I must confess to feeling a little envious of your view though - I live in the suburbs of London and my view is only of lots of other houses, roads and cars! And as for being lonely, the faceless masses can make one feel just as lonely at times but, as my dear friend Liza says, you need never be again, as long as you have an internet connection, because we're all here to share our gardening troubles and triumphs! |
Hi Bambi...Thank You for your kind words and I am happy to be welcomed by great friends like U!
God Bless.  |

I hope that even though you talk about being lonely, you do have someone to share your garden with since you keep using "our" when referring to the beach. Perhaps there are others in your community who have an interest in gardening also. You should keep an eye out for other dwellings where gardens have been planted. In my experience, gardeners are the most generous souls on the planet and would be thrilled to have someone admire their gardens.
At any rate, Liza and Jack are correct that you have now found a great place to share your garden photos and talk with others who can offer advice when you need it. |
Hi Faith...So kind words of yours...Thank You!Hope to be with U all for quite some time. |

Have you caught up with Jacqueline's thread? She has a small balcony area ,but has planted it so that it looks stunning .Some height ,as she has arranged it, will make a small area look lush and full. I like your 'Bali' ornament .

Once Again: Welcome!!17 Jan '07 4:34 pm
Hi, Nondin-
I just discovered your great pictures! They show a wonderful place that many of us here in Canada dream of visiting during our long, cold winter. The closest scenes to those of where you live that I have seen "for real" were in Belize or Puerto Rico, but as others have noted, it's amazing how similar architecture is in all subtropical places. Of course, I guess the same could be said about buildings in more northerly (or southerly) climes as well!
I remember first visiting the tropics and being stunned by the intensity if the flower colours there. I had never before seen trees like the Jacaranda or Flamboyant tree with such "Knock-your-eyes-out" colours. Our maples have tiny, green flowers, hardly noticeable! And our fruit trees, like apples, pears, etc. are relatively small, unlike your tropical fruits such as papayas. I remember asking fruit sellers in Belize why the giant papayas they were selling didn't break the branches on which they grew. They all looked at me as if I had come from Mars! Later I saw a papaya tree in a backyard with fruit on it, and the light dawned on me: they don't grow on branches!! I sure felt embarrassed!
I also have never been able to forget the wonderful bougainvillea vines covering walls, etc.
I'm looking forward to seeing your garden develop and become the truly wonderful place you hope for!
Once again, welcome aboard!

Maylasia, what a beautiful country. I have never had the pleasure of visiting your homeland, but my younger daughter did a couple of years ago. She loved it and raved about the beauty of the place and it's people.
Thanks for bring another perspective to the Forum. |
