New Vegetable and herb gardens. Since retirement five years ago, I and my wife have been volunteering to work for MABA, a Buddhist temple in Augusta, Missouri (when at home, not traveling!). I grow vegetables for the monk and nuns (they are vegetarians), and take care of the temple's gardens. We also grow vegetables at home, it's fun! I have many pictures of vegetables and herbs that we grow, and also from botanical gardens. Please visit this vegetable and herb gardens. Thanks.

New improved flower ID page.

Check out the new Flower ID page that is easier for you recognize flowers and their common English names. Some new flowers were also added.

Did you see the new Flower calendar page? I'd just added some new flowers in the month of July, especially, the lotus flowers on July 11. If you love lotus flowers you need to see the lotus flower slide show with the Gate chant from MABA on July 8. The summer is almost ended, enjoy the summer flowers in July of this flower calendar.
