Had a great time up in beautiful Kiama with Colin . Colin has nearly 300 species (i think ) on his block making him unofficially the Ralph veleez of Australia.

Thanks Colin! If Troy insisted it was a Dypsis, that would have been my guess!! Very pretty, but I'm guessing a bit more sun would have helped it grow faster..

What I love about your pics Troy, besides being great photography, are that they are different from the ones that Daryl took when he was there, different from mine etc., Colin indeed has such an amazing house and garden that it takes many varied view points to capture it's wonder.

I spoke to Col yesterday actually, sounds like you had a full on time, he wore me out in a few hours :D

Happy Gardening

Cheers,
