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 214. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
The Numbers Game #92
Category Archives: Flowers
Red Hibiscus
I liked the flower and the strong colors here.
A quiet but colorful bird
I liked this bird in a display at the Hilo Orchid Show.
Chrysodeixis eriosoma moth
Chrysodeixis eriosoma, also known as the green garden looper, is a bit of a pest, though it’s the caterpillar, rather than the moth that is the problem. It has spread far and wide, and was first noted in Hawaii back in 1877. This one was on a native Milo flower.
The Numbers Game #90
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 212, which turned up a selection dominated by plants, so I’ve gone for an all-plant line up. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Golden Trumpet Flower
The Golden Trumpet Flower (Allamanda cathartica) hails from northern South America, but is now found in many other tropical places, including Hawaii.
Habenaria Medusa orchid
Another flower from the Hilo Orchid Show. These flowers were tiny and so delicate, I would never have thought they were an orchid without the handy label.
’Ulei flowers
A bee forages on ’Ulei flowers. ’Ulei, also known as Hawaiian Hawthorn, is an indigenous shrub that grows in a variety of habitats. I saw this one hiking on the Kau Desert Trail in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
