May Our Love Last Forever

In Hawaiian legend the naupaka flower represents lovers who were tragically separated. Like the lovers, one half of the flower was banished to the mountains and the other to the ocean's sandy shore. In this Ka Palapala Male showing both the Koolau mountains and Kaneohe Bay, the naupaka flowers - like the lovers - are once again whole and joined forever.
