Twining the maile with white orchid creates a beautiful air of elegance and femininity that combines with the masculinity of the maile vine. Commonly presented to males for wedding, graduations, guest speaking, proms, and special occasions. Due to agricultural restrictions, this item is not available for shipping to California.
