Not found at Catholic Missions but found sea side at the numerous resorts around Madang, here is a collection of flora from the region…

Cheers,

Aha! That’s what I call exotic :) Lovely orchids and hibiscus, thanks PM. The others are sweet too, but I don’t know what they are.

Lovely snaps PM. I have no idea what the first few were. Interesting though.

Are you just about ready to pack up and come back to Aus?

Is that right. I’ve forgotten. My question: Is 47067 the seed pod of 070 & 071?

Does anyone use it to catch fish for eating or is it toxic for humans too?

you said madang was on the island of new britain i think?
the flowers are beautiful but your shots of people and landscape give a better impression of the locality.

Yup. A while ago, the people would have used Barringtonia asiatica to catch fish, but it explosives left over from WW2 are more effective…
