Kalla Moon Guy Flowers

"Grandpa, check out
this huge yellow tree
in front of Aiea library,
all of the pretty yellow
flowers on the ground
is really really really
nice to look at."
"Yeah, well in Hawaii
there's so much pretty
trees and flowers and
other stuff. This Golden
Shower Tree is not even
the prettiest tree over
here in Hawaii.......the
prettiest tree in Hawaii
is actually the plumeria
... and really it's kind of a
common tree and I think
the plumeria lei is prolly
the cheapest lei you can
buy, but it's that simple
beauty of that flower that
appeals to me the most.
And it really smells good too. They get orange, pink, yellow
and red flowers. The white one is everywhere...it doesn't
grow so good in the mainland, but your old Grandpa got a
few small kine trees. Not too much flowers though...you
cannot beat Hawaii for plumeria trees.....they stay all over
the place. But all the flowers here are all pretty....hibiscus,
red ginger, ilima, protea, tuberose, and kalamungay."
"Grandpa, you sure the kalamungay get pretty flowers?"
"Oh yeah, get the small oval green flowers that Lola puts in
her soup with chicken necks and ginger....."
"Eh knucklehead! Dass the leaves, you ding dong."
