Ahinahina - Silversword

[Matt K.]

These plants are on the protection list. So they are trying to replant them on the mountain (Mauna Kea) and see if they can get them to spread again. This again is @ 9000' feet .... I usually do not take closeups with a wide angle .. but what the heck, my 12-24 was mounted and there ya go ....

Looks like it could crawl over the rocks!

Interesting. Reminds me of a sea anemone.
