mu! Posted December 20, 2014 To be honest i think paying 10 bucks to hang out with like-minded plantheads is pretty rubbish. It hasnt cost a dime so far.. so it seems like a step back to introduce a monetary aspect at this point. And the melb bot gardens are ideal on many lelvels, the sticking point being that its the central most point for a geographically dispersed set of ppl to meet at (not to mention all the awesome that the bot gardens is..)

spineless Posted January 15, 2015 Great, looking forward to it (as much as a painfully shy awkward person can). 17th is fine (or 18th if it changes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simhanada Posted January 16, 2015 still hoping to make it but some last minute stuff has come up. for those that do here's a couple of things from the gardens facebook feed that may be of interest. from today(friday) Flowering Friday this week is the striking Agave parryi or Mescal in the California Garden at Melbourne Gardens. Standing at an impressive 30 feet, this perennial succulent is monocarpic, which means that it flowers just once before setting seed and dying. Flowering usually occurs once the plant has a sizeable trunk which, in this case, has taken approximately 25 years. You’ll need to get in quick to see this one – the bloom is expected to only last for a few more days. from monday Nursery staff at Melbourne Gardens are keeping a close eye on this Amorphopallus titanum (Titan Arum) after a shoot appeared in late December. The shoot signals that either a leaf or a bloom is on the way and we should know within the next 6 - 8 weeks whether we have another big stinky flower on our hands 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
