If we lived in and or around Brisbane, I'd want to go to the Botanic Gardens every other week. It was really awesome to see such huge trees from hot parts of the world--full grown trees you wouldn't be able to fit in a glass dome in the northern US.

| Red Powder Puff (Calliandra haematocephala) |
 |
| Soaking up the sun. (We were really surprised the first time we saw a giant dragon lizard running around.) |
 |
| Bombax ceiba, the Red Silk Cotton Tree |
 |
| Bombax costatum |
 |
| Jacaranda caucana |
 |
| Kookaburra in the Erythrina |
 |
| Japanese Garden |
 |
| Look at that big aloe! |
 |
| (Not sure about the tree, but) Aloe branddra aiensis |
 |
| There was one enclosed dome garden--probably to regulate humidity more than anything else |
 |
| Don't remember what this weird flower was, but it sure was big |
 |
| Eastern Rosella in the Erythrina |
 |
| Aloe vryheidensis |
