Carludovica Palmata

[ChicagoWayVito]

Yesterday I was visiting the Ho`omaluhia Botanical Gardens in Kaneohe, HI and I stumbled upon a nice treasure. HBG Ho`omaluhia (honolulu.gov)

The treasure as they called it was the "Panama Hat Plant" (aka: Carludovica Palmata) or Toquilla straw.

Going back to the well! Brings me warmth, kinda like the first time I saw an Agave cactus.
