JDog Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I haven't put one of these up for a while so I thought I would show two very interesting specimens which I inherited in the garden when I bought this house. The previous owner was a Botanist. One is a winter flowering shrub the other is a rare tree. Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I have downloaded an app called "seek" you take a picture of ANY plant or tree etc leaf/flower/bark, and it will inform you of what it is with Latin and English names and all sorts of info about it.

The second one appears to be a bit special. Until 1994 it was only known through fossils and was believed to be extinct. Then a stand of them was found in New South Wales. It is a Wollemi nobilis, a Wollemi pine, quite a rare plant until recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
