The Kori Bustard, a large ground-dwelling bird of the southern and east African plains, is perhaps best known for its spectacular courtship display. I was thrilled to witness several such displays on my recent trip to Tanzania. The male puffs up his neck and feathers, lifts his tail upright, raises his crest, and struts about the grassland, for all to see him in his glory.
Some more photos from this trip can be found here:
Greater prairie chicken "booming" at a lek in Nebraska. They lift their tails, extend their wings, inflate their neck pouches, and let out a low hooting sound. There is a lot of posturing and some fighting between the males as well. It is quite a spectacle!
I cleaned and reorganised my room today. This is the current Bratz display, I'm glad I moved the Bratzillaz, they were blocking the other girls, now I can look at these again ^^
Nearly 3 acres of display gardens are currently under development at Roraima Nursery. Combining a unique terrain with innovative landscaping concepts using rocks and industrial artifacts, the gardens will showcase how cacti and succulents can be combined with other plants such as palms and pines to create a beautiful and dramatic garden that is both low in maintenance and requires little water..
.
The gardens will be open to the public from Saturday 29th of April 2017..

History.
.
Roraima Nursery was formerly known as Lara Plant Farm. Established in the 1960s, Lara Plant Farm was well known throughout Geelong and many people have fond memories of visiting the Farm with their parents, playing on the trampolines in the then carpark playground, and visiting the birds in the large aviaries built throughout the retail area..

A fauna park was established in the early 1990s. However, the recession that soon followed took a heavy toll and by the time new owners Lyle and Cheryl Filippe took over in 2001 the fauna park had closed and the Nursery was in need of a major overhaul. Removing the old aviaries and creating a more open shop area surrounded by garden beds, the new Nursery is now vibrant and beautiful, once again delighting all who visit..

Mount Roraima.
.
Situated on the borders of Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil, Mount Roraima is a famous example of tepui, or table-top mountain. Separated from the surrounding plateau by nearly vertical cliffs, the flat top of Mount Roraima remained a mystery to explorers from the time of the discovery of the mountain by Sir Walter Raleigh in the 16th Century until the cliffs were finally scaled in the 1880s. The mountain inspired the famous novel "The Lost World" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in which explorers reached the flat top to discover a haven of dinosaurs still living..
.
When Nursery owner Lyle Filippe climbed Mount Roraima in 1998, there were no dinosaurs to be seen! but he was delighted to see many plants that are unique to the mountain top, and beautiful outcroppings of rock and crystal. Returning to Australia Lyle was inspired to name his nursery after the beautiful mountain..
Roraima Nursery has the widest variety of cacti and succulents in the Geelong region. Some of the more popular genera of cacti we stock are: Mammillaria, Notocactus, Oreocereus, Gymnocalycium, and Lobivia. Among our succulent range we have Aloe, Agave, Crassula, Gasteria, Haworthia, Echeveria, Sedum, Faucaria, Yucca, Cotyledon, and Aeonium. .
.
Some of the more unusual plants among our range include Dioscorea elephantipes (Elephants foot), Dracaena draco (Dragon Tree), and Furcraeas. We also stock Brachychiton rupestris (Queensland Bottle Tree).
.
We are currently building an extensive collection of cacti and succulents (not open for public viewing) from which an even larger variety of plants will soon be available for purchase. These will be of particular interest to collectors and will be available through mail order or online, or from the Nursery directly.

We stopped at a little honor system bakery/market. You just bought what you wanted and wrote your name down in a notebook with what you bought and how much money you put in the money box. Amazing in this day and time. ODC: display
Absolutely loved the Display Stands that IT used this year.
Each night, the attendee whose number was drawn first received the (option to purchase) both the Centerpiece Doll *and* the Acrylic Display only. (Not the light boxes beneath).
On the final night, the 1st number drawn received the stand AND the runway-shaped light box in addition to the Black Orchid Centerpiece Doll.
