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!

    Beautiful pseudoparasitica along with the rest.  I don't think this would do well in my climate without a greenhouse.  Looks like that shadecloth and your climate give it exactly what it needs!

    33.0782 North -117.305 West  at 72 feet elevation

    Nice, though I don't think number 2 is right... that's pygmea. number 4 could be Cuban, but it's in the pumila complex

    Beautifully-grown pseudoparasitica. This is one that - in the right hands - can look a lot more attractive in cultivation than in nature.
