As if I had nothing else to do, I decided to see if I could make a miniature lei with real flowers. I found some white heather (ERICA DARLEYENSIS ‘MEDITERRANEAN WHITE’) blooming in my garden, took a few stems with flowers, and sewed them onto a thread. It worked. I am hoping to be able to buy a real life-size lei to wear during the flower show.
