Pele was furious when ʻŌhiʻa turned down her proposal, so she transformed him into a twisted tree. Lehua was heartbroken, of course. The gods took pity on her and decided it was an injustice to have ʻŌhiʻa and Lehua separated. So, they turned Lehua into a flower on the ʻŌhiʻa tree so that the two lovers would be forever joined together. Hawaiian folklore says that if you pluck this flower, you are separating the lovers, and it will rain that day.
