Hi Chris,
Your reading up on New Caladonian plants, did you read about the
Parasitaxus, the only parasitic gymnosperm in the world. It is
totally purple!!

Also, Hi Paul,
Just wondering why the birds would enter the vase of these
Bromeliads? For a bath or a drink I guess? OUCH!!
And, is the black layer on the inside walls of Cephalotus traps
caused by dense photosynthetic pigments or something else?

Richard.
