1 million points to you..  Pity I am not the mod.

That's a very tricky one, I put it there just for fun.  It is actually an old gum tree that died.  In most of the botanical garden here, there is a resident artist, they made  sculptures using dead trees, and this one was sealed and varnished.

Two million points for you bchew.  Protea is quite a common one, but actually knowing the botanical name of Sunset lily is really something.

No, not really.  None of them are tropical plants.  They belong to the temperate zone.   ... I don't want to give away too much though.
