A Pandanus miracle.


My daughter and I were so thrilled to visit some Pandanus trees we grew from seed and nutured and planted in rehabilitated sand dunes.  They were so healthy and robust and standing completely on their own now.

Pink queen of the Lagoon.


Here she is again..this beautiful lotus flower last Friday.

The South American Tree Grape.


This is a tree I bought many years ago without any knowledge about it.  It has grown so big with huge leaves but though it flowers, there are no fruit.  I would like to find out more about it's history.

The hazy days of Summer.



December days rolling along and the dear sweet lotus do their thing.  The Ylang-ylang is covered in lime green octopusi and the sun heats up the perfume....divine!

We are giving books as gifts as usual, some homemade and some from Amazon and some from Jo's Buderim Books.  They are not extravagant but will be a little message of love and blessing to the ones we miss here.

Looking around the cosmos, there are some bright signs and some very sad circumstances still in existence.  My prayer is that people take more action to help and be aware.
