AOS Award no. 20162701 March 12, 2016 Hawaii Center Monthly Judging – Big Island 83 points

We continue to brag! Not about the awards we have garnered and they are plenty, 433 AOS awards plus a handful of CSA Awards as of July 25, 2021, but about our ranking on the all-time list of “hybridizers with the most hybrids awarded” Lehua Orchids is now the most awarded hybridizer of slipper orchids according […]
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, Phragmipediums, Angraecums and Lycaste.
