Flecker Botanical Gardens, Tropical botanical garden in Edge Hill, Australia
The Flecker Botanical Gardens spans 38 hectares of native Australian flora, featuring rare palms, gingers, orchids, bamboos, and tropical fruit trees.
The gardens originated in 1886 when Eugene Fitzalan established an ornamental garden that attracted visitors and created paths through the cultivated land.
The North Queensland Naturalist Club maintains a collection of over 10,000 plant specimens, contributing to the botanical research of Australian tropical species.
The gardens open daily from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with free guided tours available Monday through Friday starting at 10:00 AM from Friends' House.
The gardens house the Amorphophallus Titanum, a tropical flower weighing up to 70 kilograms with a single leaf measuring nearly 7 meters across.
