Performance yet again another wonderful time with Kawika and his dancers at the Ilikai hotel in Waikiki ,this song featured two Kane or male dancers wearing kukui nut leis which are very common now days , they are wearing the head lei or Lei po'o made out of very sturdy Hawaiian ferns called laua'e ;
~~ Hawaiian Laua’e Fern, Microsorum spectrum. Somewhat confusingly, these two attractive fern species in Hawai‘i share the name laua‘e. One is endemic to these islands, i.e., found only in Hawaii(Microsorum spectrum); the other hails from Western Australia (Microsorum scolopendria).
The common Laua’e fern was introduced to Hawaii in the late 1910s and has subsequently naturalized and is found on all main islands. More beautiful and far less common, the native Hawaiian laua‘e (Microsorum spectrum) grows in rain-soaked, low-elevation forest - though you’re more likely to find it in a greenhouse than in the wild. The Hawaiian laua‘e also exudes a signature scent, one celebrated in old chants and mele (songs). The native Hawaiian laua‘e (Microsorum spectrum) is so rare it has been replaced in cultural hula practices with the non-native - Taken from : htbg.com/common-lauae-fern/
This chants honors #queens Kapiolani with King David King David Kalakaua who was her husband and #hawaii awaii's last male monarch .
