Description
A lovely green "carpet" of tropical plants at the Flecker Botanic Gardens in Cairns, Australia.
The Flecker Botanic Gardens were created in 1886, which means that many of the large plants and trees are lush and well established. The extensive selection of tropical flora includes some rare plants seldom found elsewhere in the world. These include exotic species of palms, gingers, orchids, bamboos, vines, aroids and tropical fruit trees.
Some of the rarest plants in the world can be found at Flecker Botanic Gardens, including a tropical flower known as the Amorphophallus Titanum, which weighs up to 70 kg with a single leaf almost 7 meters across. The exotic rainforest plant is only one of two found in Australia. Amazing arrays of orchids are spotted throughout the gardens, boasting beautiful bright colours that contrast perfectly with the variegated shades of greens. Tropical fruit trees such as the Durian, Purple Mangosteen, Soursop and Black Sapote are star attractions of the Botanic Gardens.

Love the various shapes and colors of green hues exuded in this piece, Bob and Nancy! Sometimes the leaves are more beautiful than the actual blooms of flowers! Love it! Great title too! fave and vote
