Today I took the day off work and went with my mother to the Melbourne Flower and Garden Show. It was a beautiful sunny day and a perfect temperature for a stroll in the Carlton Gardens to see the exhibits.

There were also plants for sale including the Wollemi Pine (photographed here). It was exciting seeing so many of them and feeling their leaves. I wish our time backyard was big enough to grow one.

@perkinsy Lovely!

Remarkably, it doesn't take much area to grow a wollie. You do need a bit of clear altitude, though.

@weezmgk I didn't know that they were such slender trees. Thanks for sharing the photo
