Sludge trudging

Post by MattA »

Yesterday afternoon a couple mates & I went for a walk up a local creek (they called it sludge trudging as we mostly walked in the creek). I miss judged a spot & ended up deeper than I really wanted to get :lol: the upshot was noticing this Glochidion ferdinandii precariously hanging on to a small island midstream. While drying out we went to speak with the owner of the land & was given permission to collect it.

Cheers Andrew, it will be a bit of fun in a few years when the current ant inhabitants have finished their work. All I have to do is grow a canopy :palm:

Ps.. To give some idea of size, its planted in a 25cm pot.
