This week solved two of my mysteries and it was being with people, not being on the Net, that did it. The mystery plant I found at the nursery and which has been putting out impressive fronds, has turned out to be a Queensland Black bean tree which grows in our rain forests.

The Black Bean Tree
This has made a very easy to care for indoor plant, but now I am very impressed! I have a rainforest indoors now. My other discovery was at the supermarket where I found a jar of Hoyt's Lupini. Lupin seeds which are supposed to be very nutritious. They are packed in brine and are supposed to be eaten as a snack. I am not game enough to try them yet since I had read about the allergies they can cause! I'll wait...but I have some now!
