Mags Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I overheard my sister and brother having a conversation about it and they have zero interest in CPs It seems to be drawing the right kind of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vraev Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm happy to see the attention drawn to these plants thanks partly to the honorable person its been named after. If only Sir Daivd would be willing to go visit the peak of Mt. Victoria and actually walk us through the ecology and biodiversity with specific attention to the plant named after him. Aaaaah.......... that would be soooo awsome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
