The pave road is short leading to a water tank.  From their we walk perhaps another 1/2 mile along what once was a dirt road and now is just a trail.  This tree has the common name of Octopus tree as a close look at it's flowers reminds one of the sucker on the arms of an octopus.  It's scientific name is Schefflera actinophylla and it is a weed here in the islands.  Pretty but still a weed as it can take over areas where natives might be growing.

Here a passion fruit hangs on a vine.  Some types of this edible fruit are also weeds climbing all over and choking natives in some places.
