Beautiful rivers and creeks with many waterfalls are flowing down the mountains of Mindoro island. Tropical rivers almost body temperature but crystal clear and of near drinking water quality. The most beautiful river scenery of my choice is this one - a small waterfall at Tukuron nature paradise. Sn invitation to take a bath in a truly healing environment.

A water buffalo as a friend and helper instead of expensive machinery. Most small farms have at least a water buffalo as helper in farm work or to carry heavy stuff. A water buffalo needs no fuel and no maintenance, runs on freely available food and is quiet and environment friendly, yet a water buffalo can do all the really important work that needs to be done and may be too strenuous for humans to do.

bamboo_wales_arrangement.jpgI'm never quite sure what to make of the floristry tents at shows, the displays are always fantastic but I'm not sure quite what the average person can take away from them. Tatton is no exception, this year the tent is dominated by an enormous display of giant bamboo canes each supporting a tropical arrangement. This 'Bamboo Forest' is all the work of the Welsh College of Horticulture, (the team that brought us the giant ball of flowers at last year's show).

Once again their display was awarded gold, and I have to admit that it was very striking so I could see why. While nobody is going to create an arrangement on anything like this scale at home, there were some nice plant combinations of orchids and exotic foliage that would look great on anyone's dining table.

warwickshire_sun_arrangement.jpgWhile wandering through the display my eyes were also drawn to a large exhibit created by North Warwickshire and Hinckley College that has been inspired by the planets of the solar system. Very apt considering it was only a few days ago, that we were all celebrating the anniversary of the first moon landings. Each of the planets were created in different colours, with red anthuriums for Mars and equisetum strands for the rings of Saturn. At the centre of the display the Sun was created with a stream of exotic orange and yellow arum and some kangaroo paw cascading down like flares radiating out from the centre.
