Leik hay omg Mel found time to post. Woot.


The second trip was on 28/4/07. The group this time consisted of seven people, but two were not in the picture. Haha. The guide for this tour is Teck Seng, the person in the middle. We almost had no guide for that day but luckily he came. ^_^





















To your left, the imprint of spore sacs on a fern.
To your right, the spores themselves.
*shudder* Spores are creepy. That's why I don't like mushrooms. Ever since Primary school when we learned about fungi mmkay?

Omgwtfbbq what are those white cabbages? They are stromatolites, floating clumps of bacteria, the first living things that formed. Life was started by these bacteria cause they can photosynthesize (in your face chlorophyll >:E) and thus produce oxygen. These living fossils still exist somewhere in Australia waters where it's salty and shady.

A structure of a volcano. Innit pretty? The lavapool bubbles. o:

Cooksonia, one of the first few vascular plants that evolved. However, it's extinct :c

Teh pretty peacock fern~ It shines a metallic blue under shade.

The elephant fern or elephant foot fern, cause of its fat stumps.

A doggy's footprint! I wonder who it belongs to. <_<>_>


TEH NEXT WEEK TEH 5TH OF MAY.
Mhmm, contrast to the previous tour, there were three tour guides who arrived today, Shuyi, Teck Seng and Kee Meng. So they decided that Kee Meng would lead the group and give general information, Shuyi would touch up on the details and Teck Seng would just tag along :D And Gene didn't come :c She had a fever.
....

Ok, so I didn't take many pictures. I wanted to listen to what all the guides were saying D: Kee Meng was very farney, he had all these odd stories and folklore about how the plants came to be. And when you seperate one section of a horsetail from another and put it back, it can still grow!!! Liek whoaaaa. I'm not going to go to details on the rest of the trip. IF YOU ALL WANNA KNOW, YOU SHOULD GO FOR TEH EVOLUTION GARDEN TOUR, YES.




















There were two lilies in the pond. One white, one pink. They were the first flowers to exist.


Okay, end of post. A picture of Mel and Natalie with no Gene. ;_;


A picture of the owner of the footprint from tour before. (Nah, not true. It's just a very cute and warm chow chow.)

Is it a) A happy patch that inserts happy in you so that you smile; or
b) Natalie sticking my happy mosquito patch that keeps mosquitos away on her face?
You decide.

HELLO.
see. im finally updating. making you happy natalie. :]





this is the drynaria plant; its leaves are very big and can be used to store and wrap food.


rattan with hooks





^the kedondong; makes incense and smells like turpentine.


this is a spiderweb we spotted; its a different kind of spiderweb, its not flat like the normal spiderwebs, but its more like those 'spiderwebs' we climb in the playground, its shaped a bit like a cone so that it can more easily be able to trap insects.
the tree is vandalised ^ : (



^ cactus plant, leaves grow in spiral position to ensure that every leaf gets sunlight.


a very recently fallen tree.


also, the tour guide told us about the sound we often hear in forests. the sounds are produced by the cicada. (its an insect. :] ) it calls from the membrane of the wings to the stomache. the sound can be heard in normal sunny weather but it will stop when it cools down and is going to rain, because the membrane will become lose and so they cannot make the sound.

OKAY, thats all i can rmb. im sorry its so little, i actually have a little more information but i cant remember which plant belongs to which photo. :[ pfft : (

btw, group, i can make a skin for our blog if you want. :] tell me in school or in the tagboard if you want okay?? i can draw our logo on our skin.
love, trisha. :]
