Mother of Thousands - (Kalanchoe daigremontiana I think) clearly there are thousand of them....
I love this plant but it spreads like crazy.

Hi Mlassi, glad that you're back on TZG.

The Saddle is one of my favorite areas, I've spent many years doing botanical surveys there!

The red flowering plant is Kalanchoe tubiflora, the Chandelier Plant. It is common in disturbed areas of Leeward Hawai'i.
The yellow flower on the lower left side of the photo is Senecio madacascariensis, Groundsel. It has become an invasive on Parker Ranch in the past decade.

Below is the Saddle from Pu'u Huluhulu Wildlife Sanctuary.

Aloha, Dave

Thanks Mlassi, looks like your photo is from Parker Ranch, between 4,000 to 5,000 ft. elevation.

Here is a shot of Mauna Kea, from 25 miles up the Saddle on the windward side, at about 6,000 ft.
