First Contact: Meeting William Martin

On Thursday, Phillip and I rented a car and headed out from Melbourne to meet William Martin and see his garden--Wigandia--in Noorat, Australia. Before we got to Noorat, we lunched with William in Camperdown and a conversation (or several) ensued--photographed by Phillip. That plant behind us is the eponymous Wigandia caracasana. (William,  correct me if I'm in error.)For me, this visit was an experience of legend.IMG_6060XIMG_6063X IMG_6064X IMG_6065X IMG_6066X IMG_6068X IMG_6069X IMG_6070X IMG_6072X IMG_6073X IMG_6081X(Well, William has a better version of this shot!)A post on Wigandia, the garden, will follow after our travels are over.
