I'd been busy working in the garden at MABA during Spring and Summer, no time for posting! I'm a volunteer gardener at this Buddhist temple in the past 3 years. We have very good vegetable garden to supply fresh veggies for residents at MABA. If you are in the St. Louis, Missouri area, please come to visit us (see address at MABA website). I'll back to Vietnam next month to spent Winter there. BTW, I added hundreds more pictures of many different flowers in the Flower database, if you want to identify your unkown flowers, please visit this page

I'd added many pictures from Vietnam recently, please visit this page to see the beautiful Vietnam: Vietnamese scenery. If you are a Buddhist, you should visit the page a bout Vietnamese pagoda.
I also added many pictures from America, including Sequoia park in California, Florida, San Diego. All these pictures from America can be seen at the America page.

A trip to Cambodia.
We took a tour bus to travel to Cambodia from Saigon on the New Year of 2009. The tour took us to Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and some other Angkor temples. On the third day of the trip, we continued to Phnom Penh where we visited the Royal Palace of Cambodia. The trip is relatively cheap and very interesting, we highly recommend this trip to people who like to discover ancient Angkor empire.

Lunar new year (Tet) is a the biggest holiday in Vietnam, especially to the flower/plant loving people! Flowering plants are everywhere in the markets, public parks, hotels... I took many pictures of flowers during Tet in Saigon, Hanoi, Vietnam and put them on my website recently. Please visit them and enjoy the beauty of spring flowers in Vietnam.

I'd just uploaded pictures of the Fairchild Tropical Garden in Miami, Florida. Last week, we took a 4-day bus trip to visit one of the Wonder of the world, the Angkor Wat, in Siem Reap, Cambodia. We started from Saigon, went to Siem Reap, then to Phnom Penh, then back to Saigon. There are many ancient temple complex in Siem Reap and all of them are magnificients. If you travel to the Southeast Asia, you must visit these unbelievable temple ruins which were built more than thousand years ago by the Khmer empire. I'll post all pictures about Cambodia trip in the near future.

I'm working on the improvement of the flower database on my website. You will find your favorite flower easier with some information in this new flower ID page. There are so many flowers in this database, therefore, it may take months to finish it. Please come back. In the meantime, please visit other pages, especially my other site FreeBeautifulPictures.com for many beautiful large size pictures of flowers and natural sceneries.

The Montreal Botanical Garden.
We went to Montreal, Quebec, Canada last month and visited many places including the Montreal Botanical Garden. This garden is big and contains many different theme gardens. The Chinese and Japanese gardens are beautiful even in October with no flower blooming. The views of the Fall in the garden are stunning. There was displayed of the Chinese lanterns at the Chinese garden, very interesting and beautiful.
