DO YOU LIKE THIS GARDEN?

" That which has no form creates form. that which has no existence brings things into existence." Rumi

what do you think?
I would like to hear from you of you think of this garden or gardening in general. So feel free to write a message for me. Somebody had told me that I have too many pots and plants in the garden. Hmm. Let me think about that. But they are so lovely and come October most of pots will disappear for the winter. I don't know, I think it is a conundrum of life. Too many good things can't be good. Let me know if you have the same dilemma.

talk about your garden
I would also love to see your garden and read about your reasons and descriptions about it. There is no such thing as right or wrong garden, good or bad. It is all up to you. The most important thing is that you enjoy doing it and it bring happiness just being the way it is. Or if you have read a book about gardening that you would like to recommend to others, do let me know.

talk about your travel
Also if you have been to any garden or place that leaves such a great impression on you, do tell me and I am reading.

tell me about your garden,
i think it is amazing

My small garden is filled to the fence with bamboos, acer, roses, hostas and clematis. The evergreen plants such as bamboos, 'Fatsia Japonica', Rhododendron and ferns form the backbone of the garden, so the garden maintain its lush appearance in winter. I was very lucky last year as some other deciduous perennial seem to stay evergreen due to the sheltered position of the garden. Even the roses were evergreen. I have a soft spot for purple flowers and lime green leaves. The bright green yellowish leaves brighten up cloudy days and corners.

I went for a short trip to the Island of Langkawi, off the north west coast of Malaysia. It is about 1 hour flight journey from (KLIA) Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The landscapes of the island and the coasts are amazing and I love to live there.
The green paddy fields are breathtakingly beautiful and I am always reminded of its serenity. The wind blew lightly and the air was clean. For more information of this legendary island, go to

and if art is your passion, visit the Ibrahim Hussein Cultural Foundation Gallery
www.ihmcf.org
and enjoy some dolphins watching while sipping your iced lemon teas.
