家园花集昆士兰瓦惹塔

(2016-02-14 15:23:50) 下一个

前文是家里园子里有的几款灌木.这次介绍园子里的一款只有澳大利亚东南部有的树种,英文叫Queensland Waratah(昆士兰瓦惹塔),才搬来这里住的时候,整院子,在当地的花园店见到这株树,还不到一人高.因为喜欢它幼叶子和北半球的橡树叶子的开裂很相似,就买来种上了.

这6年过去了,小树长大,开花啦.

开了几次以后,树开始有种子了.

据说籽也是要火烧过之后才会萌芽—澳大利亚的许多树种都是这样.在自然界,猜这样一来不会跟母树木形成恶性竞争.

看,树还是小,花还从树干上出来.等到成年的大树,花才会从枝头出来.据说,在澳大利亚,这款树的大树开起花来,实在是一景!

不了解的朋友,这里有(维基百科)-

Alloxylon flammeum, commonly known as the Queensland tree waratah or red silky oak, is a medium-sized tree of the family Proteaceae found in the Queensland tropical rain forests of northeastern Australia. It has shiny green elliptical leaves up to 18 cm (7.2 in) long, and prominent orange-red inflorescences that appear from August to October, followed by rectangular woody seed pods that ripen in February and March. Juvenile plants have large (up to 25 cm (10 in) long) deeply lobed pinnate leaves. Previously known as Oreocallis wickhamii, the initial specimen turned out to be a different species to the one cultivated and hence a new scientific name was required. Described formally by Peter Weston and Mike Crisp in 1991, A. flammeum was designated the type species of the genus Alloxylon. This genus contains the four species previously classified in Oreocallis that are found in Australasia.

看在园子里,还是不起眼的.
