Down to Earth: Exploring the Tropical Flower Paradise of Kapa‘a

Welcome to "Down to Earth" with Lyndsey! In this episode, we have the pleasure of visiting John and Theresa Gordines, owners of the tropical flower farm, Tropical Flowers Express, located in Kapaa. Join us as we explore their beautiful farm and learn more about their journey in the tropical flower industry.
For over 25 years, John and Theresa have been cultivating and selling tropical flowers and foliage. Their farm supplies local florists and ships tropical flower gift boxes across the United States. You can even find them at the farmers market, so keep an eye out for Terry and sometimes Johnny too!
During our visit, we discover some of the stunning tropical flowers grown on their farm. From the vibrant Heliconias to the striking red gingers, every bloom is a true testament to the beauty of Hawaii's flora. We even get to witness the French kiss, also known as the red Indian head, which has an edible part that adds a unique touch to culinary creations.
John and Theresa also introduce us to their thriving Protea plants, a unique addition to their farm. Growing Protea on Kauai is a rarity, making their farm even more special. These beautiful flowers are carefully selected and packed into gift boxes, reaching customers all over the continental US in just two business days.
Throughout the episode, we learn about the significance of flowers in Hawaiian culture and the important role they play in events and weddings. The floral industry is one of the top revenue generators in Hawaii, and John and Theresa's farm is at the heart of this vibrant industry.
Join us as we delve into the world of tropical flowers and gain a deeper appreciation for the dedication and passion that goes into cultivating these botanical treasures.
