I'm feeling ucky, but it gives me a moment to share some snaps from yesterday's trip to the Allerton and Mcbryde Gardens on Kauai. This plant, Ōlulu (Brighamia insignis) was actually considered extinct until a chance spotting in a remote valley. With one plant the McBryde Garden was able to propagate it, and is trying to help maintain the plants survival. Supposedly, it's a rather nice house plant too. Maybe there's a good future for these guys. Science is awesome sometimes. #kauai #mcbrydegarden #nationaltropicalbotanicalgarden #ntbg #botany #endangeredspecies #science #fuckyeahscience #plants #ilovesplants #hawaii #travel #vacation #education (at National Tropical Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br8hx2BFys7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rxcplmebylwk
