Brisbane Botanical Gardens Bonsai House.

today i went to the botanical gardens here in brisbane ,
they have an awsome sized display of trees over 400 in fact , 160 of them are ficus alone,my guess would be because they grow so well here
here are a few pics.
the photos all have a cassete in the foreground for scale (it was the best i could find in the car.
this azalea is from 1956.
