Orchids on Oahu Hawaii?
My wife (who is an avid orchid fan) and I plan to visit Honolulu in August.
Are there any nurseries, botanical gardens around Oahu where she might find interesting orchids? |

Just down the road from H&R is Hawaiian Floral (H&R will direct you). Along the main road on that side is another BIG dendrobium grower In wainae valley is Kodama, Miyamoto, Orchid Center, And in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center there is a kiosk full of orchids. Actually there are so man7y on Oahu that ----when you get there --- look in the yellow pages under Orchid Growers. Your best stop will be Kawamoto orchids--- forget the orchids-- wait till you see view from Leslie's place !!!! Have fun, Bill |

Orchids on Oahu Hawaii?
Oh you're going to absolutely LOVE it! Where are you staying btw?
Find Lanakai beach...trust me, you'll thanks me . Hanauma Bay is way cool for the most amazing snorkeling (I prefer scuba, but Oahu 'ain't' no Belize . Polynesian culture center is great if you have an entire day to spend there. Senator's Fong's is great but on a very slowish side... The North shore speaks for itself, we hung out there a lot, but my husband and I surf and we wanted to take a good wave....the North shore is where you find them, but we just chickened out...(though my husband says that the waves weren't high enough for him g). Here are some of the nurseries where I left a good lump of green stuff for some orchids that I later on gave away: H&R NURSERIES INC 41-240 Hihimanu Street Waimanalo, HI 96795 808-259-9626 Kawamoto Orchid Nursery 2630 Waiomao Road Honolulu, HI 96816 Phone: (808) 732-5808 (Lots of Vandas, and intergeneric stuff. Okay prices, good quality) WILK ORCHID SPECIALTIES P. O. BOX 1177 Kaneohe, HI 96744 Phone: (808) 247-6733 Call Chet Wilk, he'll gladly welcome you and walk you through his house where he grows all his orchids! I met Chet, his wife and daughter and grandson during our trip to Oahu in March of last year. He has some pretty amazing bulbo collection and the prices are very inexpensive. He packs great, and stamps it for customes. Tell him Mariana sent you, the one that came to visit from NY with the two kids (boys). Very nice people. The trip up to Wilk is absoutely breathtaking! And if the timing is right, you'll see the most spectacular water falls from behind Chet's house . When I returned, I posted an entire write up about my trip, I'm sure that if you search the archives by keywords, you'll find the post, should be sometimes around April, May 2003. Mariana ====== Planning a trip to the Fiji Islands in August. There I'll be floating in a bungalow for seven nights, and eight days http://profiles.yahoo.com/gardengrl911 http://www.geocities.com/gardengrl911 "Pesimismo" wrote in message ...
