Had to get the koi to SA first ...then ship them to Zambia..

THAT'S UNFAIR! THEY ARE USING SOME AUSTRALIAN NATIVES BEFORE WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The second top picture in the last post of photos features a Darwinia of some sort.
*EDIT* Just realised the name is on the label

It is
Darwinia taxifolia, a plant I have wanted to try for some time now.

Yes that is Osaka castle...and as U go from it towards the train underground...at the end of the park with the cherry blossoms are the little nurseries.
Thank U all for the lovely comments..
Will post my pond and Koi since there is interest. He he he! Going to the koi section.
