Flower-themed Events Are In Bloom
October means the onset of fall, but in Honolulu it’s shap- ing up to be flower season, with several floral-focused events underway or on the horizon.
Flowers of Aloha
For a more metaphori- cal take on blooms, there’s Flowers of Hawai‘i by local playwright Lee Cataluna. This collection of four of her plays (Flowers of Hawai‘i, Aloha Attire, Great Kaua‘i Train Robbery and Uncle’s Regularly Scheduled Ga- rage Party is Cancelled To- night) was published by Ho- nolulu-based Bamboo Ridge Press. A virtual event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 21 as part of the Hawai‘i Book and Music Festival. Visit ha- waiibookandmusicfestival. com.
Ward Centre welcomed floral salon Gentle Beast to its shopping center. The
brainchild of flo- rist Kai Nainoa, the 1,600-square-foot space will feature floral installations, a tea and pastries parlor, flower arrangement workshops and yoga classes. Gen- tleBeastfirstblossomed in Nainoa’s kitchen two years ago.
