Some of the most commonly use lei flowers include plumeria, dendrobiumorchids, white ginger, red ginger, pikake, ilima, gardenias, tuberoses and carnations but many other flowers can also be used.
The most common tropical flower used in making leis is the Ilima. This is actually the type of flower used in ancient times for various royals, as well as today. This type of flower is only an inch in diameter and varies in color, which makes it a beautiful choice for the leis.
