2010-12-17 Lyon Arboretum again

Last time we were rushed through the arboretum because it closes at 4pm...

There were lots of various ginger things. These were about 18in tall.


My favorite native Hawaiian plant: Metrosideros polymorpha.


Emphasis on the poly: the lemon yellow form.


Tacca chantrieri. Black Bat flower.


Something tropicalesque.


The plant this was on looked a lot like a Podocarpus... it obviously isn't... Don't know what the heck it is, though.


Hey, I have one of those... not quite that big, but close.
