DID YOU KNOW?
The first orchids made their way to Hawai`i around the mid-1800s via Asia, and by the end of the 19th century, wealthy individuals and even Hawaiian royalty maintained orchid collections. Hawai`i became the epicenter of orchid breeding in dendrobium, vanda, cattleya, phalaenopsis, oncidium and other genera. But it was the 1957 World Orchid Conference that really put Hawai`i on the orchid map. That same year, the University of Hawaii started a research program focusing on the culture and production techniques of Dendrobiums. The “Hawaiian Lei” orchid has become the single most important commercial flower in the state through cut flowers, lei and potted plants and the many nurseries on Hawai`i Island’s east side prompted the nickname the “Orchid Isle.” Though the popularity of the nickname has faded, the island’s tropical plant industry – including orchids – continues to grow and contribute to the island’s economy.
