I am standing in front of what we call in the states a 'Norfolk Island Pine.' But, we have them in pots in our houses in the Midwest of the U.S.!! I have a friend in Rockford, Ben, who has a pretty big one in his family room, BUT not this big!! These gorgeous TREES grow right outside the gate to my school. Yunnan Province is the home to over 15,000 plant species. It is one of the most biologically diverse places on the earth. The tropical plants growing around Kunming make it a place of constant wonder to an old Midwesterner like me. Oh, for those of you suffering under the harsh winter back home, there is a blooming geranium right outside my window on the ledge.

The Norfolk is still growing and is nearly 30 years old. Another 5 feet or so and we will have to start trimming it because it will be up the the ceiling on the second floor.
Your blog looks good.
We have had 11 minutes of sun here in the last two weeks. It kind of does a number on the flora and fauna.
Hi, Jen - WOW - that's a big, beautiful tree. So, you have a geranium growing outside your window? Means you have warm weather and sunshine. Want to make a trade - we'll send you some snow. LOL. We miss you. Can't wait for the summer to see you and Jeff. Take care.
