I put in the name of the first one, perhaps the learned horticulturists can fill in the blanks.

Spot on, it is a very very slow growing plant, and it grows in native forest and national park.  Some people dig it up and try to grow it in their garden, that ends up killing it.  Its also illegal to collect.

That's a very tricky one, I put it there just for fun.  It is actually an old gum tree that died.  In most of the botanical garden here, there is a resident artist, they made  sculptures using dead trees, and this one was sealed and varnished.

No, not really.  None of them are tropical plants.  They belong to the temperate zone.   ... I don't want to give away too much though.

What about we give it a fancy one like "Superbia Galaxia"?  Until someone tell me the proper name.www.tvboxnow.com% s4 G7 J/ l/ h4 m0 u2 w
