Oh how beautiful! I love those gardens, but we had a bad experience there last year with the Train Show (they oversold tickets) but I want to go back.
WOW! WOW!!
so lovely...
Chrysanthemums are my favourites and those in my poets are budding :)
kiku..the Japanese have funny names :)
Nice picture, my bird!

I guess this is flower bonsai - how beautiful! I've never seen them grown this way before and now I must try this as I love doing bonsai..
Amy--Sorry about the Train Show--I never did go myself (but I did get a tiny peek this year since they were setting it up on the last day of the Kiku show) Try and catch next year's Kiku show!
Devika--Too bad your "poets" are not budding--I was trying to imagine that...
Janice--Yes, it is similar to Bonsai, they train the young plants on wire supports, and keep pinching them back to get the shape. They have one specialist there who spent a year studying the techniques in Japan, now this is her full-time job!
Imagine Firebird, who is stopping you? :)
if that brings out good poetry, i'll definitely enjoy :)

Rich Colours! They appear to have been grown in a particular fashion!
Rakesh--yes, they use traditional Japanese techniques, by which they get these amazing forms!
Thanks for the comment...
