21.01.2022 One of our elegant palms: Brahea armata. Brahea is a genus of palms in the Arecaceae family. A very attractive plant, with large, blue-grey fan leaves that grows slowly to about 12m tall. A drought tolerant palm from the dry inland areas of the USA and Mexico.The spectacular inflorescences that extend out beyond the crown add more beauty to the already stunning specimen.... # waitearboretumpalms #waitearboretum #palm #droughttolerantplants #califonia #mexicopalms #brahea #braheaarmata #arecaceae #visitthearboretum #universityofadelaide #universityofadelaidebiodiversity #plantkingdom #monocot #uoasustainability #urrbrae #waitecampus

21.01.2022 The Waite Arboretum has two main palm collections: the first one was established in 1928, the handsome Chilean wine palm Jubaea chilensis (featured in the video) is part of this stunning old collection. The second collection was established in 1994 with donations from the Palm & Cycad Society (S.A.) and contains many cycads specimens apart from palms. Altogether there are more than 280 palms from 33 genera and more than 100 cycads from seven genera. #waitearboretumpalms #palms #cycads #universityofadelaide

20.01.2022 In spite of the wet weather we had a wonderful Working Bee at the Garden of Discovery with the courageous team of the Mediterranean Garden Society SA group this morning. It's huge the difference it can be done in just a couple of hours with hard-working volunteers like these. @mediterraneangardensociety #gardenofdiscovery #mediterraneangardensociety #mediterraneangardensociety #workingbee #volunteer #volunteersthankyou #acacia #acaciaglaucoptera #grevillea #droughttolerantyarddesign #droughttolerantplants #universityofadelaide #gardensofinstagram #gardeninspiration #gardenlife @ University Of Adelaide Waite Campus @mediterraneangardensocietysouthaustralia

17.01.2022 Learn about the challenges our 'native-bees' are facing and how you can help them! Dr. Katja Hogendoorn, Director of the Australian Entomological Society and research associate at the University of Adelaide’s School of Agriculture talks about this and more! The Waite Arboretum provides Katja and her team a great site where to conduct some of their research projects. You can also come to visit the 'Waite Arboretum Native Bee Hotel' https://friendsofwaitearboretum.org/featu/na...tive-bee-hotel/ and the 'BB&B (bee, butterfly and bird) Habitat Garden' https://www.adelaide.edu.au/waite-historic/arboretum/BB&B/ #plantnativespecies #habitatforbees #habitatgardening #gardeningwithnatives #flowersfornativebees #nativebees #australiannativebees #beehotel #bnbproject #bbbgarden #universityofadelaide University Of Adelaide Waite Campus The University of Adelaide

16.01.2022 Time for our 'Under-canopy' walk #2 Tipuana tipu Let's walk into the woods together. You will hear the crispy sound of my steps as yours and together we will enjoy the view of our handsome trees from under their exhuberant canopies. Be attentive to the song of birds and the light fitering through the branches. Imagine the smell in the air and connect with nature.

01.01.2022 Tipuana tipu. Originally from South America and only species in the Tipuana genus, T. tipu is largely grown for shade and for its beautiful and fragrant yellow pea-like flowers that appear in late summer (last year photos). The flowers mature to a legume type pod called samara with one seed at the end. In South America they grow much taller and wider than in the drier South Australian environment. Beautiful avenues in Buenos Aires, Argentina are framed by these giant beauties which, when in flower, impregnate the air with their delightful scent. #tipuanatipu #waitearboretum #peaflower #yellowflower #connectwithnature #lovetrees #southamericantrees
