I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>@ HVG - Lucky you, to be surrounded by Ohia trees over there in Puna.<BR/><BR/>@ Quilly - You're welcome. Next time you can't identify a flower here in Hawaii, do check out the UH Botany Dept. website. They have a lot of info on line, and plenty of photos to help you figure things out.<BR/><BR/>@ Mary (the teach) - This tree was beside the trail to Kilauea Iki, not out on the fresher lava flows. You won't find much on the newer lava flows except <A HREF="http://bnsullivanphoto.com/2008/08/lichen-on-lava-rock-wall.html" REL="nofollow">lichens</A>, and then only if the lava flow is at least a couple of years old.<BR/><BR/>@ Jim - Welcome -- but I hope you don't stop visiting <A HREF="http://therightblue.com/" REL="nofollow">The Right Blue</A> for WW now!<BR/><BR/>@ Felisol - I think we all are internet travelers these days. It's a great time to be alive.<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372661752347661223.post-6775900049150715772008-08-06T19:39:00.000-06:002008-08-06T19:39:00.000-06:00Very unique!
