I am amazed at the bonsai mums - I wonder how do they do that? Also, I am inspired by your toad lilies. I saw them on another blogger's site, and now yours have convinced me to definitely try them in my own garden, located in Alabama, USA. Also enjoyed your photos of the Japanese parks. Thanks!

Will post more photos of Japanese parks and gardens that I visit henceforth. I have realized that while these are quite common out here, it might be interesting for people overseas to see different kinds of Japanese gardens. Thanks for the nice comments, Kanak.

The mums are beautiful! And the bonsai mums...I've never heard about them. Not mums!! Amazing! And the park photos with the ducks are so beautiful. Loved going through your photos.

The Nippon Bonsai Association holds an exhibition every year - the 84th exhibition is from 9 Feb to 17 Feb., 2010 according to this site: http://www.bonsai-kyokai.or.jp/kokuhuten.htm (in Japanese), and is in Tokyo. I'm planning to visit it. See the gallery of photos of the 83rd exhibition here: http://www.bonsai-kyokai.or.jp/gallary.htm. I'll let you know about any other exhibitions if I come across such information. Hi Sandy, you’re welcome.

I am especially interested in the bonsai exhibition. I wish I could go to some festivals as such when I visit Japan the next time. What are the names of some popular, well-known botanical festivals or bonsai exhibition in Japan? Maybe I can check them out next time when I visit Japan :) Gururaj, thank you for sharing.

They have been displayed for an exhibition at the park and some of them will win prizes! The Sodegaura Park is at its best in spring when the colors of various flowers dazzle you.

I'll be happy to give you some geraniums if you land up at my place. I propagate several cuttings of geranium in spring and give them to friends! Thanks, Simon.
