It's like learning dinosuar names to me. That's why there are books and computers, my mind can fill with less complicated facts that are easier to recall. I do admire people that remember all the botanical names. I have trouble remembering people names. Now that's something to worry aboutl.Teresahttp://blog.gardenshoesonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-91712907556393599872010-02-11T10:17:18.242+08:002010-02-11T10:17:18.242+08:00looks like a fun show!

Flowers dehisce but other plants can easily recover when brought to their nurseries again.<br /><br />Tina, thanks for understanding. Actually, not many of my visited blogs continue looking at my posts, hehe. However, a few become followers like you and i am grateful for that. But i also choose blogs which i really enjoy, not only to entice followers. Now i understand the feelings of people whose creativity are appreciated. Those vines are just vines but very artistic, aren't they!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-82497181856385020782010-02-10T02:52:52.442+08:002010-02-10T02:52:52.442+08:00I love Garden Shows.

I enjoy very much the feeling that i was able to please someone with, otherwise very boring photos. <br /><br />Stephanie, as i mentioned, these photos have long been in my files. These are last year though. Sometimes, i only see posters of shows when they are finished. <br /><br />Helen of islandgal246, i also love your posts as we have almost the same climate and plants. Besides, i envy your own wide garden, which i also would love to do, given time and money, which i dont have. How i wish we are just near for visits.<br /><br />Hi Sunita, the displays are put up by private nurseries, and sometimes one display is put up by groups of people cooperatively to give a beautiful show. Sometimes the group ask some breeders for their bloom to be displayed. These also serve as information for the new breed.<br /><br />Hi Noelle and Rosie, that vine is actually just an old dried vine placed as an accent. Yes that alone was able to convey the jungly effect! They were able to get your attention too. And yes, i always use a comfy shoes because it really takes hours to finish, especially because i wait for people to leave before taking photos. <br /><br />Kathleen, thanks. Definitely you are right. Beautiful flowers and landscapes clear the clogged mind, and reinforce the feeling of being human, strengthens our sense of well-being. And everybody seems to be nice to everybody, it radiates a sence of peacefulness. <br /><br />So come everyone, let's visit garden shows more often. And dont forget you will receive newly manufactured OXYGEN direct from the factory!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-4805268854296007702010-02-09T08:32:38.200+08:002010-02-09T08:32:38.200+08:00How lovely!

Comfortable shoes needed when you go to flower shows. Loads of my favourite tropicals in your photos. Can't wait to see part 2 - have you any close ups of that snake vine?
