Most flowers shown in these Galleries are of orchids bloomed in my backyard on the leeward coast of Oahu above Pearl Harbor. I grow a variety of orchids but concentrate mostly on cattleyas, dendrobiums, phalaenopsis and vandas. Most of my orchids are grown from compots purchased from breeders throughout the State of Hawaii. The plants are grown under 47% shade cloth in a fir bark media mixed with perlite and peat moss.
