Anthuriums
Shiny and smooth, these blossoms can last about a month with care, and are available year round. Though the size varies by the variety of anthurium, most blossoms are about 4-6 inches across.
Obake anthuriums (variegated varieties) have more green in the cooler months and hardly any green in the summer months.
Anthuriums are fragile to the touch and can bruise easily if not handled with care though they are hardy and last a long time. Take extra care when unpacking them as every blossom is painstakingly wrapped in shredded paper to avoid damage in transit.

Dendrobium Orchids
With a year long growing season, this flower ships well in cold weather as well as warm and makes a perfect flower for shipping in the winter months. Each spray is about 12-16 inches long, with roughly 15-20 orchid blossoms, each about 2-3 inches across.

Protea
With a heavier fall-winter growing season, these flowers ship well in cold weather and make a perfect flower for shipping in the winter months.
Size varies by the variety of protea from an enourmous 8-12 inch diameter King Protea down to the 2 inch diameter of a safari sunset.
Nearly all protea will dry beautifully and can be enjoyed in dry arrangements for years.

Ginger
Red Ginger is prolific all over the Big Island of Hawaii. With a particularly heavy summer season, availability is strong all year long.
We carry a variety of exotic ginger and costus as well. These exotic varieties are always changing with the seasons - from button costus or rattlesnake calathea to rose of siam, beehive or torch ginger. We always have something exotic in store.

Loose orchid blossoms
The same fresh dendrobium orchid blossoms that we use for our impressive fresh leis. Great for decorating tables or in those Hawaiian cocktails!
Loose orchid blossoms are great for wearing behind the ear too.
They last for several days, even without water, but should be kept in a plastic bag in the fridge until use.
