Lei Puakenikeni is on a white background and is 1.07 inches x 12 inches

Puakenikeni means ten-cent flower, pua meaning "flower" and kenikeni meaning "ten cents." Its name is derived from the early 1900's when visitors arrived by boat, and one could purchase Lei Puakenikeni for 10 cents. Lei trio includes Lei Pakalana, Lei Pīkake, Puakenikeni - what we love to call the power trio. This iconic symbol of aloha plays a key role in Hawaiian culture. Lei symbolizes love, honor, and friendship. Often used for gifting, greeting, and honoring or marking a special occasion, lei is something truly special to Hawaiʻi.

The pepili wainola (vinyl stickers) are weatherproof and are able to withstand exposure to wind, rain and sunlight.
