The Jackfruit Artocarpus heterophyllus

This is the amazing Jackfruit Artocarpus heterophyllus which you can see right now in our Rainforest Biome.

Producing the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, a jackfruit can weight up to 50kg. The fruit is said to taste like banana and pineapple – yum. However the outer skin smells like rotting onion. urgh!

Also flowering right now in the Mediterranean Biome is the beautiful Khali ginger lily with its fragrant pale yellow and red flower spikes. Its originates from the Himalayan mountains.

Also looking (and smelling) good in the Med right now; Fuschia boliviana, Bougainvillea, Protea, Hibiscus and Banksia.

There are lots more great horticulture pictures in our Flickr group and our photo galleries.
