Sam, congratulation on your very first retail outlet. Btw, what is the building built for? Looks like for gardens and nursery purpose as well. As you mentioned, computer controlled dream, you meant the building got computer control on climate inside the building? LIke temperature control, humidity control and so on???  But really, the building is very nice looking. Do post more pictures when you settled in. Ed |

Woah, you better watch out! Terrorists seem to be watching the place (see 5th picture)...  Good luck with your endeavors - and I hope that I may be able to visit a retail outlet of your amazing Nepenthes if I visit the Big Island in the future. |

Any updates? I'm wanting to start my own nepenthes collection after I sold everything on the mainland. I used to live right down the street from there, now I'm in Waikoloa(So dry and windy  ) I called you a long time ago about some nepenthes, by that time you were done selling to the public, and ever since I've wanted to get some cuttings. |

Wow Sam you got that place?! It was a shame how they went out of business soon after they built it (as I understand?). Congrats, I'm glad you are moving in. i was actually just recently thinking if i could try get some plants from you ;D.
Noa

Just adding my congrats as well! What a dream come true for you! I have been sorely disappointed at the usage of most of the greenhouses in most of the botanical gardens I've been visiting over here in Nepal...lots of marigolds, dahlias, ficus and the like! Auuuggghhh, what a waste!

Noa .... No, I did not "get that place" ..... I wish. After due consideration of the expense I have leased only a small amount of space at Mahala Pua ( Hamakua Garden Center) in order to test market retail sales on the Big Island. This involves a display rack with about 40 or so plants for sale at any one time. So far sales have been good and we are now offering plants at a second outlet in Hilo. |

Your plants are awesome and they should just sell themselves! Move over stale orchids and watch the rise of nepenthes. Unlike the masses of orchids which have tissue cultured themselves to extinction (nobody wants them) nepenthes offers a fresh start of owning something unique to the gardening world. Long live seed-grown originals!

Leilani Hapu'u Nepenthes Nursery is no longer retailing from this location.
In fact, the entire structure is no longer there!
