Q:
If I want to send flowers to a man, are there any rules?
A: Well, not necessarily rules but a few things to keep in mind:
* First of all remember... men love flowers. A survey conducted
by the Society of American Florists showed that over 60% of men
surveyed would like to receive flowers on Valentine's Day. Similar
research has turned up the same information, so don't be shy. *
Men are stimulated by color and are visually oriented. Research
shows that men prefer vivid colors such as yellow, orange and red.(The
colors of many exotic Hawaiian tropicals). * Most men prefer a linear
style of design rather than a "fluffy" one.
Q:
Won't a man be embarrassed if I send flowers to him?
A: No! Men love to get flowers for the same reason they send
them...to be recognized. Everyone likes to feel special. Sometimes
women are surprised to find out that men love flowers too but we
have known this for years! Men have sent flowers as a gift of choice
for decades. Turn about is fair play. Many men today buy flowers
not only as a gift but for their own homes and offices.
Q:
What colors and styles are good for a man?
A: Men respond to bright, vivid colors such as orange, red,
purple, bright yellow and gold. Flower arrangements that are contemporary,
linear styles or natural styles are best. Other favorites might
include green or flowering plants. We can offer creative suggestions
for flowers that are sure to please.
Q:
When is a good occasion to send flowers to a man for the first time?
What about later?
A: A good indicator of when it might be appropriate to send
flowers would be to consider his favorite occasions for sending
them. Does he send flowers for birthdays, or perhaps as a thank
you? Then surprise him with flowers on his birthday. Other good
times might be to celebrate a success at work. A party or barbecue
would be a great time to bring a casual table centerpiece or loose
flowers as a host gift. And just as women love receiving flowers
for no reason at all, it would surely catch his attention too. Another
great reason, is to remember your romantic time on the islands.
Q:
What's the weather like in Maui?
A: Weather on all of the Hawaiian islands is very consistent,
with only moderate changes in temperature throughout the year. This
is possible due to the year-round warm sea surface temperatures,
which keeps the overlying atmosphere warm as well. In practical
terms there are only two seasons here: the summer months (called
Kau in Hawaiian) that extend from May to October, and the winter
months (Ho'oilo) that run from November to April. The average daytime
summer temperature at sea level is 85°F (29.4°C), while the average
daytime winter temperature is 78°F (25.6°C). Nighttime temperatures
are approximately 10°F lower. Visitors to Hawaii will find that
it is a marvel of nature. As a result of the shielding effect of
her volcanic mountains and the differences in weather found at various
elevations, there are as many different climate zones here as exist
along the entire coast stretching from Alaska to Costa Rica. The
islands can be described as an incredibly diverse collection of
many micro-environments, each possessing unique weather, plants
and animals. To see the full impact of this natural wealth, visitors
only need to explore the islands by car or helicopter, and they
will be struck by the beauty of tropical rain forests, cool alpine
regions, stony deserts and sunny beaches, all within the span of
just a few short miles.
Q:
What more can you tell us about Maui?
A: Those fortunate enough to live on Maui have a favorite saying,
"Maui No Ka Oi," which means "Maui is the Best,"
and it's no surprise. Conde Nast Traveler magazine also named Maui
the "Best Island in the World," and this island paradise
continues to win awards as a top travel destination.
