Nice shots Wal.

The last time I was in this garden was in 2000. Is the big clump of Bambusa vulgaris vittata still there?

Back in 2000 we had only had our house for about a year, and at the time I wasn't into palms, but I knew what I liked the look of. I always wanted a fishpond or stream in the garden. I saw this garden and it blew me away with all the bamboo, palms and water. Then we took a trip up to Mt Tambourine and saw the wild Bangalows in native rainforest, my first rainforest experience, and it blew my mind. I knew then what I had to do when I got back to Perth. Got home and ripped the lawn out and dug the ponds and built my own rainforest and the rest is history. This garden made a big impression on me.

Best regards

Wal, where's the pics of the Licuala ramsayiis and the giant Caryotas?

How did all of these fare with the floods? They would have been well and truly under.

No. It just came out that way. This garden really did influence me strongly. I was on a work trip to Brisbane and decided to take a ferry ride to kill some time before an appointment and ended up here. Even though I hadn't ventured far into the world of tropical plants at this stage, this garden made something go click and from there on my garden and actually my direction in my life kind of changed too. Now that does sound profound but it's true.

Best regards
