Alloe flowers
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. 
Nice violete flowers
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.
