Which where the participating countries, then?

Thanks for posting these - one day I'll make it to a world convention.

What, please, is the botanical name for the trees you have labelled Mangle Boton? My brief internet trawl is throwing up several possibilities, all of which seem to be some sort of mangrove or another. Are these ones Conocarpus or something else?


PS I'll not tell you what mangle boton means in certain areas of Glasgow!
