These plants are found in tropical America. They can be raised in the hot house or home. The bloom mostly in the summer and fall and they need a minimum winter temperature of 55 degrees when grown under glass. Their leathery leaves have spines around the perimeters and as they grow directly from the base they overlap each other to form a long tube from which the flower spike emerges. Some have scarlet and blue flowers, some have pink flower heads with blue flowers and some have red, yellow and black flowers. The foliage also may have variegated colors such as maroon and green, green with white stripes, or completely red. They can grow up to 12 inches long
Pulling up at the old 'staff hut' to pull the 'peg' for the section to Cooks River is Freight Corp's 8047/ 8017 on T106 to Enfiled Yard.
This location has changed a lot with the Electric Staff gone, and overhead bridge replaces the walk way pedestrian crossing just behind me but Kellogg's still remains in the right of the shot.

Cap'n Jack Sparrow: We be sailing to Botany Bay
Me: Can't we go in the car it's only next to Margate!
I love live oak alleys and how they seem to frame roads effortlessly. This road screams to be photographed. This was my first time to Botany Bay Plantation. Hopefully not the last.
The sexy bits of a lily flower. Male pollen on six anthers supported by filaments. Female stigma receives male pollen and passes it down the style to the ovary where the seeds are formed. Plants aren't so very different from us are they?

Facing westward. The large tree that dominates the scene is a magnificent specimen of Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana).
As one would expect given its locale, the branches of this lovely monster are festooned with Spanish Moss, otherwise known as Tillandsia usneoides. Actually not a moss at all, this clump-forming freeloader is in fact an epiphytic (tree-dwelling) bromeliad, a highly adapted flowering plant in the same family as the pineapple. To get a closer look at this amazing epiphyte, see Part 28 of this set.
In the previous, Part 30 description, I mentioned that another giant on the Pinckney site, a Southern Magnolia, was a member of the ancient magnoliid lineage of flowering plants. Here, however, we have representatives of the other two great angiosperm groups: the Southern Live Oak is a eudicot, and the Spanish Moss is a monocot.

I used spend the school summer holidays on this beach, as we lived up the road, there used to be an archway going across to the island but that has eroded now. Health & safety didn't exist either!!
It was a grey old day!
Botany Bay is linked with the history of smugglers. In 1769 smuggler Joss Snelling and his gang were caught with contraband on the beach by the Revenue Patrol, after a fierce fight Joss escaped. Joss survived to become an old man, who was introduced to Princess Victoria on a visit to the area. He died in Broadstairs in 1837. There is also Joss bay a litte further up I wonder who that is named after!
THANKS FOR ALL VISITS & FAVES IT IS APPRECIATED
Lisa's lilies in Circle Pines, Minnesota, were a psychedelic explosion of color in a world otherwise marred by the mundane. These flowers, with their hypnotic hues and intricate patterns, stood as a rebellious testament to beauty amidst the suburban sprawl. Each bloom was a defiant scream against the encroaching grayness of modern life. Tending to them was a ritual, almost a sacrament, as Lisa battled the elements and pests with the tenacity of a seasoned guerrilla fighter. The lilies thrived, their vibrant petals unfurling like delicate, otherworldly trumpets heralding a summer of possibility and madness. They were more than just flowers—they were symbols of resistance, standing tall against the crushing ennui of the everyday grind.
The Royal Society of Natural Philosophy is pleased to announce the opening of a Botany House in Mooreton Bay, Alicentia. To advance the study of the flora of the New World, The Society has managed to engage the services of renowned Corlander Botanist, Sir Jonah Banks. Banks has set up his quarters in Botany House, a building in Mooreton bay built specially by the society for the study of Botany. Located roughly in the centre of the settlement, the land adjacent to the building has been set aside for future Botanic Gardens - a planned green oasis in the middle of a bustling town!
