happy may day!

with mother's day just around the corner, may day seems like the perfect time to be wooed by the tropical beauty of the islands' flowers. all of this year's picks have been grown with consideration of the 'aina (organic or free of pesticides).

1 - upcountry protea specializes in organic varieties of the prehistoric blooms (fyi - prices include s/h).

2 - a dizzying selection of orchid plants can be found at aloha orchid nursery which uses organic & environmentally friendly fertilizers for all the flowers grown in their big island greenhouse.

3 - gift boxes of hana flowers, pesticide-free and washed with biodegradable soap, are harvested daily on the family flower farm.

also, keep in mind that all of the flower farms ship early in the week (typically m/t/w) so plan your order accordingly to ensure timely delivery.

wishing you all a lovely day of flower filled festivities!
