Kampuchea - the country o f Lotus. Some of th4e most beautiful flowers grow in most difficult and most simple conditions. Some of the most beautiful souls grow in most difficult situations of life. While Kampuchea has a most troubles past for many decades, almost an entire century, the people have grown beautiful inside. Simple life - sometimes very poor life, but very humble and evolving like a beautiful lotus to a very beautiful soul.
In my newly created Blog topic on Kingdom of Cambodia, you find some more information on life in Kampuchea. In the photo gallery album Photos Kingdom of Cambodia, you'll find a growing number of beautiful nature and life sceneries from Kampuchea.

A bauhinia flower. Taiwan.
The poppy bloomed, but it was so heavy it broke the stem ... I had to prop it up to take photos :(

Hmm, I think a little flowerbed reshuffle is on the cards when I get home or possibly even flowerbed creation. I might have been suffering from the gardeners' affliction of my eyes being bigger than my garden. The car looked like a mobile greenhouse on the way back down the M6 but I bet we weren't the only car on the motorway adorned with foliage. Clematis x aromatica and C. flammula mysteriously found their way into my jute shopping bag, along with a really pretty Nepeta govaniana that I'll have to sneak into the back of a border. I find that yellow flowers divide gardeners in the same way as the variegated/non variegated debate but I can't resist yellow. I don't mind if it's a perfect sunshine yellow, wholesome and cheery or an acid greeny yellow, I'm quite happy with anything in between. The N. govaniana has delicate pale, lemony yellow flowers and is perfection in plant form. Lobelia tupa is a plant that I have been hankering after for a long time and now I am the proud owner of one. Carol Klein warned me about its hallucinogenic properties when she spied it my bag. Everyday's a school day at these shows... A tiny little blackcurrant sage completed my purchases, Salvia microphylla var. microphylla I couldn't resist its tiny little magenta pink flowers and scented foliage, I know that it'll thrive in my garden and it was a bargain, that's my excuse!
One item I would have loved to have brought home with me was this chap. My soon-to-be-husband and I have a little Russian tortoise called Claude so I am very fond of these slightly grumpy shelled creatures. Even though Claude has an uncanny habit of homing in and munching on any plant that I have struggled to grow or is very rare or special, I don't know how he does it! On second thoughts perhaps a stone version is a brilliant idea... Info from:
