Graduation Leis

graduation lei
It's June again, time for graduations. For a florist, that means one thing--tropical leis.

Technically, lei is hawaiian for garland. It can be any flower or natural material strung together and worn around the neck. In Southern California, the most popular leis are made from dendrobian orchids, either in purple or white.

The recommended way to wear a lei is around the shoulders, draping it in the front and the back. Also, it is typical to give the recipient a kiss on the cheek when presenting the lei.

As you might guess, Visser's Florist and Greenhouses is a great place to buy your graduation leis. We have dendrobian leis starting at $39.99. They are a great little gift for your graduate. Call us today at (714) 772-9900 or stop by the shop.
