Tuesday nights are Bible study nights at Kaala and Andrea’s house. Yesterday also happened to be their 36th wedding anniversary.
To celebrate the anniversary, one of the other Bible study people got them lei(s). (I think you’re not supposed to use S to make Hawaiian words plural, but I don’t know how that plays out in every day speech)
Kaala’s lei was tuberose flowers. They were incredibly fragrant. He took them off of his neck and put them on the exercise bicycle – directly behind me. I smelled their delicious scent all evening.
Mmm…
I grew tuberose flowers in my garden for a few years. The cut flowers would make the whole house smell wonderful. I should grow them again.
I can’t get over how you are all saying ‘tuberose’. Is it ‘tuber’ and ‘rose’ all smushed together? Tuberose. Tuberose. Tuberose.
Regardless of the name, those look incredible – like they are carved from soap!
I pronounce it tuber-rose. But say it fast. There is no break.
