After A Fire Destroyed 7000 Of His Plants, Kansas City's Orchid Grower Comes Out Of His Cave - KCUR

David Bird never gets bored with his plants. Orchids, he notes, are the largest family of blooming plants on Earth, with almost 30,000 species. He's been hooked ever since a family trip to Hawaii in 1978, when he bought five Dendrobium orchids.In 2001, he began growing orchids in a cave on East 23rd Street near I-435 at the Interstate Underground Warehouse. Bird's Botanicals had 10,000 plants in five rooms. "It was a very unique situation. We were becoming a tourist attraction," Bird says. "When you'd drive into the cave to see us, it's kind of dark, it's kind of dingy, and all of a sudden, you open up this door and there's this room full of thousands and thousands of plants. You could smell them with the fragrances and the color." All of that changed in the fall when the cave's owner burned a large pile of trash that had accumulated on top of the cave. Smoke from the fire seeped into Bird's ventilation system, instantly affecting the delicate flowers. He estimates that he lost nearly 7,000 plants. "I think watching your plants die is the worst thing you could possibly have to deal with," he says, "after 16 years of watching your plants grow and flourish and bloom."

Protea flowers a rare treat from down under - West Hawaii Today

One of the people responsible for Hawaii proteas was Dr. Philip Parvin, horticulturist with the University of Hawaii’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, who directed the Maui Experiment Station.ADVERTISING When Parvin first became director in 1968, he was highly impressed with the obvious superior growth of proteas that had been planted at the Kula station three years earlier. As he was familiar with proteas being grown in California, he was inspired to explore the potential of a protea industry in Hawaii.This industry has indeed developed and continues to grow with partial funding for protea research coming from the Governor’s Agricultural Coordinating Committee, several College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources researchers have been able to solve some of this young industry’s problems and help improve production and handling. Dr. Parvin worked on the management aspects of the crop, such as the selection of superior cultivars, propagation, density spacing, pruning, and plant nutrition.Dr. I-Pai Wu, a professor of agricultural engineering, developed drip irrigation systems to meet water requirements in the field and to make better use of available water resources. John Cho, Stephen Ferreira, and Norman Nagata, plant pathologists, examined ... http://www.westhawaiitoday.com/2018/10/21/features/protea-flowers-a-rare-treat-from-down-under/
