lei

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'floral arrangement put on the radio' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'put on the radio' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'lay' (laying is a kind of putting).
'on the radio' shows a homophone (sound like).
'lay' sounds like 'LEI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lei that I've seen before include "ready in Romania" , "Polynesian garland of flowers" , "Hawaiian wreath" , "Band of flowers" , "Garland of flowers in Hawaii" .)
