Maui's wild orchid - growing in Haiku Maui HI 96708
This is one of the native wild orchids that grows by the roadsides in Haiku Maui. It's only a small plant and before it flowers you would hardly notice it as there are only a few long leaves. They say that if these orchids can be found it must be a healthy ecosystem as they are very sensitive.
Cultivated orchids are big business on Maui and you can find many retail stores selling a huge variety. I like to visit the nurseries where they grow them since they are very knowledgable about which type will do best in your area. Maui has a lot of microclimates and there are orchids suited for each district.
If you live in Haiku you might consider shopping for orchids at these nurseries:
