Awards

in News & Events

 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 to Orchid Wiz x9.1.

Click on LIST in Orchid Wiz on the top line.  Follow the drop down screen to “Hybridizers with the most Hybrids Awarded”.  Narrow the search by Breeding Group “Paph, Phrags, Cypripediums” and click LIST.  There is Lehua at the top of a list that has 650 names including a lot of household names.  Lehua Orchids  has 310 awarded hybrids.  Lehua is ahead of Rod McClellan (202) Ratcliffe (201) and Terry Root (194).

There have been some remarkable achievements in getting to this point; 18 AQ’s for Paphs, three of which were cut flower AQ’s, an AOS first; two AD’s for our white breeding of Maudiae style Paphs; but no FCC’s, those have been garnered by our customers and our customers’ customers.  Having our customers and their customers actively participating in getting our hybrids awarded is one of the most satisfying results of our push to achieve this goal.

Mahalo to all of you who have exhibited our hybrids; Mahalo to all the centers who have willingly and graciously worked with us in our push to reach this achievement, a list of those centers can be found at the top of our listing of our awards

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, Phragmipediums, Angraecums and Lycaste.
