Flowers - Neu_lolli9ll0002.jpg
Beautiful nature scenery. A few days ago I was walking up this river on a hot and beautiful day. When thirsty I drank the clear river water ... and am still alive! Can you drink the water of your river outside your home and survive ? This island river is crystal clear year round, even during rainy season as you see now. Limited fish life due to hot water temperature. An invitation to take a bath to refresh your body.
Water of natural clean quality - drinking quality. Hundreds of years ago most European rivers have been clear and clean like this tropical island river. Thanks to our "industrial progress" normal rivers no longer are of drinking quality but rather highly toxic loaded with industrial waste and sewage.
A truly simple life fully integrated into nature rather than imposing ourselves onto nature could revers the destruction of industrial countries. However a high degree of self control and common sense would be needed to stop the ongoing destruction of our entire planet and its most beautiful nature.

Like, flowers

Dense tropical vegetation along the river. The air might look foggy - because just some 50 meters below the waterfalls the air is saturated with evaporated water droplets from the high waterfalls.

Yellow, flower with bu g around...
This year's Tatton soundtrack might have to include: It only happens when it rains, raindrops keep falling on my head, singing in the rain... I could go on, so please let me know if you have any less clichéd suggestions. But, there's no getting away from it, the weather for the build up has been truly appalling. It's been a challenge for the show organisers, garden designers, nursery folk and TV crews alike. High-vis jacket-wearing was extended the full duration of press day yesterday as conditions got muddier.
But against such odds, they have all delivered a fantastic flower show, sunshine bright with colour. And somehow, against the wet, slate-coloured skies, the plants of high summer seem all the more vibrant. From show gardens to nursery stands, the stars of the show are easily gem-like crocosmias in a glorious range of orange shades from tangerine to gold; flat heads of raspberry ripple achilleas are also stand out performers.
But my favourite plant combination today was the gorgeously delicate Agrostis nebulosa with Astrantia 'Roma' - a fuzzy cloud of bronze grass with jewel-like blooms just peeping through, unfazed by the downpours, raindrops glistening prettily as the sun re-emerged.
