A lei is a flower necklace from Hawaii. The flower used most is the hibiscus or the orchid. May First is called "Lei Day" in Hawaii.
Leis were originally worn by ancient Polynesians and some Asian people as part of custom. Ancient Hawaiians adorned themselves with teeth, bones, sticks or kukui nuts. Later on, leis were made with braided leaves, flowers, shells and feathers. Early leis were given as gifts to one another, or as a sign of love and devotion to Hawaiian gods.
