  Orange blooms on Kilauea

  These striking orange blooms were at the trail head of our hike. We didn't see them on the trail though. Perhaps it's a weed? It was a nice splash of color though.

  Crazy ferns on Kilauea

  Fuchsias on Kilauea

  Found these fuchsias on a hike at Kilauea. They're a nice pop of color in the dense, wet side of the mountain. I think they're Fuchsia magellanica.
