The Hawaiian tuberose is small and white and has a luminescence and fragrance that makes it a renowned blossom. The scent is a strong, sweet one that lasts a long time, and the fragrance has been shown to lower stress. The natural color of this tiny flower is white, and it can be tinted blue, pink, purple, green and yellow. A fresh tuberose lei is delicate.
