The standing collection
Four shapes we build
every week of the year.
Every arrangement is cut to order the morning it leaves. Stem counts shift with what the farms picked, the structure never does.
The Low Bowl
Dendrobium orchid, pincushion and lauaʻe fern in a hand-thrown bowl. Sits below eye level so a table can still hold a conversation.
From $65vessel included
The Hand Tied
Wrapped in kraft and raffia, no vessel. What we send when the gesture matters more than the furniture it lands on.
From $72same day, island-wide
The Green Only
Monstera, ti and lauaʻe with no bloom at all. Ordered most by restaurants and offices that repaint their walls white.
From $48refreshed fortnightly
The bench
Build your bouquet.
Pick the occasion and watch the bench change. This is genuinely how we work: the reason for the flowers sets the structure, the structure sets the stems, and the stems set the price.
The Kula Chapel
An asymmetric arch that leans off the altar rather than framing it squarely. Built on site the morning of, taken down by us the same night.
- King protea, 9 heads, Kula
- White dendrobium orchid, 40 stems
- Silver-dollar eucalyptus and lauaʻe fern
- Bridal party pieces, 6 included
$2,400and up, install included
Booked 4 to 9 months out. One wedding per weekend.
The Arrival Posy
What we leave on the counter of a rental before guests land. Low, round, scented, and short enough to sit under a kitchen cabinet.
- Pincushion protea, 5 heads
- Plumeria and pikake, cut that morning
- Ti leaf collar, hand rolled
- Hand-written card, your words
$95delivered and placed
Property managers book these on a standing list.
The Quiet Spray
White and green only, laid wide and low so it reads gently across a room. We deliver to the church or the house, never both without asking.
- White anthurium, 12 stems
- Phalaenopsis orchid, 3 sprays
- Ti and lauaʻe, long cut
- No card unless you ask for one
From $140delivered on the day

- Ready by 10am, Tuesday to Saturday
$32studio pickup
Add $12 for delivery anywhere on the Wailuku to Paia run.
Weddings and events
We take one wedding

That is the whole policy. It means the person who drew your arch is the person standing on the ladder at 6am, and the person who comes back at 10pm to take it down.
- ConsultationA 90 minute sit-down at the studio with real stems on the table, not a mood board.
- InstallCeremony, reception and personals, built on site the morning of.
- StrikeWe return the same night. Your family never touches a zip tie.
- RehomingAnything still good goes to Maui Memorial the next morning, at no charge.
The studio
A cold room, a steel bench,
and six farms up the hill.
Bloom & Basalt started in 2016 in a converted garage off Market Street with one cooler and a standing order from a Wailuku law office. It is still a small operation on purpose. Three of us, one van, one bench.
We buy from six growers between Kula and Haʻikū and we say so out loud, because the alternative is boxes of roses flown 2,500 miles to sit in a bucket. If a stem is not growing on Maui this month, it is not going in your arrangement.
Nohea Kalama
Founder and lead designer. Fifteen years on the bench, ten of them here.

They talked us out of the arch we asked for and drew a better one on the back of an order pad. It was the right call and it cost us less.
Twelve rentals, one standing order, four years. The posy is on the counter before the guests are off the plane and I have never once had to call about it.
Visit or order
Come stand
in the cold room.
The bench is open to walk-ins Tuesday through Saturday. Weddings and standing orders are booked by phone or email, not by form, because the first question is always a conversation.
