The 'ohi'a lehua are flowering at my place. Most 'ohi'a have red flowers, but they do vary. Here's our one yellow 'ohi'a. 🥰

When an 'ohi'a is in full flower, you can sometimes walk under it and hear it buzzing with bees.

Interestingly, when I was up at volcanoes national park last week, most of the 'ohi'a were not flowering. I wonder if that's due to the elevation difference (the park is much higher elevation than my place), or because the eruption and ash are somehow affecting the flowering cycle, or both, or something else entirely 🤔

"We had begun the morning sipping traditional māmaki tea and eating homemade banana bread in the sunshine, as Waipā's guide, Kelsey Ke'alohilani Rogers, shared the legend of kalo (taro in Hawaiian) and how this root vegetable became an iconic part of Hawaiian culture. According to local beliefs, Earth Mother and Sky Father had a stillborn son. From the spot where he was buried, the first kalo plant grew, later nourishingtheir next son, Hāloa, the first human. "This is why kalo is more than food; it's family," Rogers explained." - bbc.com/travel/article/2025033

As US belligerence forces Japan and South Korea to partner with China, remember the US illegal occupation of Hawaii has only ever been about plunder of the region. #Hawaii must be free of US imperialism and continued exploitation of Hawaiian collective culture.

Japan and South Korea partnering with China, and US president Mckinley admitting the occupation of Hawaii is about plundering China

gardener survey: what is the soil profile at your place?

this is the soil profile at mine: soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OS

TLDR: 0-4 inches of organic, on top of solid lava rock all the way down.

so my biggest challenge is building (and keeping) soil.

why "keeping"? because we get over 100 inches of rain per year, with year-round temperatures above freezing. so we lose a lot of soil in runoff and in organic processes (seriously, mulch just disappears...you're like "didn't i put mulch down?" but that was a whole 6 months ago, so it's probably gone now.)

the best way to retain soil here is to put plants on it, as soil will clump around the roots and the roots will hold the soil in place.

i'd love to learn about the soil profile at your all's places and what kinds of challenges you have in growing stuffs.
