Spot on, it is a very very slow growing plant, and it grows in native forest and national park.  Some people dig it up and try to grow it in their garden, that ends up killing it.  Its also illegal to collect.# _! t/ c0 K2 S' L; ~  h$ h( x

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.

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: H$ a4 [  c: D8 k& M) }; R
What about we give it a fancy one like "Superbia Galaxia"?  Until someone tell me the proper name.1 l5 M5 n5 l9 q3 h$ E
