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.

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.

This one is a ground cover, its flowering madly now at the front garden.  The flowers are only tiny, when looked at closely, you will notice its beauty.  One problem, I don't know its name.公仔箱論壇9 Q, B1 d0 ]0 ~# L* t) {# c
What about we give it a fancy one like "Superbia Galaxia"?  Until someone tell me the proper name.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5 Z% \+ v/ j4 O& ?- s% x/ r2 T; M
