Lehua Orchids Info & News

A half box size

half-box-size

We have been testing a 15 pack box and have had good feed-back.  So we are making this half size box available to everyone.

There is a handling charge of $1.25 per plant ($18.75 per order of 15 plants).  This increases our Price Point Paphs to $10 per plant, delivered and Select to $13 per plant, delivered.  Still these remain very attractive prices for small quantities.  And remember, the prices we quote are always delivered prices.

Catalog

website

Reluctantly, we have decided to discontinue our hard copy catalog. There is just too much involved in the production.  We will miss the sales bump the new catalog brings.  The bump is especially welcome in the summer months, in the sales doldrums between Mothers’ Day and Labor Day.  Instead, we will focus on keeping the website updated regularly.  We will keep you posted of website changes whenever they occur.  For those of you that prefer a hard copy, we can mail you the notes we use to have the website updated.  It won’t be as pretty but will track the format of the catalog.

Talks

video-intro

We have recorded a 45 minute DVD.  It is called “The Story of little bellatulum” and focuses on the difficulty of breeding and growing red complex paphs, also known as the bulldog paph.  If you are seeking a program, even on short notice, we are happy to send you a copy of the DVD and can be available to answer questions by telephone after you have viewed the DVD.

Photographs

photographs

You are welcome to use any of the photographs on the website.  Credit is not necessary; we do not want your customers coming to us!  We only use photographs we have taken of our flowers.  We do not “borrow” photographs.  There will be times when we do not have a photograph on the website, but we are working on it.  If you need one that is not on the website, check with us.  It may simply be an oversight.  Please understand all our plants are seed crosses and seed crosses do show variations in the flowers, sometimes a lot.  When we are using a photo of a flower that received an award, we will add that notation.

  • About Lehua Orchids

    Lehua Orchids is located on the Island of Hawaii (the Big island, also known as the Orchid Isle). We are on the slopes of Mauna Loa, half way between Hilo and Volcano in a community called Mountain View. In this location we enjoy the benefits of our almost daily trade winds, and nightly from the cooling effects of our “mauka” winds (winds coming down from the top of the mountain)

    In this location we are able to specialize in intermediate temperature orchids. Our daily highs in summer are about 85 degrees with a 20 degree drop at night. in winter our highs are around 75 and 60 at night. These conditions allow us to specialize in our favorite orchids, Paphiopedilums, Masdevallias, Angraecums and Lycaste.

    Commercial resellers and dedicated hobbyists are always welcome visitors
