The BEST freshly cut tropical flowers in Honolulu, Hawaii!…read more For Ching Ming (Chinese Memorial Day), I was looking for something to take to the cemetery for the ancestors... 96744 Tropic Flowers was located at the very beginning of the Kaka'ako Farmers' Market, so it was easy to notice. When I took a closer look, this vendor had some unusual Torch Gingers and other Heliconia. The prices were also very reasonable! I took a chance and bought a bunch of flowers and a stem of the Torch Ginger so my mom could look at it. My mom's yard had pink and red Torch Gingers, but not like these! (I think that it's a Malay Rose Torch Ginger.) Mom asked if I had a plant... I laughed and said, "No..." That was April 4, 2020. I went to check on the flowers on Easter, April 12, 2020. The flowers from 96744 Tropic Flowers were still good! Wow! I went back to Kaka'ako Farmers' Market on April 18 to let the owner, Kevin, know how hardy his flowers are and how happy I am! He was very humble and grateful for the feedback! There were other customers who seemed to be repeat patrons because they called Kevin by name. I got a new bouquet of Red Ginger, yellow Heliconia, green pinecone ginger, and variegated hala leaf to bring to my dad again. Most of the flowers from April 4th are still healthy! Yes! I tell you... tropical flowers are meant for our weather... not like mainland flowers that wilt quickly! So - if you need durable, colorful, beautiful flowers, come to Kaka'ako Farmers' Market on Saturdays from 8am to noon or Mililani Farmers' Market on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. If you need suggestions, Kevin will surely help you!

My family has always viewed the New Year with more enthusiasm than Christmas. It's a good fucking…read morething we're not TERRORISTS SET ON ZERO BOMBING A BATTLESHIP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN or anything because I'm sure we set off enough fireworks on NYE to raise red flags at the NSA. And to start the year off right, we ALWAYS host a New Year's Day house party that basically involves eating a shit ton of food, BCS Bowl viewing, and the conspicuous consumption of Coors Light. And no, it's not JUST because we're a bunch of blood-related atheists who don't give a fuck about being saved and will therefore BURN IN HELL; New Year is a more important holiday for our culture! Yeah, that's right bitch: CULTURE. Lest you think we're Western through and through, we also do traditional Japanese things to usher in every new year such as: eating ozoni (traditional soup of miso, kamaboko, gobo and kuromame), pounding kagami mochi, and making kadomatsus. Kadomatsus are New Year decorations placed at the entrances to homes as a way to welcome our ancestral kamis (spirits). Comprised of bamboo stalks, pine brushes, and ume blossoms, kadomatsus bring prosperity and come in a variety of different sizes. And okay, I'm kidding, we don't actually MAKE our kadomatsus, even though TECHINALLY you're supposed to. So what? TECHNICALLY you're supposed to use Prepatation H for ass lumps, but I FIND it works WONDERS for the bags under my eyes. So give me a fucking break. Oh, we also don't pound our own fucking mochi, either -- do I LOOK LIKE someone who would or even could pick up a mallet?!? I mean, aside from the time I tried to BASH YOUR FUCKING HEAD IN WHILE JONESING FOR A CIGARETTE?!? We're just a huge fucking family of FOBs (Faux Oriental Bitches) so judge us if you must but before you do that let me ask what connections YOU maintain to your mother culture, Mr. Whitey McWhitester-Fucktard?!? ANYWAY, we've been BUYING our kadomatsus from Mikis for the last couple of years and have been VERY HAPPY with them. See, Miki's -- a family-run florist located in a small, nondescript storefront -- not only makes excellent leis and other floral arrangements, they also assemble Kadomatus. This year, our 2-foot tall kadomatsu (http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/0CO9CBoVinRBAMiVo_9wUw/l) was rather expensive -- $100 -- but it was still a small price to pay for maintaining a tie to tradition. So if you want to be stylin' like The Family I, head to Miki's and get one.

Blooming with creativity…read more.. That's one thing that does excite me whenever there's a market and this one does branch out a bit differently as it does includes various plants for sale as well. Though I'm not much of a green thumb having folks who know how to care for them does make a difference and who wouldn't want to take home something that brighten up your space. Speaking of it's not just plants but various pottery from the Hawaii Potters Guild which was very nice as each table is from a different member was so impressive to see so many creative items. What I also love is that you find various treats from My Sweet World with lots of munchies and of course matcha...I was so surprised to see Walking Bean Cafe was there and got a cup of Iced Honey Yuzu Matcha a favorite refresher of mine that really helped cool me down. Aloha Drapery and Kreative Kama'aina was there to see something new they have and it's pillows with two types of filling and got one specifically difficult to find the uniqueness of this market really surprised me and learned a lot from various vendors was so cool.
