3/29/08 - Upper Waiakea Forest Reserve (1 Viewer)

I took somebody on a tour of the wet forests at the upper end of Stainback Highway. The weather was absolutely fabulous. The 'io has not been present at the end of Road R for a couple of weeks now - must have moved on. I checked all my usual plants for flowers etc, and adored the little busy little snails on my favorite cyanea. I found out that I was a dummy, and had been walking under a flowering opuhe on one of the trails all month without realizing it! There was much rejoicing and many photos... The big clermontia montis-loa trees were also flowering nicely on Army Road.
