Happy New Year

Another year has passed and a new one begins. With greenhouses full of fruit trees and habitat trees waiting to be planted 2017 is shaping up to be a busy one. Here are a few of the gorgeous plants we photographed around Christmas time.

Poinciana Delonix regia  near Gatton Queensland



   
Blood Lily / Scadoxus puniceus

                                                                                         









Musk Mallow Abelmoschus moschata tuberosus






  We found the Musk mallow at Daley's fruit tree nursery. The stunning red flowers last only one     day. Also called Native rosella. The seeds are musk scented. Leaves shoots and tuberous roots can be eaten. It grows to about 2 metres very drought tolerant and fast growing. A very interesting edible.
