Doryanthes palmeri (given its size). Absolute unit of a plant. Takes 10+ years to flower with only two species in the genus. Apparently the flower spikes are edible once roasted. #ausnative

Lilly pillies are a popular #nativeplant growing in gardens and used as street plantings across the country, and the tasty #fruit are perfect for making cordial! Check out the #recipe on our website https://t.co/CnAvx3CTJV #lillypillies

Collisions between giant landmasses and flooding by ancient seas created canyon's rock layers. Squeezed between the Pacific Ocean floor and Rocky Mountains, these layers rose to form high-elevation plateaus. Over time the Colorado River carved this massive canyon. 📷T. Karlovetz

It's #NationalBeanDay! Beans are the seed (fruit) of some plants from the Family Fabaceae, they're also referred to as legumes. And back in the Paleocene (58-60 MYA) they dominated the environment of what's now Colombia.
