HIPS (Hawaii Island Palm Society) held their Annual BBQ Dinner and Palm Auction on Friday Feb. 3, 2017 in Hilo on the Big Island.  It was well attended, the food was great, a musical group provided entertainment and a great variety of palms were auctioned off.  The green list of palms were those in the 'Live' auction, shown on tables along the wall  There was also a 'Silent' auction with many palms, most placed on tables as shown in the next photo. All in all a great event!

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!
