PD. Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah, have a look and see if the super pedro specimen survived the damage myself and others saw last visit. Poor thing had been lopped in half right at the start of winter, was rotting nicely. The peruvianus is a very nice specimen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obtuse Posted December 20, 2007 I loved the Melbourne botanical garden when i went to visit only recently. The cactus garden was great. So was the maidenii. But i wish i had known about the heimia. Love to see a mature plant. didn't see the longifloias or floribundas either. damn The brug in the fern garden was lovely too. It was flowering at the time. Next time i'm in Melbourne i'm going to have to make sure i get someone to show me around the gardens. cheers, Obtuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
