When I visit the Botanical Gardens again, I will surely take enough images to create an album. Marita,

Peter, great minds think alike (ahem)! I took my kids to Ipoh/Taiping today and somehow, I was so attracted to the trees along the way. Some look so elegant, some protective, some stout, some fragile. I was telling myself that I must get a better digital camera and take up the hobby of snapping all these rainforest trees, wild and cultured (I mean planted in the gardens). I found some lovely white lotus in Taiping Lake and remember your signature purple one. But yikes, my camera is only 1.3 MP (malu) and it was too dark for photograph. BTW, love reading this Ebony Encounters. You make everything so alive. Awww… Peter, great minds think alike (ahem)!

I grew up among trees in Ayer Itam and during weekends among towering ones in Sungai Pinang in my uncle's plantation. Now that I am living in an apartment, I long to be amongst trees again. By the way, the signature flower here is a water lily. Twinsmom, Thank you. When I think of the Botanical Gardens, I am always reminded of that ebony tree. She is sort of stuck in my mind maybe because I am reminded of the good times of many decades ago. Lilian,

Twinsmom,
