A beautiful flowers arrangement made with sea shells and a dab of green paint. This stunning work of art was created by my good friend’s late mother. It shows what is possible when the beauty of nature meets wonderful creative talent.

Thanks for coming to the site.
The RHS Garden Wisley in Surry, England is one of the World’s Great Gardens. In the gardens is a vast glasshouse with three climatic zones. The glasshouse is home to a breath takingly beautiful collection of orchids.
Our good friends in England took us to the gardens last year.
Here are some pictures I took during that inspiring visit.
I don’t know the names of the orchids but perhaps words cannot do justice to their beauty!
Please enjoy the wonder of God’s creation.

Thanks again to our Australian friends for the pictures.

Australia is not only the land of the kookaburra. It also has magnificent scenery. There are also many beautiful flowers.
Today my wife and her Australian friend were chatting about this and that and they got onto the subject of the flowers in her Australian garden. We asked her to send some pictures, which she did with some comments.
Here are some of the pictures with comments.
