A Hui Hou Scott Seymour

Ask anyone who ever met Scott Seymour, and among the first things they will likely mention was his aloha. It bloomed in the way he treated his ‘ohana, friends, clients, community, and all of us at Kona Historical Society. His love and tenderness were showcased and felt in the way he expertly cared for every plant or flower he touched.

Scott, a self-taught, flower-arranging guru whose spectacular and legendary flower arrangements adorned the grand social affairs, fundraiser, homes, weddings, and lūʻau in Kona and Hawai’i, recently passed away. We extend our deepest heartfelt condolences to his ‘ohana and utmost gratitude for this incredible human.

His floral splendor were loved by many and graced equally amazing places, including the interior of Kawaiaha‘o Church in Honolulu’s Capital District, the Honolulu Academy of Arts, and Huliheʻe Palace. At Kona Historical Society, he was a dear friend and treasure. As a volunteer, he lent his expertise to several programs, including helping with our Native Forest Exhibit and sharing his manaʻo for floral and wreath design on jeep trips. Scott will be greatly missed.
