I noticed it was your 999th post, now you have made it hard for yourself if 1000 is to be something special.
Hi Gerard, Thanks for taking notice. I didn't :) My 1000th post was very ... unspecial (I posted some pics for Toowoomba Japanese garden)

If I was there you wouldn't be able to budge me. Makes our gardens and all the years we put into our plants look insignificant. I look out of my window and look at my garden and think " God Loretta, you're kidding yourself" :lol: :lol: Thank you for posting Kvan.
cheers Loretta
Loretta, you know what, we love our gardens more no matter how insignificant as at the end of the day, it's our gardens :) I think these wisterias have been ground-grown in the garden for years in the natural way - well almost natural. This is a good example that sometimes trees nutured by humans can reach their fullest potential that they may never be able to achieved otherwised. These wisterias are watered, pruned and fertilized regularly. They even have metal frames to support the branching of trees.

Hi Steven. I love photography but didn't take these myself. These are from the Ashikaga Flower Park in Japan. My uncle and his wife got the opportunity to visit it a couple years back. I would love to visit it sometime in the future too.
Cheers,
DK
