Perhaps nowhere in the world are flowers used as 
lavishly for decorations as in Hawaii. Anthuriums, 
Orchids, Callas, Strelitzias, Torch Ginger, Nymph- 
aeas and Easter lilies on Memorial Day at Hilo. 
Bamboo in jardinieres are also favored as decorative 
plants in Japan. Behind it, a beggar monk on a 
Kyoto street. 
In Hawaii, practically every woman wears flowers 
in her hair, and visitors are welcomed with leis made 
of Vandas or Frangipani blossoms. 
Rhapis are the most popular Palms used in Japan. 
They are found growing in Chiba-ken, dug and re- 
established in jardinieres. Rhapis are durable; used 
here at the entrance to this typical home in Nara.
