HPPA's Kim was in the right place at the right time for this image: Haleakalā silverswords are always stunning, but with a little bit of dew and the right light, they dial all the way over to breathtaking.

Kim calls this: Greeting the New Day.

Gorgeous closeup here of a Haleakalā silversword plant in full bloom, a once in a lifetime event for the plant, by Maui photographer @hawaiianimages.bsky.social. On behalf of all of us that know this plant well, we sure wish you could smell this.

🩶Have you ever seen a Halekalā silversword plant? The Hawaiian name is ʻāhinahina, associated with Hina, goddess of the moon. 🌕
Wendy on our Haleakalā NP stores team framed this young endemic silversword after cloud mists had blown through.

Your national parks are open on Friday, July 4th. Take a picnic, the fam, your fur babies (for parks that allow them), long walks, and lots of photos! Sometimes the plants out-do the fireworks with a show of their own!

When HPPA’s Chuck works onsite at our partner #HaleakalāNationalPark, he doesn’t miss a molecule of the beauty to be found there, on the macro or the micro scale. He calls this closeup of Haleakalā silversword blossoms, waiting to open: “From The Ground Up” 😃
