Welcome to the Kunia Orchid Society

Calvin Kumano has been growing orchids ever since his in-laws gifted him an orchid plant after he got married. He currently operates his nursery in Waianae, on the property known as Orchid Center, owned by Lea Takafuji.

Calvin specializes in Cattleya, Phaleanopsis and Dendrobium orchids. He is very active in the Oahu orchid community; he is the President of the Aiea and Manoa clubs; both of which hosted annual orchid shows BC (Before Covid). Calvin wins many awards for his well grown plants. He is a popular vendor at the Kunia show, and is a familiar and favorite speaker at our meetings. This month, Calvin will talk about his honohono culture and the varieties he created. Be sure to join the meeting, stay for the Q & A and of course, the plant drawing!
