Who We Are...
In December 2025, Denise Hauanio and her husband Les took over this beautiful farm from John and Mindi Clark, who began cultivating cut Dendrobium and Oncidium orchids in 1987. With over 35 years in the floral industry, Denise has worked alongside the Clarks for more than 20 years, helping to manage and grow the business. A native with deep family roots in the area, she’s thrilled to be “home” and eager to continue nurturing her passion for orchids and people. Supported by a dedicated staff and community, she’s committed to learning, innovating, and raising the standards of growing a variety of orchids for everyone to enjoy. In this new chapter, we will Imua Kakou—work together for the beauty of the industry. Call, text, or message anytime; she’ll be happy to help.
What we do......
We produce and hybridize potted orchid plants in sizes ranging from plugs to 2", 3", 4", and 5" pots, offering both blooming plants and those in spike or bud to wholesale and retail customers.
Located in the warm tropical climate of Kalapana on the southeast corner of the Big Island of Hawaii at 200 feet elevation, we enjoy year-round temperatures of 65–85 degrees, with gentle tradewinds providing excellent airflow through our greenhouses and keeping the coconut palms swaying.
We grow standard cane Dendrobiums, Latouria Dendrobiums, Cattleyas, Epidendrums, Grammatophyllums, warm-tolerant Oncidiums, and a few other species. Our one-acre production area houses about 180,000 plants, from plug trays to blooming size.
We collaborate closely with a lab in Thailand that cultivates our seed pods or clones in flasks, ensuring our benches are always stocked.
