I woke before dawn on my first morning on the Hawaiian island of Kauai Stumbling to my hotel room’s double glass doors, I looked outside. Rain splattered down, rustling the coconut palms and luxuriant foliage. I opened the door and walked into the moist air. Just outside was a stand of spider lilies, their six-pointed, petal-drooping flowers dancing in the rainfall. I bent toward them and inhaled the sweet, luxuriant scent, forever linking it with the magical place to which I’d gone.
Spider lily plants are available in mainland nurseries. Sniff the flowers while visualizing love, or let the sweet fragrance soak into you, calming strife and creating peace. Unfortunately, there is no true essential oil.
