Brighamia insignis

This is a pretty rare flower - blossom of the endangered Brighamia insignis. The Hawaiian name for this plant is "Alula". Pretty mellow name! One of the common names is "Cabbage on a Stick". This is the same plant I entered into the Plant Show - but apparently it was 6 days out from blooming. The second Alula I have isn't sending out flowers yet - and I don't know if this type of plant will accept pollen from its own flowers. Timing is everything... but it doesn't hurt to try.
