Koki’o ‘Ula’Ula is a native hibiscus which is rare in the wild, but available in nurseries. This one is a bit past its prime. I’ll have to go back to where I saw it at Kohanaiki to see if I can get a more robust bloom. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 241. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
The Hornworm Tachinid Fly is considered a beneficial insect because it lays its eggs on caterpillars, which can decimate many varieties of plants. However, that also means it’s an enemy of Monarch Butterflies, which I don’t approve of, because it will do the same to their caterpillars.
I’m happy to say that our weather here is back to normal after a couple of weeks of cold, gray, rainy weather. I took this photo during that time and it looks much the same in black and white as it did in color!

In Kawaihae, there’s a very shiny Airstream trailer which houses Seabird Coffee. When I stopped to take photos of it, what caught my eye was that one rounded corner of the trailer did wonderful things to vehicles waiting for shipment elsewhere, my car (on the left), and a passing truck!
