Dragon gardens northwest





Beautiful pink lotus bud. Like fruits - lotus are harvested in various stages and used as food resource, offerings to Buddha or for decoration in Cambodia. Pink lotus might be the queen of all Cambodian lotus flower and one of the most widely spread across the country. The pink lotus is the common color used for offerings to Buddha in pagodas of Cambodia.

The end is near - but delicious for this lotus blossom. The next step of the lotus life cycle is a delicious one - and fertile as well!

One of my highlights at this year's show has been the 'Art in the Garden'. As you wander around the showground you come across a variety of work from fibreglass cows to steel, pine and charcoal sculptures, as well as more traditional artwork, using willow and oak. moorcroft.jpgNot to be outdone however, many garden designers have used art in their show gardens. The Moorcroft Natural Woman Garden incorporates a handcrafted Moorcroft tile featuring the garden's plants, bees and butterflies. There's even more artwork from designers who are showcasing their work here. leaping_hare.jpgOne of my favourites is by an artist who has created leaping hares from twisted, plastic-coated wire - he's really managed to inject movement into his pieces. I'd love to take one home but I can't afford the price tag.
