Yes, I agree with Mike on the Grevillea sp. re Navid’s post. The flower gives it away. (I’m also from Australia, so I’m familliar with the genus, although I’m not sure on the species of this one. Perhaps Grevillea ‘Long John’.)

Fibonacci again? Does anyone know this plant? Found in San Diego at 5000 ft. elevation.

Name that plant.

Looks like a pine tree from a distance with a flower that is reminiscent of a succulent. I think it’s a desert plant.

Check out Jason’s review on Patrick Blanc’s new book The Vertical Garden.

And I have to agree, it is indeed quite fabulous and I am not at all disappointed. If nothing else, it is worth it to see the pictures of Mr. Blanc himself perched over a waterfall with his green hair.

Hi’s and Hello’s to you all. Got a short question for you guys. I’m not familiar with mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), so do you know if this could be propagated en masse asexually? Rumor has it in the UAE that the indigenous and endemic trees here are resistant to mass asexual propagation. I hope you can prove me wrong….
