This is the Loby K Lani Fire Plant it only in the Spring on the right side of the island. It sprouts every 20 years so if you were to see it, you’d better take a picture. It breathes out fire every 3 minutes (if it has sprouted). Writen by: Angelina G.

This is the Hau Meakanu, it's name means ice plant. It only grows around the left side of the island (cold side). In the center of the beautiful flower there is red pollen. The bees are the only things that don't get frozen for 2 years. the Ice Plant can freeze any animal that tries to eat it. The reason that the pollen is red is because red means danger, and the plant is dagerous. If an animal tries to eat it, the pollen will start to get blue; once it is dark blue, it will make it's way onto the animals face. It gets onto the face of the animal by making it's way out into the air around the flower. Writen by: Heather E.

The Kamaiki Pua is not located in the left side of the island (cold side) or the right part (hot side) it is located in the middle right where the Nani Ahi and K__o__ Plant live. The Kamaiki Pua is about the size of you thumb fingernail. Its pollen is yellow with pink balls at the top, it is outlined with a light teal blue color and has light pink petals; it only has leaves once every three years due to the climate change on the island. The Kamaiki Pua is not dangerous/poisonous at all. Its seeds get dispersed by the Fire Flyer, when it collects pollen every year to harvest, there is a small seed hidden in the pollen and as the Fire Flyer rises into the air the seed drops out spreading seeds in the center of the island.

The Fire Blossom is located on the right side of the island (hot part) the Fire Blossom is about the size of a child’s hand. And its pollen is dark black and its petals are light orange, outlined with a red-orange color, and there are some creased lines that are bright yellow. If its predators try to eat it or take it from its natural habitat, it will burn into nothing but ash, and 3 days later it will form back into a blossom. Its seeds get spread by the ash, the predators of the Fire Blossom only can live on the hot side of the island, and when the Fire Blossom turns to ash some of the predators snoop around in the ash and get it stuck on their fur/skin bringing it to all places it passes by, little seeds are made up of the ash so every time some ash drops; seeds are being planted.
