Nā pua = the flowers

9 03 2024

No Hawaiian language class this morning, but if there was, I would share this moʻolelo (story). Keep reading for the translation.

I koʻu holoholo wāwae i ka wahi noho kokoke mamua ae ka ʻaina kakahiaka, ua nāna au i kekahi mau pua: nā kokiʻo, ka manakō, ka pua lei aliʻi, ka niu, ka pua manu.  E nani e!

On my walk around the neighborhood this morning, I saw some flowers [pictured from top to bottom]: hibiscuses, mango, crown flower, coconut, and bird of paradise. Beautiful!

E nānā kākou ana nā pua. Look for the flowers and be well.

Keeping it simple

Thought I’d keep it simple this morning, showing the many faces of the red hibiscus blooming on the hedge. I brewed a cup of tea with the petals. The liquid is a pretty cyan blue color! Enjoy!  ~ Rebekah
