I was thrilled to find a fully mature Ceiba (Chorisia) flowering opposite the entrance to the Caravan Park in Iluka on a trip to Brisbane years ago. And there are several in the Sydney Botanical Gardens flowering on previous visits. Magnificent flowers!

Thanks for taking me back to Melbourne Botanical Gardens. I spent an entirely delightful afternoon wandering around it way back in 2009. This is all new since then of course. A pleasure to see it.

What a fascinating episode. So good to learn of the creative way of dealing with and revitalising a neglected heritage area. And how timely that you (Stephen) should be our special guest this coming Saturday and Andrew is our special guest in July! We look forward to welcoming you both.

What a marvelous way to cleanse and preserve water. And to have the vision to reclaim that area of waste ground--! Thanks for sharing, as I don't know whether I will ever get there from Indiana USA.

Wow ... Water islands, who knew....not me. How fabulous. This is how our mains tap water should be treated to get rid of all the carcinogenic chemicals that we are expected to drink and wash in. I knew of a 13 year old boy about 7 year's ago whom became allergic to water. He couldn't even take a shower with Adelaide tap water. I've been saying for decades to get the flouride out of our water which by the way does not stop tooth decay, that is a lie.

He's talking about the plant that had taken over and I can't understand what he's saying...is he saying pittosporum ??? It's the accent. If so,,, are pittosporum a bit invasive for you all ??? I saw a strange pittosporum species in Raleigh NC in southeast US that I never knew the species. It was at tall tree that had white bark which was beautiful. That tree is no longer and I wish I knew it's species. If you have a guess, let me know...m

Yes Pittosporum and it can be a bit invasive even though it is an Australian native but outside its habitat and a serious weed in some countries such as the Azores and Madeira. Regards Stephen

Any guess as to which pittosporum I saw with the sparkling white bark and is a tree...it's been taken out since but I really thought it attractive....
