Eyeful of Tulips

Mid rainy season offers the most beautiful lush green nature colors of fresh growing tropical vegetation. The soft hills in the lower part of the island are covered with a variety of palms and fruit trees along with lots of wild vegetation. The high island mountains are covered with dense beautiful jungle. Mindoro still has lots of life and vegetation to be discovered. Most of the island is difficult to access which leaves majority or the island untouched virgin nature!

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.
