Liu Fang Yuan 流芳園, or the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the finest classical-style Chinese gardens outside of China. Filled with Chinese plants and framed by exquisite architecture, the landscape is enriched with references to literature and art. Visitors can find both physical relaxation and mental stimulation when exploring the dramatic 15-acre garden.

“Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower. Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty.” – Suzy Kassem

Worker-foraging bees collect nectar by sucking droplets with their proboscis (a straw like tongue). The nectar on its own provides immediate energy in the form of carbohydrate sugars. Worker bees jobs include housekeeping, feeding the queen, drones and larvae, collecting the pollen and nectar, and making the wax.

 

As humans, one thing that we can learn about life from honey bees is teamwork, as they are natural teamplayers. If one bee is suffering or falling behind, the others step up and do the work, making sure that collective productivity is never reduced.

Just like the Lotus flower which starts to grow in the dirty and muddy water but manages to surpass the water and produce a perfect flower.

RHS Wisley - Jun 2019

These are more images from RHS Wisley in June 2019. It has a great selection of plants and shrubs inside the garden complete with Glass house, lake and long borders. There is a magnificent arrangement of colour and diversity. A garden well worth visiting particularly when there is a Flower Show on view.

 

I enjoyed the water gardens this morning at Sarah Duke Gardens and of course the rest of this beautiful place.

Have a great week my friends.
