Hi Tina,

I don't think you have to subscribe do you? Julian Livsey (my partner in crime on the chileman site) set it up for me as Its easier to update. Im new to this 'blog' lark and I admit its not a very good one as I don't have the time to update it regularly (daily/weekly) to keep it 'fresh'.

Still, its a bit of fun;)

A beautiful site- well done! I've just added it to my favorites list. Next year, I want to take a crack at those purple guys. I think they'll like San Diego.

Hi Mark

Going from strength to strength....really impressed with what you have done and keep on doing.....sure is one in the eye for all those doubting Tompkinsons around when you first started the project....

All the best

Your mystery pod looks like a Purira.

I think the plant is too big for a Purrira. Heres a few more pictures which might help to solve the mystery:
