“FLOWERS”?BLOOMS AT KUMU KAHUA: Hawaii playwright Lee Cataluna got a congratulatory hug from island filmmaker Michael Ng at the opening-night reception for her new play, “Flowers of Hawaii,” Nov. 7 at Kumu Kahua. Cataluna had watched the sold-out crowd laugh heartily at all the right moments throughout the beautifully paced 90-minute production. She’d seen them get surprised, shocked and misty at all the right moments as well. “Flowers” continues through Dec. 8 but don’t wait to buy tickets if you want to see it. Call 536-4441 or go to www.kumu­kahua.org.
