I visited the Vogelpark Walsrode and they had a Wollemia nobilis ! It’s a living fossil from the family Araucariaceae
, it was thought the family was gone extinct 2 million years ago, until a small population of these trees was discovered.
Hopefully they get more popular and easier affordable, I’d like to own one someday.
Lagarosiphon cordofanus, pearling like it’s life depends on it. While it’s technically a water weed, it is surprisingly difficult to care for and grows quite slow, even under best care.
