Damage by coconut palm rhinoceros beetle due to mono-culture and excessive density of coconut palms in many areas of Mindoro, we see thousands of palms with damaged leaves. Look at the palm leaves in front left to see some leaves look like cut. That is the result of a tiny ( compared to the size of the palm ) beetle, the Asiatic rhinoceros beetle. One single beetle of the size of 2-3 cm can kill an entire coconut palm.
The purpose of the Asiatic rhinoceros beetle is the re-establish balance in nature where mankind has destroyed natural balance. Hence the Asiatic rhinoceros beetle re-establishes divine Feng Shui in forests and jungle.
The island of Mindoro is missing rain forest, wild jungle free of mono-cultures and huge plantations of ONE kind of tree. Nature needs diversification to remain healthy and strong. Nature's purpose is to keep us humans healthy and strong and to maintain balance on the entire planet.

agapanthus_plant_soc_marque.jpgI enjoy a quick foray into the National Plant Societies Marquee as there are always a wealth of unusual things on offer that aren't available from the large nurseries. This year the displays put on by all the plant societies of the North West are especially good, with a wide range of plants available, everything from Brugmansia, Agapanthus and succulents to carnivorous Sarracenia.

Where some shows have a small table devoted to each one, at Tatton they do things differently, grouping all the plants together to make displays of mixed plant types from all the different exhibitors. The effect is a great display which really relates to everyday gardens, and shows that anyone can be a national collection holder and still have an interesting and varied garden.

plant_societies_marquee.jpgFor me the best part of the marquee was the stall, manned by groups from across the north of England and featured a wonderful mixture of different perennials, vegetables and houseplants all grown by the members themselves. Each plant was lovingly grown and labelled, and sold with the helpful advice of the person that propagated it. The effect was like a giant garden fete and certainly offered something for everyone. I was in my element buying far too many plants. Oh well at least I'll be able to take some cuttings and bring some plants back for them to sell next year.
