As beautiful tropical trees go, this one is right up there. Meet Barringtonia samoensis, known locally as Falaga. This tree is native to Pacific islands, and dangles chains of flowers that fall to the ground in the morning. It grows along streams, where it drops floating fruits.

Fave Samoan plant (so far!) Syzygium neurocalyx or Oli, a small tree with stunning fluffy flowers the size of a tennis ball. The buds are ridged, and the reddish fruits have a fragrance like strawberry with apple. It was traditionally used for funeral ceremonies due to the scent.

It is easy to find beauty in a mountain peak, but the beauty of bogland is more elusive. Those who are inspired by these soggy lands appreciate patterns that others overlook or dismiss. One must search for this unorthodox, unaesthetic beauty. It’s there, waiting to teach us.
When it comes to storing carbon, alpine peatlands are powerhouses. But feral horse grazing and trampling tips the carbon balance in the other direction. Sarah Treby + Samantha Grover (@RMIT) write about how we need to protect and restore our peatlands. theconversation.com/feral-horses-i…
