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.

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.

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.

I think Paul was pissed because the link was broken...

Anyway... this is a pretty good and could work on the big island.

I just had a look on Google Streetview to see the plants Tom mentioned (at the Visitor Center), but no luck.
Intriguing story, plants sure can spread themselves around.

Am I dreaming or is the little orange Streetview man wearing an Aloha shirt and carrying a surfboard these days?

I'm curious if anyone has seen any follow up on these articles? I've seen a couple of these articles but they just have "feel-good" fluff no real information like results, how are they funded, etc. Would like to see what these places are like 1 or 2 years down the road.

Note: Hawaii/puna related there is a group attempting to do a similar situation in Hilo. I don't know the details of the Hilo movement just mentioned in passing with a UHH student who's heavy in the "green movement" I'm friends with
