Other Gwondanaland Plantings

cycads

I do not want to give you the impression I have the sole little piece of gwondanaland struggling to survive. A lot of direct descendants of the original Cretaceous forest still struggle on today out in wild. Some are ideally acclimatized for the harsh climates of southern Africa and Australia.  Others are tropical forest specialists. Some are being pampered in special collections, like these cycads in Adelaide's Botanical Gardens.
