Lehua Honey is for Lovers

Posted by on

Lehua blossom on Ohia tree
The Lehua blossom, the source of Ohia-Lehua honey, inspired an Hawaiian legend of love and fidelity and is based on the story of two Hawaiian lovers, prince Ohia and princess Lehua, and their commitment to one another.

Ohia-Lehua honey is a popular wedding favor in Hawaii and is an inspired gift for any romantic occasion.

For a more complete complete discussion of the legend, and to learn why picking a Lehua blossom allegedly causes rain, see our Lehua page.
