This invasive passion fruit, also known as banana poke or liloki, grows all over Hawaii. Oddly enough, it was mistakenly identified as Passiflora mollissima until 2001. Probably brought to Hawaii as an ornamental or garden plant, it is now considered an invasive weed. This picture and a second nearly identical one attempt to capture the effect of moisture in the atmosphere.
