" In Hawaii,
we greet friends,
loved ones
or strangers
with Aloha,
which means love.
Aloha is the key word
to the universal spirit
of real hospitality,
which makes Hawaii
renowned
as the world's center
of understanding
and fellowship.
Try meeting
or leaving people
with Aloha.
You'll be surprised
by their reaction.
I believe it
and it is my creed.
Aloha to you."

I will admit Aloha sounds much more mellifluous to the ear than the usual Detroit greeting or parting gesture.

Love the purple curly hibiscus. The one I planted, shipped from Kauai, was called Cajun Blue, but I don't know if it's going to pop up in Kansas. Some other ones have, but yellow, whites, and bluesies aren't so common. Aloha, DrumMajor
