We have quite a flourishing banana grove in our garden. We get four or more crops a year. A new flower appeared last week, doing its thing! When its petals drop off, the banana flowerlets are revealed. I read that the purple petals of the large flower are edible. The bananas will develop slowly. It would be great if they were ripe by Festive but I doubt it.

ALOHA CHEF JACK! WELCOME!

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Earthquake activity continues to increase at Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano.
The latest daily report about Mauna Loa reveals there were 65 earthquakes in the past 24 hours. Mauna Loa is not erupting, and experts said an eruption is not imminent. But the U.S. Geological Survey has moved to daily updates, and Mauna Loa has been at a yellow “advisory” status.
“We do have this heightened unrest,” explains Ken Hon, with the USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory, “and the volcano is more likely to accelerate into an eruptive state out of the heightened unrest.”
Mauna Loa’s most recent big eruptions were in 1975 and 1984, but whether the latest flurry of seismicity will result in a lava event is anyone’s guess.
“Go about your daily business,” Hon advised, “but kind of keep an eye out and keep your ears open for what might be going on.”
(We at Hualalai are far enough away to not be directly affected.)
This young Hualalai guest wrote a special message in sand on the sidewalk.
