Leilani Hapu'u Nursery - 2010
We took a short vacation to Hawaii in February, 2010. We spent most of our time in Honolulu, but we flew to Hilo for a day, specifically to visit Sam Estes and his gorgeous Nepenthes. Photos were taken February 6, 2010. [40 photos]
Frosty Morning in December
A lot of customers are surprised to know that we grow our North American carnivorous plants strictly outdoors.  These plants include Venus flytraps, Sarracenia and many sundews.  On this day, the morning temperature was 24°F (-4°C).  The water trays had at least a quarter inch of ice.  No doubt that some pots were frozen solid!  Photos were taken December 4, 2009.  [15 photos]
Hot Summer Day in August
I normally don't like taking photographs at midday because the sun can be very harsh and bleach out colors. However, the sun was slightly lower in the horizon and created a wonderful back lighting for the plants. This helped bring out the magnificent colors, particularly the yellows! Some plants seem to glow in the hot summer sun. Photos were taken August 26, 2009. [21 photos]
Darlingtonia californica in the Wild
Every couple years we take a trip to the Siskiyou National Forest in Josephine County, Oregon to check up on various colonies of Darlingtonia. This year, we also took a trip to Florence, Oregon to visit the Darlingtonia Botanical Wayside. During the trip, we filmed a short video to illustrate how Darlingtonia typically grows in the wild. Photos were taken July 27-30, 2009. [56 photos]
Cloudy Day in Summer
While we prefer warm sunny days in summer, the occasional cloudy day provides a reprieve from the summer heat.  Cloudy days also provide softer lighting, which helps showcase the wonderful colors and patterns among our Sarracenia.  Photos were taken at our nursery on July 12, 2009. [34 photos]
Spring 2009
See how beautiful carnivorous plants can be! Spring is when Sarracenia pitcher plants are ablaze with flowers. If you've never experienced a Sarracenia flower before, you've got to check out these photos. Exquisite! Photos were taken at our nursery on June 3, 2009. [27 photos]

Our friend Sam Estes grows exclusively Nepenthes on the Big Island of Hawaii. We took these photos during our visits to his nursery in early December, 2008. A few of the photos we took during our visit in November, 2006. This set of photos takes you on a tour of his property. [47 photos]

This set of photographs contains close ups of some of the most jaw-dropping plants at the nursery. We took nearly all of the photos in early December, 2008. A few were taken during our visit in November, 2006. [43 photos]
Do Carnivorous Plants Really Need High Humidity?
One of the myths we battle with nearly every day is the myth of high humidity. Many folks mistakenly think that carnivorous plants require constant high humidity to thrive. Here are a set of photographs that we took at our nursery on August 14 and 15, 2008. The official weather reports indicate that we had a high temperature of 103°F (39°C) with 18% humidity. After looking at these photographs, you can decide for yourself if carnivorous plants need high humidity. [16 photos]

Carnivorous plants shipped to you as if you came to the nursery
and picked them up yourself. Guaranteed!
