2 white lotus blossoms side by side in a little clean pond.
This lotus pond is so clean to invite for a bath! Yet with all the photo equipment carried along, the fun part has to be postponed for a later encounter with God's beautiful nature. First work, then fun. That reminds me now that while living in an island paradise, my last bath in the ocean was exactly one year ago. May be time for a bath soon ...
This small white lotus belongs to the smaller reddish lotus leaves on the photo. The large green lotus leaf belongs to either a large white or large pink lotus flower currently without blossom.

The poppy bloomed, but it was so heavy it broke the stem ... I had to prop it up to take photos :(

It's always interesting to earwig on conversations at a flower show, you can't really help it when there are so many visitors, and everyone's got their own ideas as to what makes a great show garden or exhibit. One comment I hear time and time again is how inspiring the gardens are and how they're going to try to copy 'that' colour scheme or 'this' style of planting. The thing that I'm going to take away and copy from this years show is not plants but paths.
The back to back gardens are very good for hard landscaping ideas and I spotted a brick edged path in-filled with pebbles stuck into concrete, much like a mosaic. Or, there's a stone path with grass instead of mortar and something more contemporary, a metal grid suspended over a bog garden - almost like a bridge. However, the one that I'm going to copy at home is the path in 'The Garden for Bees'. It's a gravel path planted with an informal drift of thyme, which smells as good as it looks. The good news for me is that I've already got a gravel path, all I have to do is add the 'thyme' and once the flower show is over, I'll have the 'time' to do it. Info from:
