Tropical nature is full of surprises - rain can poor shortly after blue sky. Dark clouds build up on mountainous islands within far less than half an hour. Without water no life, hence rain always is a blessing. Also for nature photography, without rain no lush green nature colors.

Mankind makes mistakes - nature fixes our mistakes. Provided we let nature work freely. Picture shows an ancient Stupa covered by vegetation attempting to cover up mankind's past mistakes. From Koh Ker temple pictures.
Mankind should learn from such healing behavior by nature. We make abundance of mistakes and need to let go and restart from scratch rather than to remain attached at old and wrong cultures and industries.
All the true values of life have survived, all truly useful inventions have evolved and are safely in public domain. All mistakes need to be dropped and surrendered to God and thus also be left to nature's power to dissolve and cover up all to prepare a clean new environment for a better future. A future where we fully integrate all lessons accomplished and learned in the past.

Nice violete flowers
I'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.
While 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.
