quote:A friend and colleague of mine from Scotland, not England, was out here working on Mauna Kea for a few weeks and stayed in a vacation rental in HPP. He loved the place, right on the cliffs at the end of Paradise.
Volcanoes in the Pacific could send a tsunami this way so they are very much Hawaii-related.
What some people in England are putting in their garden isn't.
About six-months after he got back home he found the strangest plants growing in his garden. Ended up being the strange tall bent things you get around the visitor center on the way to the summit (anyone know what they're called?). We think he must have carried some seeds back home on his clothing by accident but it was quite surreal thinking those weird plants were now growing somewhere near Edinburgh.
Just for Paul I thought I'd put this back to a Hawaii-related subject but also including England, oops, I mean Scotland.
