Araucaria Araucana (part II)

@kairospix: Thanks! This tree has been planted in 1972. So I guess it is 50 years old.

@eddy: Thank you, much appreciated! :-)

@Sik13: I was lucky: the light was just right.

@Eric: Thank you! Trees like this one always catch my eye.

@Wolfgang Prigge: Thanks - some weeks later I purchased one for myself. Will just have to wait for 50, 60 years until it has reasonable size... ;-)

@Michael: Ich freue mich auch schon wieder drauf. Der Botanische Garten in Düsseldorf ist übrigens auch sehenswert, besonders die Kuppel.

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks! It was tree-time :-)

@gandz: Indeed, you better don't touch the needles! Thanks :-)

@Porcsin: Thanks! Sometimes conditions are just fine :-)

@leslie: Thanks! This tree is truly amazing.

@Twelvebit: It's very spiky, if not thorny! But a great eye-catcher!

@Daily Phototherapy: Definitely! You're feeling millions of years younger! ;-)
