ŌLA‘A BEAUTY
 Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, 2008



(Frank Hewett wrote this song to elaborate on the delicateness of the Ola‘a Beauty, a unique flower that grows wild in the uplands in the fields and along the roadsides near his home in Ola‘a near Hilo, Hawai‘i. The flower has velvety dark violet petals and blooms in the spring and summer. The lei is called nani-o-Ola‘a.)
