🌺 Meet the Silversword (ʻĀhinahina): Maui’s Shining Treasure 🌺
📍 Found only on the slopes of Haleakalā, this otherworldly plant is a true Hawaiian icon!

---

🌿 Quick Facts:

🏔️ Endemic to Hawaiʻi – Specifically Haleakalā Crater, at elevations above 7,000 ft. It grows nowhere else on Earth!

🌞 Reflective Silver Leaves – Covered in tiny hairs that reflect sunlight, reduce moisture loss, and protect from intense UV rays and cold temperatures.

⏳ Long Life Cycle – The silversword can live up to 90 years, but blooms only once in its lifetime, then dies.

🌸 Spectacular Bloom – When it finally flowers, it sends up a dramatic stalk up to 6 feet tall with hundreds of purple blossoms!

🐝 Pollinator Magnet – Its flowers attract native Hawaiian bees and insects, helping support the crater’s fragile ecosystem.

📉 Did You Know?
The silversword almost went extinct in the 20th century due to human impact and grazing animals. Thanks to conservation efforts, it’s making a comeback—but it's still protected and fragile, so look, don’t touch!

📸 Pro Tip:
If you're visiting Haleakalā, early morning is best to catch the sunrise and see these sparkling plants at their most magical.

Did You Know?
The islands of Maui County — Molokini, Kaho‘olawe, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i, and Maui — were once all connected as one massive island called Maui Nui. This ancient landmass was 40% larger than the Big Island is today, spanning 5,600 square miles. Over the last 1.2 million years, rising seas and erosion shaped the islands we know today.
