“Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.” – John Muir
Some trees that I found in the Wilson’s Botanical Gardens. The sign says that the Wollemi Pine is one of the world’s oldest and rarest plants. This is for Parul’s Thursday Tree Love

I love that intriguing quote! It’s interesting how many different kinds of pines trees there are. This one is a beauty.
It would be nice to find out, now that you’ve asked. Thanks JoAnna!
Thanks for showing us this rare tree. Let’s hope that he’s able to survive for an other million years and longer… keep it’s habitat “top secret”.
Have a nice day,
Rudi
It can’t be a secret, there’s a signage beside it! haha Thanks for commenting.
Thank you! This has mad my day. I didn’t know about this plant or the Wollemi national park and for a very special reason this I will remember this. Probably forever. I checked and a google search tells me that the name come from an aboriginal idiom meaning “being attentive” (eyes open!). My last name happens to be the first four letters – so this is now my personal tree!
Wow, now you have a tree. 👏👏👏 haha have a great day my friend!
😄
This tree does have the look of something that co existed with dinosaurs. I have never seen one in person.
I wasn’t aware too that it is rare and historic but … it’s good to know right?
a gorgeous pine!
Thanks amiga… how are things going with you now? Hope you are well rested and are you back at work?
This is beautiful and so glad you shared. I hadn’t heard of this one. Where is Wilson Botanical Garden, Teresa? I googled and it says Costa Rica. Is this right?
Thank you for sharing us this rare tree. I hope to see you back tomorrow.
Glad you liked it Parul. It is in Southeast of Melbourne, Australia.
