Rose by itself

When all has been taken away from you, just as it happened repeated times to the people of Kampuchea, then a human starts to remember the true values of life. True values have nothing to do with economy nor with high tech or industrialization. True values are proportional to a most direct human to human relationship on the basis of mutual love and mutual care for each other.
Care for each other results in care for an entire culture and beyond. Simple life focused on the essential part of true innermost human nature is sweet - infinitely sweeter than technology and money oriented life.
A lotus flower may show best the beauty that can arise out of most difficult conditions of life. Most western countries could learn a lot from cultures based on love and mutual care for each other.

Many people have commented that the trade stands at this year's shows have been every bit as good as some of the gardens themselves, and at Tatton I have to agree. Many of the gardens created outside some of the nursery stands were exquisite and beautifully done. trade_stand_display.jpgI was particularly impressed with the display outside Brooklands nursery stand, which featured a swathe of perennials in a range of pastel colours. It was just the thing to entice visitors into the stand to buy plants (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). I try to resist buying things, but I always like to take home something from the flower shows I work at, and in the end I chose a Dierama. I purchased a large plant from the plant societies marquee, which was accompanied by plenty of useful advice from the grower. Hopefully it will do well in a sunny free-draining spot I have in my new garden. I got at lot of attention as I walked back to our tent with it, I don't think I've had so many admiring glances in a long while. If you're ever at a flower show and want to get attract attention, forget waving a coloured umbrella and choose a large Dierama instead.
