Default Dendrobium anosmums In Full Bloom

This is the time of the year when Dendrobium anosmum is in full bloom in Hawaii. I was fortunate to visit Calvin Kumano's green house in Pearl City this afternoon. Calvin has been hybridizing different varieties of anosmum for more than 10 years and has an extensive collection of anosmums. I was able to photograph some of his best which I will be posting in this thread.

The first photographs are his "blue lips".

Amazing color contrast. I have regular pink one that just finished blooming.

I read somewhere that this white one is not fragrant. Is that true?

Is Mr Kumano selling these plants to public? If so,I would like contact information.I am sure many of us would.

I have the anosmum alba currently in bloom and the fragrance is heady and I can smell it when I open the door....

The white anosmums have a fragrance but are probably the least fragrant of the colors.

Mr. Kumano does sell his plants locally to the public. Many of my anosmums are from him. I don't believe he ships off island but I'll ask him.

Here are more photos of Kumano's plants taken on Monday, March 31.

I would certainly like to know if he will sell +ship plants to Florida.Hoping they are not too expensive.
Anosmum is one of very few dendrobiums that grows for me.
