White and ample flower
Many people have commented that the trade stands at this year's shows have been every bit as good as some of the gardens themselves, and at Tatton I have to agree. Many of the gardens created outside some of the nursery stands were exquisite and beautifully done.
I was particularly impressed with the display outside Brooklands nursery stand, which featured a swathe of perennials in a range of pastel colours. It was just the thing to entice visitors into the stand to buy plants (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). I try to resist buying things, but I always like to take home something from the flower shows I work at, and in the end I chose a Dierama. I purchased a large plant from the plant societies marquee, which was accompanied by plenty of useful advice from the grower. Hopefully it will do well in a sunny free-draining spot I have in my new garden. I got at lot of attention as I walked back to our tent with it, I don't think I've had so many admiring glances in a long while. If you're ever at a flower show and want to get attract attention, forget waving a coloured umbrella and choose a large Dierama instead. 
Kompong Som - Otres Beach - some 9 km east of town is the last beach of the approximately 9+ km long stretch of beach. Once a beach I considered the worlds most beautiful beach.
When I first experienced this very beach in 1973/74 there was a real high jungle growing down to the very beach. Huge trees. Evening around sunset hours, i.e. 6 PM, a loud concert of Millions of wildlife, birds, etc started. The sand was much more white at that time and the beach some 30+ meters wide. Now after all the monetization of tropical wood / logging the jungle is gone, the beach is gone, nature is gone, all beauty is gone. A beautiful beach God created during thousands of years has been destroyed by mankind in a matter of a few years greedy sellout of nature for profit, to finance government, to finance military, to finance greedy businessmen and politicians.
