Halcyon Daze Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Not sure if this has been done already but it seems like a good idea to have a place to post our random pics of native plants. It could be a good way to get some more action in the native plant forum and if it takes off we could get the thread pinned. Anyway, here's one to get the ball rolling. The Atherton nut, Athertonia diversifolia, a macadamia relative with a similar but slightly sweeter taste. Notice the variation in the leaves hence the name 'diversifolia'. That's a 5 cent coin by the way. Edited December 4, 2014 by Halcyon Daze 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarenna Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) To keep up a bit of a native orchid theme, here is a photo of the world's smallest orchid, Bulbophyllum minutissimum. Each of the pseudobulbs are only a millimetre or two across. Will dig out some more native plant shots and post them here soon. peace Edited July 20, 2015 by tarenna 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Sorry- I ballsed up the size on the previous post. Hopefully this makes it more visible Edited July 20, 2015 by tarenna 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Another native orchid - and another rather strange one at that. It just floats and rolls about in rainforest leaf litter drawing nutrients from the leaf litter through the tiny hairs on the rhizomes. Cheirostylis sp.

ghosty Posted July 21, 2015 nice one tarenna (Tara?) I wonder if this plant has learned to use scrub turkey's to spread it around. I feel this might be the case. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted July 21, 2015 A much more common native orchid - the nodding greenhood, Pterostylis nutans. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted July 21, 2015 nice one tarenna (Tara?) I wonder if this plant has learned to use scrub turkey's to spread it around. I feel this might be the case. Absolutely - I have witnessed this on a number of occasions. Also Australian logrunners (a rainforest bird), Superb (and much less frequently Albert's) lyrebirds and other litter foraging birds.

bardo Posted November 13, 2016 Found this tree today, I believe it is native cherry, I ate three of the ripe fruits and not to my liking, sweet for the first moment and then not so nice, the after taste last a while, I have read you can cook with them, i might try some more anyway when they ripen : ) Also what i believe is a wombat berry that was growing with it, i missed the flowers so am going to wait for the fruit to ripen to confirm that it is that and not G. cymosum which has black fruit and not yellow, G. cymosum you can eat the young shoots, haven't tried them yet but wombat berry is pretty good, you can eat the pith from around the seeds which taste ok but you only get a finger nails worth per fruit, the tubers are great fresh or cooked into stews or soups. The two are easy to tell apart when flowering , the wombat berry has three of the six petels fringed , the petals of G. cymosum are fringe free : ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
