Visited with Peter Tristram from Forest Drive Nursery again today and took some shots of the nursery and gardens.
Forest Drive Nursery www.bromeliads.com.au/
Forest Drive Nursery specialises in bromeliads for the discerning collector.
We are located at scenic Repton, 20km south of Coffs Harbour and half way between Sydney and Brisbane.
The greenhouses and gardens display an extensive range of species, cultivars and hybrids largely from imported stock.
उस दिन चलते चलते देखा, एक पेड़ के नीचे दो पत्तों करवटे ले कर पड़े थे । क्या पता क्या गुफ्तगू कर रहे थे आपस में..
I hate that toolbar. greedy parasites flickr/yahoo-whatever, I hope you all get decapitated.
As for the photo, its a Hoheria leaf.
Everything is the same! only superficially different. I think its H.sexstylosa. (some Hoheria, some tree, some plant, some lifeform). Replicators.
Looks best in larger size (right-click on image then click Large).

The other sewn Australian Native Leaves artworks in this set...
I press the leaves first (like you would press flowers) this helps retain a level of their original colour...
Australian Native plant leaves are very strong and solid...
I sew the leaves onto delicate layered fabrics with diverse coloured threads or each other or other vegitation such as paper bark...
the fabric is a symbol of the
"fabric of life"...
the fabric also refers to the spiritual concept of inner spiritual eyes wearing veils...how soft and delicate a veil is but we become comfortable thinking we can still see clearly while wearing them...
I use leaves to reflect the concept of "leaves of one tree" or "leaves of one branch" as a symbol of humanity living all on one planet as one human family...living all on the one "Tree of Life"...
sewing is a symbol for the action of unity...unifying the diverse parts together into unique relationships of harmony in diversity...
when diverse objects and diverse peoples come in contact with each other they can create light and immense beauty if they choose to act through unity...
The other leaf art images are on paper or card...I also use coloured pencils to replace the thread with coloured dots.
