Daffodil bulbs curing
Purple water lily of Cambodia grows almost entirely in very dirty, muddy or polluted waters. Water lilies like so many other plants convert pollution into something reusable by nature and humans.
The purple water lily is an example of how powerful God's nature is - to grow from dirty soil in dirty polluted water and to produce such splendid beauty and sweetest nectar for us.

Floral bedding is always something that divides gardeners; they either love it or hate it. There seems to be no half measure. While I wouldn't do it in my own garden I have to admit I think it looks great at Tatton and the 'Conwy Butterflies' created by Conwy County Borough Council display made of marigolds and sempervivum is a worthy winner of the R HS/ Ball Colegrave National Flower Bed Competition. The displays are always of a very high standard and there are many that stand out for me including the helicopter in the Cheltenham in Bloom display (Silver) and the cyclists on the Bury Borough Council display. There is even a 'Yellow Submarine' (Silver) courtesy of Vale Royal Borough Council, perfectly placed for suitable accompaniment from the bandstand. Many of the displays have interesting stories behind them and a large tank created out of plants was one that stuck out for me. It's been created by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council in honour of Fred Kite, a resident of their borough. It commemorates the two military medals he was awarded while serving with the Royal Tank Regiment in North Africa. A fitting tribute, and certainly an explosion of colour. I've been trying to persuade my colleague Louise to love the flower beds without much success although she did admit that she liked the penguins in the 'Chill Out' display. The RHS are launching Britain's Best Flower Bed Competition for the nation's best flowerbed to rival those at Tatton. The competition is open to any team or individuals working on public bedding displays around the country. If you think you have what it takes, make sure you take a picture of your flowerbed before August 31 and find out how you can enter at the RHS Britain in Bloom site. The winner will have the chance to compete in the National Flower Bed Competition at Tatton 2009.

Like, flowers
White Lotus blossom almost like a snow flake - a Cambodia dwarf lotus. This white mini-lotus was almost haunting me since days. The mini-lotus ( may be a dwarf lotus ) is so tiny and cute yet most difficult to photograph. Today however was my lucky day in a lotus pond area far from my place. The price for the dwarf-lotus photos: A whole bunch of leeches on my legs! Nothing serious, but now I know that we have m any different types of different leeches in Cambodia! Different colors and different sizes.
The size of the small lotus blossom is about as wide as my thumb! The anatomy and physiology of this lotus is different from other lotus seen so far and later I may elaborate more in details.
