Hi,

I took photos of almost all trees on display... I am missing 2 or 3: no space to take photos.

Some are bad quality I am sorry about that.

There is still a set of demo photos... I will prepare them a little later.

Thank you and regards.

Number 13 -- Ficus Religiosa, Bồ Đề in Vietnamese. This tree was an import from Vietnam. It has a religious significant, history has it that, an Indian prince Siddhārtha Gautama, who had so many wives, one day returning home from an outings, his ladies were competing for his attention ( so that he will bed her )... He sort of could not take it, so he wandered out... then kept on wandering... finally tired, the prince sat under a big ficus religiosa and meditated... and kept on doing so till Buddhism philosophy was born... then spread to South East Asian and elsewhere. These people butchered it and turned it into a religion!

( -- Okay, my regurgitation on the prince might not be accurate on the finer details: I'm not responsible for any misleading )
