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.

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.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb7 R" M8 M- y; ^8 L- k4 Q9 Z5 q+ Y
What about we give it a fancy one like "Superbia Galaxia"?  Until someone tell me the proper name.
