Astelia Menziesiana is an endemic plant that can grow as an epiphyte, as in this photo, or in the ground. It does best in cool temperatures, which is where these plants were found at around 6,000 feet in the area between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, but can also grow in warmer temperatures. Plants are either male or female and both have flowers, but only the female produce berries.
Would love to see the flowers and berries đ đ

It’s not a plant I see often, but I’ll be on the lookout for flowers and berries and you’ll be the first to know!
