Anthurium Society holds plant show
Just in time for Easter, the Hawaiian Anthurium Society presents its 27th annual anthurium plant show and sale 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Ward Warehouse.
View the prize anthuriums on display and take in the educational workshops on plant horticulture that begin 10 a.m.
The show's sellers will offer floral arrangements, ti leaf and haku leis, corsages and plants, all of which make fine gifts for an Easter brunch host.
Keiki can join in the festivities 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow with free activities sponsored by Ward Centers. Some of the fun includes Easter tattoos, a coloring contest and balloons. From 2 to 3 p.m., children can enjoy an Easter Bunny Treat Trail and fill their baskets with treats from participating merchants.

Famed floral arranger hits town
Master floral arranger BJ Dyer, known to draw a standing-room-only crowd, will present "Cutting Edge Floral Design" 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Doris Duke Theatre of the Honolulu Academy of Arts. His signature style is unstructured natural floral arrangements using unusual flowers and plant materials.
Dyer is co-owner of Bouquets, a floral boutique in Colorado, and was named by Bon Appetit Magazine as one of the Top 10 florists in the United States. His three shops not only offer cut flowers and arrangements, but also specialize in full-service planning for the largest social gatherings in the Rocky Mountain state.
The event, presented by the Garden Club of Honolulu, is free, but donations will be accepted to offset the costs of the program.
