I would suggest that the tourism industry and cut flower industry in Hawai'i, from what I have seen on my many visits, will keep Dendrobiums well ahead of Phalaenopsis in the island State. On the other hand Phalaenopsis are popular pot plants and are a big export commodity. The Hawaiians use the Dendrobium flowers in leis, cut flowers, and scattered flowers on buffets, garnish when serving meals etc. Colin Hamilton Webmaster Australian Orchid Council/"OrchidsAustralia" Rockhampton, Qld.
