I think that’s Graptopetalum growing on the rocks, with Aloe in the front.

From the moonscape on Mt. Haleakala, this is the silver sword plant only found at high elevations on Maui.

Very shallowly rooted, the silver sword is protected on Maui. It’s a real stunner in the volcanic landscape.


So lush, so many plant combos

The ‘Iao Valley

Nice color echoes between the Brugmansia and the Cordyline at Kepaniwai Park Heritage Garden, which celebrates the immigration that created today’s Hawaii.

We got a short education on sugar cane at a vodka distillery. So many different kinds and some hardy to zone 6a. Who knew?

I thought the sugar cane was really pretty and tortured my companions by stopping at each variety to point out the interesting color differences. The sugar cane industry played a huge part in Hawaii’s history.
