Visit to Hilo Hawaii!
