Here are just a few of the thousand-odd photos I brought back from the Big Island of Hawaii, where I visited last week with Mr. Leilani and Ms. Pele.
Bamboo near the trail up to Akaka Falls
Epiphytes 'R Us - ferns growing on ferns
This monster banyan tree is across the street from the Hilo post office.
Hamakua, in person.
A lovely pair of uppers.
I can't get enough of these raff uppers.
Hangers on the Nepenthes wall.
A Sumo wrestler of a plant from Sumatra.
EP's remake of Tiveyi is spectacular.
Some sweet monster truncatas.
Variegated N. x coccinea
Seedlings everywhere, awaiting their chance to prove themselves.
A beautiful red thing.
How big is YOUR clipeata? You could eat dinner off of this plant's leaves.
This is just about all satellite dishes are good for at this latitude. The satellite is too close to the horizon, and there are trees all around.
Another beautiful red thing.
Clipeata x ventricosa, or visa-versa.
Another beauty.
Just N. x coccinea, only twice the size mine ever acheived.
The great northiana.
Fangs!
Vietchii, looking for a tree to climb...
Some more beautiful red things.
Just a baby, but see how it stacks up against a full size concrete block!
That's my leg. Ceasar could swallow my foot.
Lowii x truncata in all it's gruesome glory.
A gorgeous trio. This is one of my all-time favorites among Sam's creations.
Finally, a tall, slender beauty with red lipstick.
