Leis are traditionally a symbol for celebration, made up of a fragrant garland of flowers. In Southern California, the most popular leis are made from dendrobium orchids, in either purple or white. Commonly given when someone is arriving and leaving, a lei is perfect to give to high school and college graduates as they venture on to a new stage of life.
