Orchid Growers on Maui?

[FSUOrchids]

I'm visiting Hawaii in a couple of weeks, and I wanted to see if anyone here could give me recommendations for good growers on Maui.

I mostly grow cattleyas and vandas.

Tropical Orchid Farms!

I don't know if they are open to the public but the plants they sell online are much bigger than one would expect.

Here is a list of Hawaiian vendors.

One of the reasons I ask is because in general, I find that orchid vendors are bad about updating their websites, so I never even know if they are still in business.

also that list doesn't specify what island they are on

Exotic Orchids of Maui.

If you look online for TOF you'll see it's in Haiku,HI or the north shore of Maui!

I used to live in Hawaii. Tropical Orchid Farms and Exotic Orchids of Maui are both on Maui, are both in business and are both absolutely outstanding nurseries to visit. I'd call first to make an appointment before visiting.

For the record, I called Fragrant Orchids of Maui and they were not very accommodating. I told them I would be driving towards Hana with my wife and I guess they thought I wanted to drop by on the way back, which they didn't have interest in. They also tried to discourage me from coming that way at all because they claimed the weather was not going to be good. Well I have no idea what forecast they were looking at, because we drove up there and it was fine the entire day. Oh well, lost business for them.

I've never heard of them. Go to TOF and EOoM. Then post pics
