[Postcard to Blair Wilson] Thanks for the lovely Urpflanze book. Speaking of mythical flowers, this is Haleakala Silversword, which exists only in Haleakala "crater" on Maui. Look it up! It lives up to 50 years but flowers only once and then promptly dies, kind of like salmon. Pictured here is a rare example of a plant in bloom, otherwise they just look like spiky silver balls. After they die their skeletal remains persist a long time in this surreal arid landscape. ♥ |
