What does LEHUA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
The flower of the ohia tree, a red or occasionally yellow blossom native to the Hawaiian Islands.
Lehua blossoms grow in tight, tufted clusters on the ohia lehua tree and are strongly associated with Hawaiian culture, appearing in songs, legends, and traditional lei-making. The flower is closely tied to the volcano goddess Pele in Hawaiian storytelling, and picking it is sometimes said to bring rain. Because the ohia tree can grow on fresh lava fields, the lehua flower is also seen as a symbol of new life after volcanic destruction.
