Welcome to Carmela Orchids
Aug 17 2026 HURRICANE UPDATE
The nursery has sustained damaged due to the hurricane. There is currently no power or cellular/internet service on site and we do not know when services will be restored. Road travel to the nursery has improved but all of our shipping processes are electronic so we are trying to work with our shipping providers to do these manually. We cannot provide estimated ship times at this time but please know that we are trying our best to come up with a solution.
Please continue to contact us via email (carmelaorchids@hawaii.rr.com) as phone services are not reliable at the moment. Keep in mind that we are unable to receive emails while at the nursery so communication will be delayed as well until we leave the nursery and head back into town where services have been restored.
Thank you for your understanding & patience during such a devastating time for our island.
We are not accepting visitors to the nursery at this time.
Note: We are working to get our regular email address back on our monthly special emails, but in the meantime you’ll receive them from carmelaorchids@hawaii.rr.com@shared1.ccsend.com.

Happy August! We’ve been busy busy and just finished up at our local Hilo Orchid Show. With over 15 floor displays and dozens of vendors it’s always an event you don’t want to miss. We are always happy to see so many of our friends and customers in person at this annual event!
As summer winds down we hope you were able to take some time to relax and recharge. With school starting up soon we’re sure that things will start getting busy again for us, what about you? We think that relaxing with an orchid special is a great way to spend the last few days of summer!
August brings the end of summer but it also brings the BOSS’S BIRTHDAY!! He will probably spend his special day working but wants to share something special with all of you (see below)!
Happy Birthday to the boss!
