St Anthony's Rick Rack Blossom

Walking to the stand the other day and I noticed this blossom. This epiphytic cactus has been going wild in a Mango for over ten years and this is the first time I've spotted a blossom. I'll try to catch a fresh bloom, they are supposed to have a good aroma too.

I got the start of this from Mike Machado over 25 years ago.

Temporary Closure for Maintenance

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Due to  Kuhio Highway improvements along our entry we will be closed from 

May 1, to June 8.

 We hope to use this time to do necessary maintenance and also improve our garden orchard area in time for summer.

We are excited about the new Anaina Hou  project next door and think that after the dust settles our new neighbors will provide a complimentary  business  to ours.

The highway access will be safer as well.

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you and serving you in June

Mahalo,

Joe

Mangosteen!

Just got a whole lot of Mangosteen in. Pretty neat to be able to make
such a rare fruit available to the public.
