SILVERSWORD IN BLOOM…this rare plant in Haleakala National Park, on Maui Island, sports a blossom ten feet high.
“The SILVERSWORD—a member of the composit family, grows from 4 to 20 years—finally sending up a flower stalk 1 to 9 feet tall—then dies. Hawaiian name is “Ahina Ahina” which means Silver Hair. The Silversword is found only in Hawaii.”
