Vireya are semi-tropical rhododendron that do not need cold to set buds and repeat bloom throughout the year.  They are unlike the temperate rhododendrons on the mainland that need cold and bloom once a year. Vireya’s main homeland is the Indonesian areas such as Borneo and Java, where they grow along the rainforest and in open fields.

Hawaii has areas where Vireya do very well because of our acidic and porous volcanic soil. Hilo, Puna, Volcano and Waimea are examples of areas vireya thrive.

Sherla Bertelmann and her husband, Richard Marques, began working with vireya around 1996. In 2000 they opened “Pacific Island Nursery”, specializing in Vireya Rhododendron.

Attendees can add their  name to the drawing to win a vireya  to take home!

Anyone who has been growing orchids for a few years has killed a bunch!  It’s part of the process of figuring out how to grow them.  It can help to have someone tell you what you are doing right and wrong.

Former Hawaii Orchid Society President, Larry Kuekes, will do just that.  Instead of just a list of do’s and don’ts, Larry will talk about how orchids grow in nature and how that helps you understand the right way to grow them.

Larry started growing orchids on his windowsills in Connecticut in 1984, where he grew mostly cool and intermediate growing orchids.  In 2010, he retired and moved to Hilo, where he started a small but diverse collection of mostly warm-growing orchids in a shade house near sea level. Although he grows some hybrids, he is a self-described “species nut”.

Even if you are an experienced grower, you’ll be entertained by the songs and videos in Larry’s multi-media presentation.  Don’t miss it!
