Wailupe Valley: Wailupe, Kulu‘i Streams

Depending on when you grew up, this area is all Wailupe, or there is a separation of Wailupe and Aina Haina. I tend to do what most folks do, which is deal with common usage, and that means this area is Aina Haina. Technically, the developed areas in the flat land is what most folks consider Aina Haina, still an ili in the ahupuaa of Wailupe. Update 9/4/20 Noticed that there is a side road that possibly provides a clear mauka view of the basin. (End of update.) Wailupe is the historical name. The physical name. Wailupe Gulch. Wailupe, the peninsula, the fish pond that was filled in and covered with houses. Wailupe Valley the school and Wailupe Valley playground, as labeled on old topography maps. Aina Haina came later with development. Residential lots. Shopping mall. The bushes are tall and I couldn't get a clear shot of the basin, but it's easily visible in the screenshot below. As usual, I didn't go far, but it was deep enough to see that this is a bit different from t...

Video: Pukele, Wai‘oma‘o, Palolo Streams

Tucked in the back of Palolo Valley, Pukele and Wai‘oma‘o Streams merge as Palolo Stream. Known previously as Kuekaunahi, Palolo Stream eventually merges with Manoa Stream and exits through the Manoa-Palolo Drainage Canal into the Ala Wai Canal. In its previous path, prior to the filling of the watershed to build Waikiki, Kuekaunahi exited near the intersection of ‘Ohua and Kalakaua Avenues, and was known there was Waikolu ("three waters"). One map from the late 1800s shows the stream with a different name as it flows through what is now Kapahulu: Pahoa. A resident walking along the stream and La‘i Road mentioned that the water is at only 50 percent of the level from decades ago. I can see why the residents somewhere around here fought against the plan to build a basin (reservoir?) as a flood-control mechanism. It would change the area drastically. Maybe if they built it way, way back near the mo untain, but as the engineers drew it up, the plan woul...

Tiny bugs infesting my gardenias

It sucks! Every day, I get my spray bottle and wash away these tiny green and brown bugs that infest the leaves of my three gardenias. They've plagued one plant, especially, and are working on a younger one. I wash them away, wondering how I can get rid of them. I don't mind the high-maintenance work, but tonight I stumbled across a site that explains how ladybugs can be natural killers of aphids . I don't know if these tiny bugs are aphids, but there was a nice little black ladybug (above) on one of the gardenias today. It was running around like it was a little lost. I never saw her before and she may have just been lost. I live in an apartment building pretty high up, so the chances of more ladybugs landing up here are remote. I'm glad I didn't get rid of it. I hope she sticks around and eats ALL the aphids and other little pests.
