My Trip to Hawaii


Sabal Steve

Recommended Posts

I visited the Big Island for about a week, earlier this month.  Weather was great, and I was able to meet up with some even better people.  I'll periodically post more pictures, in blocks.

I was fortunate to visit Bo and see his garden, as well as Kim's.  I took lots of pictures, but the light was a little hectic, and I had to get a little creative.  But, here were some of the better ones.  Enjoy!

Bo and Kim's Garden:

These were palms that were at a friends place, that they were growing.  They were planted by the neighbor.

Anyone know that this clumper is?  it has small, fiber covered seeds, with soft flesh.  Somewhat pear shaped.

Here were a few nice Clinostigmas in one of the neighbors lawns.

And here were a few wild pigs from one of the places we stayed.

Steve; your palm ID question looks like Pinanga.  Was this on the trail to Akaka Falls ?  Pinanga kuhlii  is common there.

Hello, Darold.

Thank you for the response, I think you may be right.  The "Pinanga" is planted at a friends place in Keaau, near Pahoa.  There are a lot of other common landscape palms planted at the residence as well: D. leptochielos, L. grandis, C. macrocarpa, C. renda, etc.

I found P. kuhlii listed as a synonym of P. coronata, but the leaflets vary greatly - unless there are multiple forms.

 

Here's a pic i found labeled as P. Kuhlii:

Lucky you!
Thank you for sharing with us.

Is this a Areca macrocalyx?

Can you tell which species it is? I love these palms!

Pigafetta would be my guess.  And yes to your question of Areca macrocalyx.

Hi Steve, nice photos!  You covered a lot of ground on your visit.  Sorry I missed you, but it looks like you got the grand tour!  Thanks for posting photos, I enjoyed seeing them.

Great photos! I've been wanting to take a trip there to see some of the incredible gardens out there. My fiance and I are planning on taking our honeymoon this summer but probably wont be able to see any gardens on that trip since she isn't a palm freak like me. We are looking at Maui but still haven't reserved anything yet. I just want to see Cyrtostachys in person!

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Kim!  Bo was a great host.  I enjoyed the trip, and have lots more pictures that I'll gradually post.

I just stayed on the Big Island, but I understand them all to be quite diverse.  All my friends that have visited Maui have loved it.  I found the Big Island to have many diverse, topical plantings, right out in the open.  It's unavoidable!

Glad to see you had a good time and the chance to connect with some of the many 'palm people' here on the BI.

So many great gardens here, you could wear yourself out.

Thanks, Tim. 

Your garden was recommended, but 5 days didn't last long!  But, I'd love to stop by in the future, if that were ever possible.  I plan on coming back to the Big Island, and hopefully sooner than later.

I loved those spam/rice/seaweed snacks they served there too - who knew!

I just booked a cheap flight in August, basically 6 days in August.  Not enough, but should allow for a drive-around.   Ohia forests are more or less off limits due to a fast-spreading disease, so it looks like volcano and palms. And culture.   Will have to bring the swim fins.  Thanks for the great photos.  

Of course I need guidance!

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F

4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us
