In Hawaii there
is a commontree in the forest
called the Ohia
tree, that is im-
portant in Ha-
waiian culture. It
bears beautiful
flowers called
Lehua blossoms.
Occasionally
these blossomsare yellow or or-
ange, but the
most
common
color is
red.
There is
a legend
associ-
atedwith the
Ohia
tree and
it's blos-
soms.
The Legend of Ohia and Lehua
One day Pele, the goddess of the volcano,
met a handsome young man named Ohia.She desired to have him as her sweet-
heart. He confessed that he already was
in love with another young girl, Lehua.
This enraged Pele and she used her
magical powers to transform the young
man into the ugly Ohia tree. Lehua was
terribly sad and pleaded with Pele to re-
turn the young man back to his human
form. Pele refused so Lehua begged the
gods to help her to be reunited with Ohia.Instead of changing Ohia back to a hu-
man, the gods transformed Lehua into a
lovely red blossom to adorn the Ohia
tree. Now when anyone picks a Lehua
blossom, it will rain because the lovers
have been separated.Top: Example of a!esh Lehua Lei
