Maui - Silver Sword and Haleakala Crater August 2011

For years I have been fascinated by the Silver Sword plant that only grows on top of the mountain in Maui.  This plant grows in volcanic gravel. This is not soil.  It blooms once in its 30-50 year life and then it dies.




This year we were in Maui during August and could see it blooming.  The crater was spectacular as always.
