That does look good, you've done a great job. Some other plants which could look quite good in that situation are Droseras (Sun Dews). Some are quite short, but there are some that will grow taller in that environment. You'd need to be selective. Also some Utricularias. There are also very small Bulbophyllum orchids which could go quite well in that humidity. When you think of it, there are so many miniature plants that would be suitable, you'd need a tank the size of a room, LOL.

Hello, I feel that whilst paranoid and misquoted scientists can hinder relevant discussion, so to can emotive responses from people without any knowledge at all. Rainfall has not increased or decreased along the East Coast, whereas human activity has! Also, landscapes are cultural before they are natural! Homogenous landscapes can't be avoided, especially where people are involved and the linear relationship between deep green conservation and the horticultural industry is slight. Jan, what is important for land management, is identifying objectives and what resources are available. If you were to leave your paddock be, it might take 1000 years for a climax forest community to result? Also, you have to determine if your area was 'originally' rainforest or scrub and if so, to what extent? Did Aborigines live there and what was the fire regime and history? What I would like to impress upon you is however, it might be feasible to put a D3 through your paddock and deep-rip with follow up herbicide spraying (pasture grass is terrible for tree establishment!). Then plant (pioneers) up to 4000 stems/ha and wait for canopy closure... Cheers and Good Luck!

Hi Popi. Infect this is a sacred tree belonging to God Shiva for Hindus and we know this trees from past generations since thousands of years.I am located at western India on the bay of Cambay shoreline. We generally have very rough monsoon and rainfall is not very regular,upto 2003 our normal rainfall used to around 15 inches but since 2003 it has picked up and in recent years we had around 40 inches rain in the year 2005/6.This time we have 25 inches and still monsoon is not over yet. In North INdia there are few nurseries who grow this plant regularly and in Nepal you can vastly find this holy tree for hindus. I am black regarding Elaeocarpus reticulatus you spoke of,while googling I found it similar to E.Angustifolius by images.Thx Popi.

It's Dendrobium x superbiens. That's a naturally occuring hybrid between D. bigibbum and D. discolor. They're quite common up the Peninsula from the Daintree.
