GPOD on the Road: Radjagaluh, Indonesia

A tropical vacation

Today ’s picture are from Bas Suharto and were taken on a trip to Indonesia . ( For photos of Bas ’s beautiful front garden , determine outParterre Garden in Ottawa )

I stayed a few days at a pilla ( villa ) in the settlement called Radjagaluh , located in West Java , Indonesia . It was the showery season inDecember , and the temperature was between 23 ° to 33 ° C ( between 73 ° and 91 ° F ) .

This photograph of Mount Ciremai was taken after the harvest prison term . The rice field has been issue , and some zinnias(Zinniaelegans , Zones 10–11 or as an annual ) are still blooming .

The garden around the Pancho Villa where we quell hadtropical plantssuch as these ruby gingerroot plants(Alpinia purpurata , Zones 10–11 ) . Theground coveris wide - foliage grass—”Rumput Gajah Mini , ” which translated literally is mini elephant grass(Axonopus compresus , Zones 10–11 ) .

Mini elephant grass also hem in the outdoorseating expanse .

All the huts in the villa are surrounded by verdure such as jaundiced stickbambooplants , tall lacyferns , palm tree Tree , or tropical trees .

This covered bench is used as a traditional day bed and is surrounded by lacy fern Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , tallcalatheaplants , and rows of bamboos . The ground blanket is the mini elephant grass . At the back are rows of marvellous yellow-bellied bamboo plants serve asprivacyscreens .

The “ long screen ” of tall yellow bamboo works at another part of the garden is framed with tripping unripened ararea plants(Osmoxylon lineare , Zones 10–11 ) and grouping of redCordylineplants in the humiliated part .

I bang the vista of shed blood heart vine(Clerodendrumthomsoniae)among the lower branches of the tree and Chinese fan palm , which I saw on the way going down a Sir Henry Wood staircase from my room .

I had this view of the rice paddy field from my room ’s balcony . The sky was cloudy and rained soon after .

On the left over side is a rice paddy field that has been engraft with young rice plants ; on the veracious side , the farmers garner the Timothy Miles Bindon Rice plants from the rice seedbed nursery to be set in the brown mud area of the field of view .
