Internationale Gartenschau "Floriade" in Niederlande🍃🌾🌿🌿

Allan Gardens Conservatory is a major landmark and tourist attraction in downtown Toronto. Its historic, cast-iron and glass domed "Palm House" was built in 1910 and is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. A botanical gem in the heart of the city, Allan Gardens has a permanent collection of exotic plants and beautiful seasonal flower shows.

A red ginger in all its blooming glory.

Pura Besakih lies at the foot of Mt. Agung, an active volcano on the island of Bali. As the center of Bali's Hindi religion, this holy of holies has remained here for centuries despite numerous volcanic eruptions, all of which have spared the huge temple complex that honors Hindu gods.

The flower of the edible passionfruit, Passiflora edulis.

For me passionfruit flowers are just as exotic as orchids.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for visiting! I am very grateful for and appreciative of the kind comments and faves which have been left.

Macro Monday - Sweet or Savoury

I seldom eat chips, but these are pretty good. It is a blend of yuca, sweet potato, parsnip, taro, and batata.

These chips are made with real vegetables, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMOr. 0mg of cholesterol and 0g of trans fat and no artificial flavors or artificial preservatives.

I know, too good to be true :)

Never work with animals or children, they said... but they didnt have Azizi. From a very young age, he knows to pose when I have my camera. He gives me several seconds rather than nano seconds (the typical behaviours of my other Lesser Tenrecs!!). But I guess it means that of my 6 Tenrecs, I bring him out to photograph the most!!

This image made it as my choice of acrylic for my bathroom. Hope you like it. Tomorrow I will talk about how they really prefer to bathe!! (no water came into contact with my beautiful boy).
