Lovely pix Helen of lovely gardens.

I just checked my Passport, it was 1980 that I last visited Bali! Much has changed. I spent four weeks with a friend based in Legian who took me up to Ubud on to Singaraja, west to Gilimanuk, home to Legian then an eastern adventure up to Mount Agung. I will never forget the traditional gardens. The simple, most elegant places in the most humble of homes. Everywhere a lush beauty of plants and people. Each home we visited had a "sacred garden", something special, "a tame jungle" perhaps?... ... ... :)

The commercial use of such simple cultural and natural elements can be transcribed into something "authentic" or otherwise...Kitsch when given a heavy Western hand in the design!

Please send links here to your future articles Helen. We are looking forward to your piece on Brugmansia.
