Ooline Forest

I finally stopped in at the Ooline Forest Park to find out about the Ooline Tree. The Cadelila pentastylis dates from the time of Australia's megafauna around 1.8 million year ago. It has no known living relatives.

Orchid

An orchid grwoing in a Moreton Bay Fig Tree. My mother attached this orchid to the tree many years ago and it has been slowly taking hold. This year was the largest bloom I have seen, most likely from the long wet seasons due to consecutive La Nina episodes.
