Welcome to "Life in Bloom."

01:48.600 --> 01:52.433 align:start position:10% line:10% size:75%
In Hawaii, May Day is Lei Day,

01:50.833 --> 01:53.333 align:start position:10% line:10% size:75%
and I've always been intrigued

01:52.433 --> 01:54.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:35%
by Hawaii ever

01:53.333 --> 01:56.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
since I was young.

01:54.600 --> 01:58.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
I was fortunate to visit

01:56.233 --> 01:59.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
Hawaii twice in my youth,

01:57.666 --> 02:01.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
as I tagged along with my

01:58.866 --> 02:03.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
florist parents

01:59.766 --> 02:04.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
for industry conventions.

02:01.933 --> 02:05.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
When my father was president

02:03.266 --> 02:08.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
of the Society of American

02:04.266 --> 02:09.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
Florists, we visited the island

02:05.633 --> 02:11.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
of Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.

02:08.500 --> 02:14.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
My attraction to Hawaii

02:09.866 --> 02:15.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
and its spirit of aloha

02:11.100 --> 02:16.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
was rooted from then on.

02:14.200 --> 02:18.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
Fast-forward to today,

02:15.700 --> 02:19.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
as the creator and host

02:16.800 --> 02:21.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
of a show all about flowers,

02:18.533 --> 02:22.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
it seemed high time

02:19.800 --> 02:24.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
to learn more about the flowers

02:21.366 --> 02:26.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
of Hawaii

02:22.200 --> 02:26.733 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:67.5%
and specifically the varied

02:24.133 --> 02:26.733 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:77.5%
and beautiful tradition of lei.

02:33.866 --> 02:39.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
I decided Lei Day, May 1st, was

02:36.433 --> 02:40.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
the perfect opportunity.

the Hawaiian culture of lei.

02:42.666 --> 02:45.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
There's so much more

02:43.900 --> 02:47.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
to be learned

02:44.433 --> 02:49.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%

and symbolism of lei

02:49.233 --> 02:53.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
go well beyond

02:50.366 --> 02:55.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%

"aloha" at airport arrivals.

02:53.966 --> 02:57.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%

fascinating and beautiful,

02:56.566 --> 03:02.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%

This place is busy.

03:54.200 --> 03:59.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
We got here when you opened, and

03:56.000 --> 04:00.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
you were selling lei already.

03:57.600 --> 04:01.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
How many leis do you think

03:59.400 --> 04:02.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%

Do you have any guess?

>> Oh, I'm sure thousands.

04:04.733 --> 04:08.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
But you gotta realize, we've

04:05.700 --> 04:09.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
been here like over 60 years.

04:07.033 --> 04:10.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%

I don't know about that.

04:12.133 --> 04:15.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
Because you got to realize, too,

04:13.433 --> 04:17.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
that it's seasonal

04:14.733 --> 04:19.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
and there could be, like,

04:15.733 --> 04:20.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
a bad weather spell,

04:17.533 --> 04:22.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%

And there's love in every lei

04:38.300 --> 04:41.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
they're helping someone find.

04:40.200 --> 04:42.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
>> We inherited

04:40.966 --> 04:44.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
that from my mother.

04:41.900 --> 04:44.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
>> Oh, okay. Yeah.

04:42.600 --> 04:46.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> My mother always said,

04:44.133 --> 04:47.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
"Take care of the person

04:44.933 --> 04:50.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
outside there,

04:46.866 --> 04:51.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
whatever they want."

04:47.866 --> 04:53.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
So their need became

04:50.333 --> 04:55.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
first before ours.

04:51.700 --> 04:58.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

05:20.233 --> 05:26.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> Ahhh, I have been coming

05:22.066 --> 05:26.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
to your store since I was 7.

05:24.800 --> 05:27.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%

05:26.633 --> 05:30.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
When I would -- And, so,

05:27.666 --> 05:31.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
whenever we would come,

05:29.166 --> 05:33.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
we would come here.

05:30.100 --> 05:34.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Okay.

05:31.133 --> 05:36.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> And this is such an honor

05:33.300 --> 05:38.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
to interview you and talk to you

05:34.900 --> 05:39.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
and get to watch you make lei.

05:36.833 --> 05:41.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:38.466 --> 05:44.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
Something different, yeah?

05:39.433 --> 05:45.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> Yeah. It's true.

05:41.800 --> 05:46.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

05:44.166 --> 05:48.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%
See?

05:45.300 --> 05:49.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
>> Oh, wow.

05:46.366 --> 05:50.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
Amazing! Amazing!

05:48.266 --> 05:52.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> Hello. Plumeria lei.

05:49.866 --> 05:54.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
Yeah, yeah.

05:50.866 --> 05:56.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> So, your mother is --

05:52.066 --> 05:57.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
It's such an honor to meet her.

05:54.233 --> 05:59.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
>> Pretty good for 92.

05:56.300 --> 06:01.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> She is a legend.

05:57.733 --> 06:03.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
She is a legend.

05:59.066 --> 06:04.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
And that's so amazing.

06:01.033 --> 06:06.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
I love that. I love that.

06:03.233 --> 06:08.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
And you're keeping

06:04.400 --> 06:09.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
that whole legacy alive.

06:06.200 --> 06:11.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
It's so amazing.

06:08.300 --> 06:14.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
What do you think is

06:09.366 --> 06:16.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
so important about a lei?

06:11.766 --> 06:17.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> I think the whole idea

06:14.166 --> 06:18.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
of gifting.

06:16.033 --> 06:20.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
We help celebrate

06:17.433 --> 06:20.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
for that person

06:18.500 --> 06:21.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
that's trying to buy a lei.

06:20.200 --> 06:22.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
We always ask,

06:20.833 --> 06:23.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
"What's your occasion?

06:21.733 --> 06:23.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
What's your event?

06:22.433 --> 06:25.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
When is it?"

06:23.033 --> 06:26.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
And we try to get

06:23.633 --> 06:28.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
some information to guide them

06:25.266 --> 06:29.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
to make that right choice.

06:26.566 --> 06:30.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
Because you know what?

06:28.100 --> 06:31.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
That choice, that lei,

06:29.633 --> 06:33.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
is going to be in a picture.

06:30.900 --> 06:34.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
It's going to be in a book.

06:31.766 --> 06:35.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
It's going to be in a --

06:33.300 --> 06:36.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
It could be in a paper.

06:34.066 --> 06:37.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
It could be in television.

06:35.000 --> 06:38.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
It could be mostly here

06:36.600 --> 06:39.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
and here.

06:37.333 --> 06:40.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
>> Right.

06:38.166 --> 06:43.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> And people remember that.

06:39.166 --> 06:44.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> What's your favorite part

06:40.033 --> 06:46.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
about the lei business?

06:43.700 --> 06:47.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> Talking to people

06:44.700 --> 06:48.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
about their stories.

06:46.200 --> 06:50.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
People want to be heard.

06:47.533 --> 06:51.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
>> Right, right.

06:48.300 --> 06:53.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
>> I don't think we --

06:50.266 --> 06:54.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
There's, like, a lot of mental

06:51.433 --> 06:57.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
health going on with flowers.

06:53.100 --> 06:58.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> It's true. It's true.

06:54.666 --> 06:59.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
It's the aloha spirit.

06:57.300 --> 07:01.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
It's the aloha spirit.

06:58.466 --> 07:03.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
And I think if we're kinder

06:59.866 --> 07:05.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
and gentler and more loving

07:01.433 --> 07:07.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
with each other, that that makes

07:03.500 --> 07:07.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
it even better for everyone.

07:05.000 --> 07:09.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
That will raise us all up.

07:07.200 --> 07:10.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
>> Oh, giving lei

07:07.866 --> 07:12.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
is a huge gesture of kindness.

07:09.966 --> 07:13.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

07:10.800 --> 07:13.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> Yeah. You have a lei needle

07:12.500 --> 07:15.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
in your room?

07:13.033 --> 07:15.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
>> Not yet.

07:13.633 --> 07:16.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> I'm gonna get you one.

07:15.466 --> 07:18.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Okay.

07:15.966 --> 07:19.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> Everybody should have a

07:16.833 --> 07:21.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
lei needle in their kitchen

07:18.700 --> 07:21.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
so that you can make

07:19.866 --> 07:23.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
a lei out of anything.

07:21.000 --> 07:25.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

07:21.500 --> 07:25.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
Make lei where you live.

07:23.433 --> 07:27.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
Make lei from the flowers

07:25.000 --> 07:27.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
where you live.

07:25.733 --> 07:29.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
And that has inspired me.

07:27.166 --> 07:30.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
>> Yes.

07:27.666 --> 07:32.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> I want to make lei from

07:29.666 --> 07:32.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
the flowers I have in my garden.

07:30.966 --> 07:33.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
Karen, thank you so much

07:32.000 --> 07:34.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
for talking to me.

07:32.666 --> 07:35.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
I appreciate it.

07:33.533 --> 07:38.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
It's such a treat.

07:34.466 --> 07:40.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
It's such a treat.

07:35.066 --> 07:42.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
And I'm glad that you're

07:38.933 --> 07:44.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
as beautiful as your leis,

07:40.833 --> 07:45.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
and your spirit is so --

07:42.366 --> 07:47.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
It's just -- It's wonderful.

07:44.333 --> 07:47.500 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:52.5%
>> Thank you so much.

07:45.433 --> 07:47.500 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:25%
Thank you.

07:57.600 --> 08:01.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> Hawaii is home to some

07:58.466 --> 08:03.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
of the most exotic plumeria,

07:59.933 --> 08:04.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
also known as frangipani,

08:01.566 --> 08:06.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
found anywhere in the world.

08:03.533 --> 08:08.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
Plumeria trees flower

08:04.700 --> 08:10.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
from early summer to fall.

08:06.633 --> 08:12.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
The flowers are highly fragrant,

08:08.466 --> 08:13.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
especially at night.

08:10.400 --> 08:15.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
Insect or human pollination

08:12.466 --> 08:16.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
can help create

08:13.333 --> 08:18.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
new varieties of plumeria.

08:15.100 --> 08:21.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
Plumeria flowers come in

08:16.466 --> 08:24.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
many colors, including

08:18.300 --> 08:25.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
pink, red, white and yellow,

08:21.700 --> 08:26.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
orange, or pastel.

08:24.400 --> 08:27.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
When the first yellow-white

08:25.433 --> 08:28.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
flower tree was introduced

08:26.833 --> 08:30.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
to Hawaii

08:27.366 --> 08:31.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
by Dr. William Hillebrand

08:28.733 --> 08:34.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
in 1860,

08:30.100 --> 08:35.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
it became a celebrated tree

08:31.633 --> 08:38.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
popular in Hawaii's landscape.

08:34.700 --> 08:39.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
In Hawaii,

08:35.633 --> 08:42.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
the flower is called melia.

08:38.500 --> 08:44.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
In several Pacific islands,

08:39.900 --> 08:46.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji,

08:42.300 --> 08:47.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
Samoa, New Zealand, Tonga,

08:44.800 --> 08:49.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
and the Cook Islands,

08:46.233 --> 08:49.933 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:40%
plumeria species

08:47.533 --> 08:49.933 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:62.5%
are used for making leis.

08:56.566 --> 08:58.466 align:start position:10% line:10% size:37.5%
When my team at

08:57.266 --> 08:59.700 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65%
American Public Television

08:58.466 --> 09:00.633 align:start position:10% line:10% size:62.5%
learned I was planning on

08:59.700 --> 09:01.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%
bringing "Life in Bloom"

09:00.633 --> 09:03.166 align:start position:10% line:10% size:25%
to Hawaii,

09:01.600 --> 09:04.933 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%
they suggested I contact

09:03.166 --> 09:06.400 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%
the owner of Mud Hen Water,

09:04.933 --> 09:07.233 align:start position:10% line:10% size:37.5%
Chef Ed Kenney,

09:06.400 --> 09:08.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
who is also the host

09:07.233 --> 09:09.900 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
of PBS Hawaii's show

09:08.600 --> 09:11.333 align:start position:10% line:10% size:52.5%
"Family Ingredients."

09:09.900 --> 09:12.200 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65%
I love family ingredients,

09:11.333 --> 09:13.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:45%
so I was thrilled,

09:12.200 --> 09:15.200 align:start position:10% line:10% size:42.5%
to say the least,

09:13.033 --> 09:16.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65%
when Ed agreed to not only

09:15.200 --> 09:17.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65%
appear on "Life in Bloom,"

09:16.666 --> 09:19.133 align:start position:10% line:10% size:35%
but graciously

09:17.666 --> 09:20.633 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
and with much Aloha,

09:19.133 --> 09:21.300 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%
offered to prepare a recipe

09:20.633 --> 09:23.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
or two.

09:21.300 --> 09:25.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
Yes, please.

09:23.033 --> 09:26.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
>> Yeah, so

09:23.633 --> 09:27.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
as you said, this restaurant

09:25.533 --> 09:29.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
is called Mud Hen Water.

09:26.766 --> 09:30.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Okay.

09:27.633 --> 09:32.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> People ask me, "What kind of

09:29.266 --> 09:33.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
stupid name is that?"

09:30.733 --> 09:35.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
Mud Hen Water is actually

09:32.600 --> 09:35.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
the English translation

09:33.866 --> 09:38.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
of the road that we're on,

09:35.000 --> 09:39.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
Waialae.

09:35.766 --> 09:40.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
Wai is "water."

09:38.066 --> 09:41.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
Alae is the native Hawaiian

09:39.700 --> 09:42.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
"mud hen."

09:40.466 --> 09:44.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
As with most things in Hawaii,

09:41.900 --> 09:44.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
there's a legend, or a

09:42.666 --> 09:47.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
mo'olelo behind it.

09:44.133 --> 09:49.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Okay.

09:44.666 --> 09:50.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> And the red-faced

09:47.200 --> 09:52.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
native indigenous mud hen

09:49.200 --> 09:53.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
frequented a spring

09:50.966 --> 09:55.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
that was right here,

09:52.266 --> 09:56.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
and it became

09:53.266 --> 09:57.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
a community gathering place.

09:55.033 --> 09:58.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
So when we opened this

09:56.133 --> 09:59.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
restaurant, we saw

09:57.433 --> 10:01.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
this as an opportunity

09:58.500 --> 10:02.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
to tell that story.

09:59.733 --> 10:03.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
We created a watering hole,

10:01.100 --> 10:04.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
a community gathering place --

10:02.633 --> 10:05.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
Mud Hen Water.

10:03.766 --> 10:06.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
And that kind of goes along

10:04.766 --> 10:08.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
with what we do here.

10:05.600 --> 10:09.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
We're in Hawaii.

10:06.300 --> 10:11.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
We try to really lift up

10:08.300 --> 10:13.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
the unique aspects

10:09.766 --> 10:15.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
of this culture and history.

10:11.566 --> 10:16.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
So a lot of our food

10:13.166 --> 10:17.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
includes native ingredients,

10:15.266 --> 10:18.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
foraged wild ingredients,

10:16.766 --> 10:20.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
and that's

10:17.233 --> 10:21.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
what we've got here today.

10:18.600 --> 10:23.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
This dish is called

10:20.133 --> 10:24.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
The Big Five.

10:21.666 --> 10:26.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
On this dish,

10:23.033 --> 10:27.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
native ingredients.

10:24.500 --> 10:28.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
First off, ulu.

10:26.200 --> 10:28.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
This is also known as

10:27.533 --> 10:29.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
breadfruit.

10:28.166 --> 10:30.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
These are from the tree

10:28.900 --> 10:31.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
in my backyard.

10:29.733 --> 10:33.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Okay.

10:30.233 --> 10:34.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> Probably produces

10:31.066 --> 10:36.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
400 pounds of fruit a year.

10:33.500 --> 10:38.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
One little tree.

10:34.533 --> 10:38.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
So it's just prolific

10:36.233 --> 10:41.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
and it's delicious.

10:38.166 --> 10:43.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
Simple.

10:38.700 --> 10:43.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
Twice fried with fried herbs.

10:41.700 --> 10:44.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> I've seen it on your show a

10:43.400 --> 10:45.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%
lot.

10:43.733 --> 10:47.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> Oh, there you go.

10:44.466 --> 10:48.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> I know. Right? Right?

10:45.300 --> 10:51.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

10:47.733 --> 10:51.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
>> Oh, yeah.

10:48.700 --> 10:53.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> So, it's very bready

10:51.000 --> 10:54.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
when it's green,

10:51.966 --> 10:55.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
and then, when it's ripe,

10:53.100 --> 10:57.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
it turns almost into,

10:54.100 --> 10:58.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
like a crème brûlée custard

10:55.700 --> 10:59.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
with this tropical

10:57.100 --> 11:00.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
mango-banana flavor.

10:58.566 --> 11:03.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
So you can use it

10:59.400 --> 11:05.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
at all stages of ripeness.

11:00.966 --> 11:06.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
Here, we have native fern

11:03.633 --> 11:08.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
shoots, also known as ho'i'o.

11:05.733 --> 11:09.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
So, we make

11:06.600 --> 11:10.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
a simple salad out of that.

11:08.633 --> 11:12.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
It's actually got this --

11:09.933 --> 11:14.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
I don't know if you'll see

11:10.800 --> 11:16.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
this -- this slimy aspect to it.

11:12.933 --> 11:17.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
So what we've done is paired it

11:14.766 --> 11:19.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
with every slimy ingredient

11:16.333 --> 11:20.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
we can think of.

11:17.466 --> 11:23.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
There's okra in there.

11:19.000 --> 11:24.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
There's mountain yam

11:20.866 --> 11:25.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
in there, which is also slimy.

11:23.133 --> 11:27.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
I love it.

11:24.600 --> 11:30.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
Some people may find

11:25.866 --> 11:32.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
it a little challenging.

11:27.033 --> 11:32.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
This -- wood ear mushroom.

11:30.133 --> 11:34.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
In Hawaiian, it's called

11:32.166 --> 11:35.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
pepeiao.

11:32.833 --> 11:36.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
Pepeiao is actually

11:34.166 --> 11:39.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
the Hawaiian word for "ear."

11:35.433 --> 11:41.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
We use that in

11:36.600 --> 11:42.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
a crunchy kind of Szechuan slaw.

11:39.466 --> 11:43.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
Can't have a salad in Hawaii

11:41.266 --> 11:43.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
without pineapple.

11:42.433 --> 11:45.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
>> Right.

11:43.100 --> 11:46.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> It is introduced

11:43.866 --> 11:48.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
and it's not native,

11:45.200 --> 11:49.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
but people equate

11:46.966 --> 11:49.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
Hawaii with pineapple.

11:48.333 --> 11:51.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
Oh, I should actually

11:49.166 --> 11:54.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
probably point out

11:49.933 --> 11:55.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
that this dish right here

11:51.800 --> 11:56.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
is 100% locally grown.

11:54.166 --> 11:58.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
We are really making a concerted

11:55.533 --> 12:01.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
effort to support

11:56.233 --> 12:02.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
local agriculture and foragers,

11:58.233 --> 12:04.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
and so this dish is 100% local,

12:01.266 --> 12:05.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
except for the nori,

12:02.866 --> 12:06.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
which is seaweed

12:04.566 --> 12:09.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
that we ship in from Japan.

12:05.800 --> 12:09.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> What's this one over here?

12:06.766 --> 12:10.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> Roasted and raw roots from

12:09.033 --> 12:11.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
MA’O Organic Farm,

12:09.933 --> 12:13.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
the largest organic

12:10.800 --> 12:15.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
farm on the island.

12:11.800 --> 12:16.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
Purslane, which we refer to

12:13.933 --> 12:18.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
as "bus-stop vegetable."

12:15.700 --> 12:19.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
It grows out of the cracks

12:16.766 --> 12:20.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
in the sidewalk at the bus stop.

12:18.600 --> 12:22.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
But we have someone

12:19.533 --> 12:24.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
growing it for us.

12:20.933 --> 12:27.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
[ Both laugh ]

12:22.033 --> 12:29.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
Little smoked yogurt underneath.

12:24.300 --> 12:30.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
This is vegan or vegetarian,

12:27.700 --> 12:31.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
but lots of vegetarians swear

12:29.666 --> 12:33.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
that we snuck in bacon

12:30.966 --> 12:34.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
at some point,

12:31.866 --> 12:35.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
because the smoked yogurt

12:33.133 --> 12:36.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
kind of plays this trick

12:34.700 --> 12:37.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
on your brain thinking

12:35.700 --> 12:38.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
that you're eating bacon,

12:36.566 --> 12:39.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
but you're not.

12:37.800 --> 12:40.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
>> Wow.

12:38.933 --> 12:42.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
>> You want to dig in?

12:39.700 --> 12:44.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> I do.

12:40.200 --> 12:45.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
Okay, so, this one with the ear.

12:42.700 --> 12:46.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> Yeah. So, this is a fungus

12:44.200 --> 12:48.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
that you'll find

12:45.366 --> 12:49.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
when you're on hikes

12:46.400 --> 12:51.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
here up in the mountains.

12:48.233 --> 12:53.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
It often -- It sprouts out

12:49.766 --> 12:54.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
of fallen logs,

12:51.300 --> 12:56.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
like, decaying, rotting logs.

12:53.266 --> 12:57.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
And it grows

12:54.466 --> 12:59.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
out just in this fan shape.

12:56.266 --> 13:00.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
And more than flavor,

12:57.733 --> 13:01.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
it's a textural thing.

12:59.233 --> 13:02.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
So in this salad,

13:00.100 --> 13:05.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
it really adds kind of

13:01.233 --> 13:07.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
a textural crunch to it.

13:02.966 --> 13:09.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
Based on surf trips to Mexico

13:05.233 --> 13:11.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
and that part of the world,

13:07.800 --> 13:13.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
they use salt and lime

13:09.666 --> 13:15.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
and chili with their fruit.

13:11.100 --> 13:16.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
So we've kind of robbed that.

13:13.666 --> 13:19.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
And this has a very kind of

13:15.566 --> 13:21.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
Latin American,

13:16.733 --> 13:21.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
Mexican flavor profile.

13:19.666 --> 13:23.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> Okay, so, this is the smoky

13:21.266 --> 13:25.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
bacon.

13:21.833 --> 13:27.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> Yeah, the smoked yogurt

13:23.700 --> 13:27.833 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:65%
that gives the illusion of

13:25.000 --> 13:27.833 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:60%
bacon being in the dish.

13:30.966 --> 13:36.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> Mm-hmm. I got it.

13:33.400 --> 13:36.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

13:34.366 --> 13:38.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> That's amazing, too.

13:36.033 --> 13:40.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
>> Yeah, so,

13:36.633 --> 13:41.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
smoke attaches itself to fat.

13:38.366 --> 13:43.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
So, yogurt has fat,

13:40.866 --> 13:45.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
so it works really

13:41.733 --> 13:47.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
well in the smoker.

13:43.200 --> 13:49.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> It's all delicious, Ed.

13:45.333 --> 13:51.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
I mean, it has been a pleasure.

13:47.533 --> 13:52.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
So, I'm a huge fan so, you know,

13:49.833 --> 13:53.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
a little starstruck,

13:51.366 --> 13:54.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
which is awesome.

13:52.400 --> 13:55.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
But I appreciate so much

13:53.566 --> 13:56.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
that you opened up

13:54.333 --> 13:57.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
your restaurant to us,

13:55.333 --> 13:58.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
you allowed us to come here,

13:57.600 --> 13:59.633 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:32.5%
It's amazing.

13:58.733 --> 14:00.766 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55%
It's the aloha spirit.

13:59.633 --> 14:01.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
>> Yeah. Thanks for including us

14:00.766 --> 14:03.733 align:start position:10% line:10% size:45%
in your adventure.

14:01.666 --> 14:03.733 align:start position:10% line:15.33% size:35%
>> Absolutely.

14:12.133 --> 14:14.566 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%

Lei Day on "Life in Bloom,"

14:14.566 --> 14:17.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:62.5%
of course I wanted to see

14:16.000 --> 14:19.000 align:start position:10% line:10% size:70%
where lei flowers are grown.

14:17.666 --> 14:22.233 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%
And one of the most popular

14:19.000 --> 14:23.400 align:start position:10% line:10% size:70%
flowers for lei is plumeria.

14:22.233 --> 14:24.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55%
You can imagine my joy

14:23.400 --> 14:25.133 align:start position:10% line:10% size:42.5%
when I discovered

14:24.033 --> 14:26.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:52.5%

their 50th anniversary.

14:43.566 --> 14:45.466 align:start position:10% line:10% size:27.5%
>> Speaking

14:44.133 --> 14:46.800 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%
of flowers, right here,

14:45.466 --> 14:48.700 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65%
and we got Vera Cruz rose,

14:46.800 --> 14:49.333 align:start position:10% line:10% size:70%
which is -- smells just like

14:48.700 --> 14:50.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:42.5%
a rose, actually,

14:49.333 --> 14:52.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
as you pick it right here.

14:50.600 --> 14:55.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> It smells exactly like rose.

14:52.133 --> 14:56.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
It smells really good.

14:53.033 --> 14:57.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> It does! That's crazy.

14:55.366 --> 14:58.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> This whole area,

14:56.266 --> 14:59.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
with all these trees,

14:57.533 --> 15:02.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
you literally can just breathe

14:58.600 --> 15:04.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
in, and you'll smell that.

14:59.500 --> 15:06.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's magical.

15:02.700 --> 15:08.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
Your dad has hybridized

15:04.800 --> 15:10.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
how many varieties?

15:06.666 --> 15:11.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> Over 100 different varieties

15:08.433 --> 15:12.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
that my dad's put his JL

15:11.066 --> 15:14.033 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:62.5%
which is Jim Little stamp

15:12.233 --> 15:15.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:70%
of approval, to be released.

15:14.033 --> 15:16.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:75%
>> So, what are we looking for

15:15.600 --> 15:17.766 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55%
when we're looking for

15:16.666 --> 15:19.366 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%
a plumeria that your dad

15:17.766 --> 15:21.000 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%
would put his stamp on?

15:19.366 --> 15:23.433 align:start position:10% line:10% size:77.5%
>> So, one thing is, of course,

15:21.000 --> 15:24.700 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65%
the color can't be similar

15:23.433 --> 15:25.733 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
to any other variety

15:24.700 --> 15:27.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
that's out there.

15:25.733 --> 15:28.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
We don't want confusion.

15:27.000 --> 15:29.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
We want something unique.

15:27.866 --> 15:30.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
where, like --

15:28.400 --> 15:32.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
you know what I mean? --

15:29.066 --> 15:33.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
That's awesome.

15:30.633 --> 15:35.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
Fragrance is

15:32.300 --> 15:38.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
a very important part

15:33.766 --> 15:39.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
of selecting a flower for

15:35.700 --> 15:39.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
my dad's collection.

15:38.266 --> 15:40.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
We just want it to be

15:39.033 --> 15:41.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
strong and healthy.

15:39.833 --> 15:42.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
We don't want a weak tree.

15:40.966 --> 15:43.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
We want something

15:41.533 --> 15:45.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
that's going to grow for people

15:42.533 --> 15:47.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
when they purchase

15:43.133 --> 15:48.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
a hybrid cutting.

15:45.800 --> 15:49.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
It takes years, you know,

15:47.366 --> 15:50.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
up to 10 years,

15:48.366 --> 15:51.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
until we actually release

15:49.466 --> 15:53.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
something, because we have to

15:50.500 --> 15:54.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
kind of go through

15:51.433 --> 15:56.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
all these tests.

15:53.900 --> 15:59.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
Over here, this

15:54.633 --> 16:02.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
is one of my dad's rarest

15:56.400 --> 16:04.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
varieties, named JL Metallica.

15:59.033 --> 16:06.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
It's a purple-silver color with

16:02.500 --> 16:07.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
a kind of like a Pez --

16:04.833 --> 16:09.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
Was it candy-grape fragrance?

16:06.666 --> 16:10.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

16:07.866 --> 16:12.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
>> But just to have --

16:09.833 --> 16:13.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

16:10.866 --> 16:16.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
>> To have that

16:12.366 --> 16:17.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
really silver purple

16:13.866 --> 16:18.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
in the plumeria is very rare.

16:16.133 --> 16:19.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
So everyone

16:17.166 --> 16:20.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
in the plumeria world

16:18.033 --> 16:21.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
knows JL Metallica,

16:19.633 --> 16:23.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
and even the buds,

16:20.633 --> 16:23.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
you can see, have

16:21.766 --> 16:25.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
that purple silver.

16:23.066 --> 16:25.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
So it's a very,

16:23.966 --> 16:27.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
very beautiful tree

16:25.133 --> 16:28.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
and one of my dad's

16:25.900 --> 16:29.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
rarest varieties.

16:27.600 --> 16:31.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
>> So, yeah, this one

16:28.433 --> 16:32.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
is actually named after my mom.

16:29.700 --> 16:33.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
It's called JL Sandy.

16:31.200 --> 16:34.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
And it actually smells

16:32.500 --> 16:35.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
like baby powder.

16:33.366 --> 16:36.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
It's a really good

16:34.566 --> 16:37.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
lei flower, as well.

16:35.833 --> 16:37.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

16:36.400 --> 16:39.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> Isn't that crazy?

16:37.166 --> 16:40.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> You guys are just

16:37.900 --> 16:41.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
making me crazy with this.

16:39.066 --> 16:42.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
This is amazing.

16:40.533 --> 16:43.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
Yes, baby powder.

16:41.866 --> 16:45.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> Yeah, it's cool.

16:42.933 --> 16:47.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
It's crazy.

16:43.500 --> 16:50.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
In a lei, it smells even better.

16:45.766 --> 16:52.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> So, it has a different

16:47.400 --> 16:53.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
structure, because, I mean,

16:50.533 --> 16:55.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
how it's folded in the center --

16:52.100 --> 16:57.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> So, overlapping petals.

16:53.633 --> 16:58.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
It has that big punch of,

16:55.433 --> 16:59.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
like, a sunrise punch of color

16:57.466 --> 17:00.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
in the middle, like,

16:58.200 --> 17:01.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
kind of orange and yellow,

16:59.266 --> 17:03.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
and it's thicker.

17:00.400 --> 17:04.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
You feel the texture is thick,

17:01.933 --> 17:05.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
so it's good for lei-making.

17:03.400 --> 17:07.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
Every tree has its

17:04.700 --> 17:09.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
own little characteristics,

17:05.866 --> 17:10.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
but this one's a keeper, and

17:07.200 --> 17:12.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
my wife, Sandy, is very happy.

17:09.466 --> 17:13.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> Better be good, right?

17:10.266 --> 17:14.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
>> It better be, yes,

17:12.466 --> 17:15.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
or I'm gonna hear it.

17:13.466 --> 17:16.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
>> Right, right.

17:14.433 --> 17:18.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> So this is a keeper.

17:15.266 --> 17:20.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
>> That's amazing.

17:16.200 --> 17:23.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> So, this actually is called

17:18.300 --> 17:26.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
JL Hawaiian Coral,

17:20.366 --> 17:27.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
and it smells just like a peach.

17:23.566 --> 17:29.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
Take a whiff.

17:26.000 --> 17:31.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
[ Laughter ]

17:27.800 --> 17:32.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> You guys are killing me.

17:29.266 --> 17:34.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
This is amazing!

17:31.033 --> 17:35.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> It's a peach one

17:32.266 --> 17:36.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
and it's on the dot, on the dot.

17:34.166 --> 17:38.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> I mean, not just a peach.

17:35.033 --> 17:40.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
It is strong peach.

17:36.500 --> 17:41.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> It's a fresh peach, yeah,

17:38.433 --> 17:43.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
that you're slicing into, that

17:40.166 --> 17:45.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
you just picked off the tree.

17:41.333 --> 17:45.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
>> So this, in a lei,

17:43.066 --> 17:47.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
is unbelievable.

17:45.066 --> 17:48.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
>> Oh, yeah.

17:45.966 --> 17:49.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
>> Yes. It's awesome.

17:47.033 --> 17:51.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
And the color has, you know,

17:48.200 --> 17:52.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
Hawaiian coral just for

17:49.266 --> 17:53.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
kind of that pinkish color.

17:51.400 --> 17:54.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
Look at the blooms.

17:52.700 --> 17:56.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

17:53.266 --> 17:58.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> Every single stem has,

17:54.766 --> 17:58.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
like, a flower head on it,

17:56.166 --> 18:00.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
and it's, like, striking.

17:58.166 --> 18:01.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
It's like somebody went

17:58.966 --> 18:02.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
like this on the ground.

18:00.533 --> 18:03.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
and threw

18:01.233 --> 18:04.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
some aloha on the ground,

18:02.533 --> 18:05.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
and just nature does --

18:03.833 --> 18:07.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
take in its course.

18:04.666 --> 18:09.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
So it's really.

18:05.700 --> 18:11.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
>> It's so true.

18:07.100 --> 18:12.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
So, when you mention aloha,

18:09.900 --> 18:14.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
how do you guys --

18:11.000 --> 18:14.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
how would you describe

18:12.433 --> 18:16.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
the aloha spirit?

18:14.100 --> 18:18.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
>> I mean,

18:14.666 --> 18:19.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
aloha means love, of course.

18:16.366 --> 18:21.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
And, like, what we do here

18:18.566 --> 18:22.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
at the farm

18:19.333 --> 18:23.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
is basically share our aloha

18:21.800 --> 18:24.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
from ourselves

18:22.633 --> 18:25.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
and with the flowers.

18:23.733 --> 18:27.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
>> Right.

18:24.266 --> 18:29.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> There's so many different

18:25.166 --> 18:30.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
varieties, and just, I mean,

18:27.966 --> 18:31.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
aloha is special, right?

18:29.433 --> 18:33.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
It's a special thing.

18:30.433 --> 18:35.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
And for us to be able to share

18:31.900 --> 18:36.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
it, you know, through these

18:33.700 --> 18:40.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
plumerias is kind of exciting.

18:35.666 --> 18:41.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
>> Someone told me

18:36.600 --> 18:42.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
that if aloha spirit could be

18:40.333 --> 18:44.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
a physical thing

18:41.200 --> 18:45.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
that we could put our hands on,

18:42.733 --> 18:48.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
it would be a lei.

18:44.400 --> 18:49.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
And I think a lei from

18:45.666 --> 18:50.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
Little Plumeria Farm is --

18:48.700 --> 18:52.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
that's aloha spirit, you guys.

18:49.966 --> 18:53.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
That's what you're doing,

18:50.933 --> 18:55.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
and that's amazing.

18:52.900 --> 18:56.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
That's the best thing.

18:55.666 --> 18:58.166 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:50%
So thank you so much

18:56.866 --> 18:58.966 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%
for letting me be here.

18:58.166 --> 18:59.733 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%
>> Thank you for coming.

18:58.966 --> 19:01.000 align:start position:10% line:10% size:47.5%
>> Thank you, yeah,

18:59.733 --> 19:01.833 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%
for the kind words, man.

19:01.000 --> 19:02.833 align:start position:10% line:10% size:25%
I'm stoked

19:01.833 --> 19:03.966 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%
that you really feel it,

19:02.833 --> 19:06.100 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55%
because that is aloha,

19:03.966 --> 19:06.100 align:start position:10% line:15.33% size:72.5%
you know, and that's awesome.

19:12.233 --> 19:14.866 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
>> As we've learned,

19:13.066 --> 19:16.133 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
there are many types of lei, and

19:14.866 --> 19:17.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
I wanted to experience them all,

19:16.133 --> 19:18.700 align:start position:10% line:10% size:25%
of course.

19:17.033 --> 19:19.766 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%
Naturally, I was elated

19:18.700 --> 19:21.166 align:start position:10% line:10% size:47.5%
when lei-maker, lei

19:19.766 --> 19:22.266 align:start position:10% line:10% size:52.5%
historian, and author

19:21.166 --> 19:23.433 align:start position:10% line:10% size:32.5%
Meleana Estes

19:22.266 --> 19:25.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55%
accepted my invitation

19:23.433 --> 19:27.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
to appear on our lei show.

19:25.600 --> 19:30.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
When I mentioned Meleana and

19:27.233 --> 19:31.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
"Lei Aloha" to Ed Kenney,

19:28.933 --> 19:33.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
he generously offered

19:30.166 --> 19:36.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
for us to meet with Meleana

19:31.466 --> 19:38.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
at his place to discuss her book

19:33.600 --> 19:39.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
and the profound culture of lei.

19:36.266 --> 19:40.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
You are the author of

19:38.633 --> 19:41.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
"Lei Aloha"

19:39.400 --> 19:42.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> Me and Jenny Fiedler, yes,

19:40.633 --> 19:44.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
my co-author.

19:41.400 --> 19:44.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> This book is so beautiful

19:42.900 --> 19:45.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
and has so much information

19:44.100 --> 19:47.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
inside it.

19:44.733 --> 19:48.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
So, today,

19:45.800 --> 19:49.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
you are going to teach us --

19:47.133 --> 19:50.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
This is kind of your signature

19:48.566 --> 19:51.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
lei, the po'o lei.

19:49.533 --> 19:53.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> Yeah. But this style of lei,

19:50.600 --> 19:53.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
some people want to call it --

19:51.633 --> 19:54.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
Well, it's a lei po'o -- worn on

19:53.066 --> 19:56.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
your head.

19:53.800 --> 19:57.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
Po'o is "head." Head lei.

19:54.766 --> 19:59.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
But, really, it means to wind.

19:56.433 --> 20:00.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
But you can also do

19:57.700 --> 20:02.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
a couple other techniques.

19:59.533 --> 20:03.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
And I just wanted to show you.

20:00.933 --> 20:04.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
So, there's a hili, which is

20:02.500 --> 20:05.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
to just braid one material.

20:03.700 --> 20:07.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
And so that's

20:04.266 --> 20:08.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
often done with fern.

20:05.966 --> 20:09.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
What you do is, you just braid

20:07.233 --> 20:10.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
the stems of the fern.

20:08.300 --> 20:11.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
And then, sometimes,

20:09.400 --> 20:12.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
you can do a braid

20:10.533 --> 20:13.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
and then adding a material,

20:11.800 --> 20:15.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
and that's te hipu’u.

20:12.866 --> 20:15.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
And you're wearing

20:13.500 --> 20:16.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
lei a'i, which is worn

20:15.333 --> 20:17.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
on your neck.

20:15.833 --> 20:18.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
All of these were made

20:16.766 --> 20:20.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
in a kui method,

20:17.666 --> 20:20.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
which is with needle and thread,

20:18.900 --> 20:21.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
sewn, yeah.

20:20.066 --> 20:23.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
Kui is to sew.

20:20.833 --> 20:24.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
>> Kui is to sew.

20:21.533 --> 20:25.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

20:23.333 --> 20:27.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
Yeah, so, when I make this style

20:24.733 --> 20:28.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
of lei,

20:25.800 --> 20:29.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
my teacher used to say something

20:27.066 --> 20:31.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
pretty dramatic and fun

20:28.366 --> 20:32.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
at her lei workshops,

20:29.266 --> 20:34.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
which is true, is that she says,

20:31.633 --> 20:35.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
"This is your first day

20:32.866 --> 20:36.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
of your life as a lei-maker,

20:34.466 --> 20:37.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
of your new life as a

20:35.733 --> 20:37.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
lei-maker,

20:36.233 --> 20:38.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
and you're going to see

20:37.000 --> 20:39.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
the world in a totally

20:37.833 --> 20:41.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
different way

20:38.433 --> 20:42.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
once you start doing this."

20:39.700 --> 20:43.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
And it really is true, because,

20:41.366 --> 20:45.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
you know, you start to notice,

20:42.433 --> 20:46.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
like, a plant like this,

20:43.600 --> 20:46.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
which is a hedge, it's a croton.

20:45.366 --> 20:47.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
There's so many different

20:46.100 --> 20:48.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
varieties of crotons.

20:46.766 --> 20:48.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
>> Right.

20:47.300 --> 20:50.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> And you start thinking,

20:48.100 --> 20:52.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
"Oh, I could actually take

20:48.800 --> 20:52.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
these pieces of the croton

20:50.866 --> 20:53.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
and, you know, use them in my

20:52.000 --> 20:54.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%
lei.

20:52.333 --> 20:55.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
And I could maybe loop them

20:53.333 --> 20:57.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
like this or I could stick

20:54.700 --> 20:58.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
them out of my lei."

20:55.633 --> 21:00.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
So you really start to, like,

20:57.233 --> 21:00.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
take in your world

20:58.100 --> 21:02.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
in a sort of different way,

21:00.333 --> 21:02.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
you know?

21:00.900 --> 21:04.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
And even this -- this is

21:02.066 --> 21:05.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
actually called bleeding heart.

21:02.900 --> 21:07.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
It's a terrible weed,

21:04.100 --> 21:08.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
but it's really great in lei.

21:05.966 --> 21:09.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
You know, this is little.

21:07.000 --> 21:10.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
And bougainvillea.

21:08.166 --> 21:12.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
You see this everywhere.

21:09.600 --> 21:13.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
This is called hinahina,

21:10.966 --> 21:14.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
but it's not real hinahina.

21:12.100 --> 21:15.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
It's really Spanish moss.

21:13.866 --> 21:15.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
>> Right.

21:14.433 --> 21:16.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> So, I'll do something like

21:15.466 --> 21:18.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
this with this

21:15.966 --> 21:21.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
and kind of bunch it up

21:16.933 --> 21:22.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
to kind of give a wild flare.

21:18.733 --> 21:23.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
And this is pohinahina,

21:21.233 --> 21:24.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
another kind of

21:22.366 --> 21:25.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
silvery ground cover

21:23.400 --> 21:26.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
that is found a lot

21:24.366 --> 21:28.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
in coastal areas.

21:25.900 --> 21:30.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
that has kind of this

21:26.866 --> 21:31.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
eucalyptus smell to it,

21:28.133 --> 21:33.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
but it's really quite sturdy,

21:30.333 --> 21:33.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
and I love it.

21:31.700 --> 21:35.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
This is akia.

21:33.300 --> 21:38.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
This is

21:33.700 --> 21:39.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
another native to Hawaii, akia.

21:35.866 --> 21:40.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
So, this is our lehua mamo,

21:38.533 --> 21:42.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
or yellow lehua.

21:39.366 --> 21:43.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
We really don't pick

21:40.833 --> 21:44.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
this anymore in the wild.

21:42.500 --> 21:45.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
When it's in your own backyard

21:43.866 --> 21:46.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
or your uncle's

21:44.466 --> 21:47.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
and they test it,

21:45.300 --> 21:48.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
and, you know, it's a healthy

21:46.300 --> 21:50.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
tree, it's okay.

21:47.833 --> 21:50.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
So, I always start with my

21:48.933 --> 21:51.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
three raffia.

21:50.033 --> 21:52.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Okay.

21:50.533 --> 21:53.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> It's like raffia, so

21:51.333 --> 21:54.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
it's a natural material.

21:52.333 --> 21:55.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
So, there's going to be

21:53.066 --> 21:56.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
three pieces,

21:54.200 --> 21:56.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
and you want to leave

21:55.000 --> 21:58.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
a little to tie around.

21:56.100 --> 21:58.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
It's kind of small,

21:56.733 --> 21:59.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
but it's a tie around your head

21:58.000 --> 22:01.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
and so, you know,

21:58.800 --> 22:02.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
you have something

21:59.633 --> 22:04.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
to make it secure on your head.

22:01.100 --> 22:05.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
So, this is where I start.

22:02.200 --> 22:06.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
This is the piko,

22:04.200 --> 22:08.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
the start of the lei.

22:05.500 --> 22:09.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
Start with some lovely

22:06.900 --> 22:11.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
Polyphylla fern here.

22:08.466 --> 22:12.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
And then, if you can see,

22:09.900 --> 22:14.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
I'm taking one of the pieces.

22:11.200 --> 22:18.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
So the two are your backbone,

22:12.800 --> 22:20.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
and one piece is just going to

22:14.133 --> 22:21.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
be wrapped around these and...

22:18.733 --> 22:21.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
But see how I leave like an inch

22:20.166 --> 22:22.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
of stems?

22:21.000 --> 22:23.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
Because that's

22:21.500 --> 22:23.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
what develops this, like, face.

22:22.366 --> 22:24.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
>> That's what's going

22:23.200 --> 22:24.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
to hold on to it.

22:23.766 --> 22:25.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

22:24.300 --> 22:27.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
>> Right.

22:24.833 --> 22:28.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> And you just keep laying

22:25.933 --> 22:28.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
things on that face.

22:27.533 --> 22:30.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
So, I'm just gonna --

22:28.200 --> 22:31.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> I'm surprised at

22:28.900 --> 22:31.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
how similar it is to the way

22:30.133 --> 22:33.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
that I construct the flower

22:31.000 --> 22:34.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
crown.

22:31.400 --> 22:35.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> Yeah. It's really -- It's

22:33.000 --> 22:36.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
quite -- And I like this style

22:34.500 --> 22:38.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
because it is easier,

22:35.900 --> 22:39.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
you know, to fold

22:36.833 --> 22:40.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
and grab, and it helps to do it

22:38.566 --> 22:41.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
on a table

22:39.500 --> 22:42.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
if you're a new lei-maker,

22:40.700 --> 22:42.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
you know, so you kind of --

22:41.466 --> 22:43.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> 'Cause you'll have a

22:42.300 --> 22:44.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
flat back.

22:42.733 --> 22:45.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
>> You're gonna

22:43.366 --> 22:46.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
have a flat back.

22:44.000 --> 22:47.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
You have to have a flat back.

22:45.600 --> 22:48.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
See how I'm

22:46.100 --> 22:49.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
kind of going greens, and then

22:47.366 --> 22:50.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
I might add some more color.

22:48.766 --> 22:51.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
And then, actually, I'm going

22:49.566 --> 22:53.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
to do a trick here.

22:50.166 --> 22:54.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
I'm going to put this behind,

22:51.866 --> 22:56.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
because I want it to sort of

22:53.833 --> 22:57.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
back the lei and have

22:54.766 --> 22:58.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
the greens come out that way.

22:56.266 --> 22:58.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> So, how long does it take

22:57.200 --> 23:00.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
you to make a lei?

22:58.200 --> 23:02.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> Well, that depends on

22:58.966 --> 23:03.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
how -- About an hour.

23:00.666 --> 23:04.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
>> Okay. Oh, wow.

23:02.333 --> 23:05.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> So, you can kind of see

23:03.233 --> 23:06.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
the pattern.

23:04.366 --> 23:07.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
>> So, a little bit

23:05.166 --> 23:08.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
of lei etiquette.

23:06.666 --> 23:09.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

23:07.166 --> 23:10.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> You should never -- If

23:08.366 --> 23:11.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
someone presents you with a lei,

23:09.766 --> 23:13.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
you should never take it off

23:10.766 --> 23:14.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
in their presence.

23:11.466 --> 23:15.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
>> Probably not.

23:13.366 --> 23:15.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
>> That's bad form. Okay.

23:14.533 --> 23:16.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
We should dispose of it

23:15.400 --> 23:18.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
properly.

23:15.966 --> 23:19.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
>> Yes.

23:16.733 --> 23:19.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> And, so, people told us to

23:18.166 --> 23:20.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
hang it from trees,

23:19.100 --> 23:21.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
or they place it --

23:19.800 --> 23:22.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
or they unstring it

23:20.866 --> 23:23.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
and return to the earth.

23:21.666 --> 23:24.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

23:22.166 --> 23:25.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
So, that's a big deal there --

23:23.266 --> 23:26.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
unstringing.

23:24.333 --> 23:26.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
I just have a hard time

23:25.166 --> 23:27.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
throwing them way, you know?

23:26.233 --> 23:28.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
And I wouldn't

23:26.866 --> 23:30.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ever throw it away, actually.

23:27.633 --> 23:31.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
I'd just lay it there,

23:28.866 --> 23:32.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
and, eventually, you can cut

23:30.700 --> 23:34.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
the string and let the flowers

23:31.966 --> 23:35.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
go onto your yard,

23:32.800 --> 23:36.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
and it just helps mulch it.

23:34.300 --> 23:36.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> So, when I met you today,

23:35.366 --> 23:37.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
you brought a lei for me.

23:36.066 --> 23:40.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

23:36.566 --> 23:41.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> I mean, and that's amazing.

23:37.700 --> 23:42.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
And it smells amazing.

23:40.600 --> 23:43.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

23:41.266 --> 23:45.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> And it's just wonderful.

23:42.666 --> 23:45.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
And I love that

23:43.566 --> 23:48.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
I can wear flowers all the time.

23:45.366 --> 23:50.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

23:45.866 --> 23:51.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> And I hope that your book,

23:48.000 --> 23:52.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
as well as this series,

23:50.566 --> 23:52.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
can help encourage people

23:51.466 --> 23:53.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
to wear lei all the time.

23:52.200 --> 23:54.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
>> All the time.

23:52.866 --> 23:55.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
There's never a bad time. Yeah.

23:53.733 --> 23:56.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> And it doesn't have to be

23:54.566 --> 23:56.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
on the island.

23:55.300 --> 23:57.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
It could be anywhere.

23:56.133 --> 23:58.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
>> Yeah.

23:56.666 --> 23:59.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> It's been a treat to meet

23:58.533 --> 24:00.766 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:40%
I love the book.

23:59.233 --> 24:01.633 align:start position:10% line:10% size:72.5%
It's one of my favorites now.

24:00.766 --> 24:03.966 align:start position:10% line:10% size:52.5%
>> Thank you so much.

24:01.633 --> 24:03.966 align:start position:10% line:15.33% size:80%
Thank you so much for having me.

24:07.733 --> 24:10.166 align:start position:10% line:10% size:77.5%
>> I hope you've enjoyed Part 1

24:09.000 --> 24:12.266 align:start position:10% line:10% size:52.5%
of our deep dive into

24:10.166 --> 24:13.133 align:start position:10% line:10% size:72.5%
the culture of lei in Hawaii,

24:12.266 --> 24:14.866 align:start position:10% line:10% size:42.5%
and there's still

24:13.133 --> 24:16.400 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55%
so much more to learn.

24:14.866 --> 24:18.200 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%
In Part 2, we'll experience

24:16.400 --> 24:20.233 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%
a generational pua kenikeni

24:18.200 --> 24:21.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:72.5%
tree, learn more about nature

24:20.233 --> 24:22.766 align:start position:10% line:10% size:35%
and lei, along

24:21.600 --> 24:24.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:47.5%
with its symbolism,

24:22.766 --> 24:25.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:62.5%
building up to the annual

24:24.033 --> 24:26.433 align:start position:10% line:10% size:37.5%
Lei Day contest

24:25.033 --> 24:28.066 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%
and special celebration

24:26.433 --> 24:29.366 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%
you won't want to miss.

24:28.066 --> 24:31.366 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
For "Life in Bloom,"

24:29.366 --> 24:32.100 align:start position:10% line:10% size:37.5%
I'm J Schwanke.

24:31.366 --> 24:34.700 align:start position:10% line:10% size:52.5%
>> Where you're from,

24:32.100 --> 24:36.100 align:start position:10% line:10% size:62.5%
you've got ramps, morels,

24:34.700 --> 24:38.466 align:start position:10% line:10% size:42.5%
fiddlehead ferns.

24:36.100 --> 24:39.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:47.5%
>> Peonies, tulips.

24:38.466 --> 24:40.333 align:start position:10% line:10% size:72.5%
All of those things that need

24:39.666 --> 24:41.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:50%
to have that winter.

24:40.333 --> 24:41.533 align:start position:10% line:10% size:22.5%
>> Right.

24:41.033 --> 24:42.400 align:start position:10% line:10% size:20%
>> Yeah,

24:41.533 --> 24:44.466 align:start position:10% line:10% size:70%
they need to have that rest.

24:42.400 --> 24:45.366 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60%

24:47.066 --> 24:50.100 align:start position:10% line:10% size:62.5%
that winter die-off here,

24:48.200 --> 24:51.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
so it really affects our ability

24:50.100 --> 24:52.533 align:start position:10% line:10% size:37.5%
to go out there

24:51.033 --> 24:53.333 align:start position:10% line:10% size:57.5%

in a place

25:05.700 --> 25:07.266 align:start position:10% line:10% size:67.5%
