Taken in the "Porongurup National Park" in the south of Western Australia this "Kingia Australis" grass tree out of the ashes generates new growth a few months after a devastating bush fire.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Let's not even talk about the fact that I've never seen a plant like that before..that it's growing from the ashes and regenerating life there is quite the amazing sight...great find.

This is sooo amazing. Growing from the ashes. It must be healthy to have that around it. I love this plant. It has such a royal look. Thanx for such prettiness Al. Verena
