My earliest childhood memories are of the leafless, stout-branched, and almost terrifying silhouettes of bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa).
In my young mind's eye, these great trees were always set against the ever-changing panorama of the winter sky. They were, and thankfully still are, a common sight on my native ground, northeastern Illinois.
With its wide-spaced and contorted limbs, this most cold-hardy of the North American oaks is the lord of the Upper Midwestern landscape.
The other photos and descriptions of this series can be found in my Botanical Rants & Rambles album.
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!
A walk along the Bow River on this day provided the usual waterfowl.
I also noticed the lovely designs in this fallen tree after I sat on it to rest for a minute.
Thanks for your visits and comments! They are all greatly appreciated!

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.

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!

L'élegance dans toute sa splendeur ! Maxillaria caucana in situ durant un tour de 7 jours d'observation de Bromelias et de botanique que je viens de guider. Département du Valle del Cauca, 2000 m anm, Colombie. Maxillaria ecuadorensis devrait sans doute être synonymisée avec cette espèce.
Elegance in all its splendor ! Maxillaria caucana in situ during a 7 days Bromeliad and botany observation tour I just guided. Valle del Cauca department, 2000 m asl, Colombia. Maxillaria ecuadorensis should probably a synonymized with this species.

This is another older shot taken in November of 2013. I had been wanting to visit the Botany Bay area for a while and made a point to stop by on my way home from a friends wedding in Hilton Head SC. Unfortunately my travel plans brought me here during mid day when lighting was not ideal, but I just made the best of the light I had and looked at it more as a scouting trip than anything. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and this really is a beautiful area to explore. I am definitely going to make a point to get back here again sometime this year.
