DSCF0712 30-Apr-2005 11:56am The Eden Project! We finally made it there! This place currently has the worlds 2 glass houses, the 2 'biodomes'. One is "humid tropics", the other is "warm temperate". In 1998, this man-made valley was an abandoned china-clay quarry. The first thing to do was fill it in with 2 million tonnes of dirt. |

DSCF0755 30-Apr-2005 2:28pm One of the "ansestors" of the banana plant. These are fertile, but the fruit is not ediable. Apparently, the banana plant itself is NOT fertile, it is only spread by man! BTW technically, the banana plant is a herb, not a tree. |

DSCF0785 30-Apr-2005 4:23pm These crazy plants have evolved to survive forest fires! These massive seeds lie dormant, and open after a fire. With all the other plants burnt away, these would thrive! (American) |
