Grass Trees - Xanthorrhoea - at Cranbourne
Cranbourne Botanical Gardens, outside Melbourne, Victoria, has a wonderful collection of Xanthorrhoea. One specimen, Xanthorrhoea johnsonii is 400 years old. Flower growth is triggered by fire, and the flowers can grow 2-3 cm per day

Hi, I just discovered your blog! The grass trees are amazing. I look forward to seeing more Australian plants. I really enjoy seeing gardens in other climates from my own. Come visit Deb's Garden in Alabama, USA when you can.
What fascinating trees. They look somewhat like the Yucca's that grow here in Arizona.
They're unique! What a beautiful sight!
amazing, beautiful!
