Botanical Gardens

We went to the Botanical Gardens in Victoria today. Here's Lisa with a big Fan Palm.

The flower of the Cannonball Tree.
Karen and Lisa inspecting this female Coco de Mer tree planted by the Duke of Edinburgh (or HRH Edinburgh as the plaque says) in 1956. The Coco de Mer produces the largest nut in the world and this one has 77.
This evening we listened to Havant & Waterlooville draw 1 v 1 with Swansea in the FA Cup. It's a small world.
