An unmistakable plant, the silversword has long, sword-shaped leaves covered in silver hair and beautiful flowering stalks that may tower to a height of three meters.</p> <p>The Hawaiian silversword flowers only once in its life of 20 to 90 years, not unlike the much-loved agave. Because of this, records show that the number of silversword flowering in any given year varies wildly from zero to 6,632 plants. It depends on pollination from other individual plants for reproduction, so the trigger for flowering events is a key piece of a puzzle not currently understood, like many aspects of ecology…</p> <p>(read more: <a href="http://news.mongabay.com/2013/0506-fitzner-hawaiian-silversword.html?fbfnpg" target="_blank">Monga Bay</a>)</p> <p>(photos: T - <em>Paul Krushelnycky</em>; B - <em>Forest and Kim Starr</em>)</p> </blockquote> <p>I’m so glad I got to see this in real life. </p>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/50214226776http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/50214226776Sat, 11 May 2013 21:51:35 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7ohovyn8S1qdvz30o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7ohovyn8S1qdvz30o2_500.png"/><br/> <br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49969489023http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49969489023Wed, 08 May 2013 19:41:27 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8aoqyyTFO1qgn6feo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49771729055http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49771729055Mon, 06 May 2013 09:06:31 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/34386c1b6fe4082b16b8928fefd87b20/tumblr_mmdeo8UuQP1r3s5n0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49771423841http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49771423841Mon, 06 May 2013 08:59:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/caa7880c27da7ff355820d467746a61d/tumblr_mkkoabu96C1s6m8cpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49638602477http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49638602477Sat, 04 May 2013 20:59:20 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b85ea48af247536f0efe32dec4d07546/tumblr_mm9rviO7N51s346cuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49638576543http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49638576543Sat, 04 May 2013 20:58:57 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d45b03cbc9e27c72d4e96a080fc1164c/tumblr_mma6ecpJrf1qcm16uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49638260516http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49638260516Sat, 04 May 2013 20:54:20 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5b41b10b18292847eb9ff10746834e6e/tumblr_ml40yb3pUF1qh67eyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49623527659http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49623527659Sat, 04 May 2013 17:22:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mboym7cUYP1qf53k4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>POST PUNK</p>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49460098876http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49460098876Thu, 02 May 2013 17:08:59 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mboym7cUYP1qf53k4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49460078077http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49460078077Thu, 02 May 2013 17:08:44 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b5b0e4100520d6a9c3b24b52cd029c5d/tumblr_mm3ewsiqhp1qcm16uo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ff040ee2f9998ad2af3f81c4d0ad8574/tumblr_mm3ewsiqhp1qcm16uo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/be8465fd471dbb5fc7906deacfb142c2/tumblr_mm3ewsiqhp1qcm16uo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49459981998http://catedracula.tumblr.com/post/49459981998Thu, 02 May 2013 17:07:25 -0400
