LIHUE — Ground orchids have been the hot item at Kauai Nursery and Landscaping for the past three years, said Jimmy Toledo, Kauai Nursery manager.
“It’s still going strong because there’s certain people we can get it in from,” Toledo said. “And with supply and demand, if you can’t supply it the demand is really high. It’s hard to keep up with the demand for that type of plant.”
According to a recent report from the United States Department of Agriculture, the preliminary value of Hawaii’s floriculture and nursery products is estimated at $67.4 million. That’s down from the almost $68 million generated in 2014.
