Field Trip to HARC

At the behest of Dr Maureen Fitch who we know from the Cactus and Succulent Society of Hawaii, La and the kids stopped by the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center out in Kunia (probably one of the few places that gets hotter and more intense sunlight than we do in Ewa Beach). The kids and La got a first hand account of what research is done at HARC and what a botanist does. These Aloe were transplanted from the KCC garden (if I am remembering my facts correctly) and they've had a few years to get acclimated to the conditions in Kunia. I'm glad La and the kids got to see the Aloes in bloom (I wish I could have been there)!
