Babies, new blooms, new buds, and young shoots have something in common. They invariably are gorgeous looking, fresh and shining..... The smell is sweet.....
Who doesn't like the look and smell of babies?
Bilbo, the gardening ambassador
I just read about Bilbo whereabouts. Gittan picked Putrajaya as the next peace mission for this Honorable Gardening Ambassador. I had given ample warning to Gittan about our hot and wet weather. I wont allow him to walk around naked. I warned about snails and slugs too.... Once, Gittan has contacted me through email, I will pass the full address. Both of us [bangchik and kakdah] will be waiting for his arrival!!!... and he can leave behind sweaters, jackets and scarfs. We will buy tropical dress, with color of his own choice...... ..... So Bilbo On the Move again!

I love seeing bilbo! What a great project.
ReplyDeleteWell thats an exciting visitor for you to look forward to lucky bilbo going to a warm climate while we all freeze here in the snow.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so glad Bilbo is visiting you!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Bilbo will think about your beautiful weather? He will be in heaven :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely shoots. I might have to visit the greenhouse to get my green fix this week. I'm sure Bilbo will enjoy your warm climate and greenery, at the very least he can get rid of his scarf.

What fun!! I wondered where he was. Love the tender new growth on your plants.
ReplyDeleteI think Bilbo will be ready for some warm weather after all the snow. Can't wait to see his visit there!
ReplyDeleteThe great shoots shots make this chilly Ozark gal long for warmer climates. I am so jealous of our little world traveler, Bilbo!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great day filled with beautiful blessings!!!
New shoots signifies new beginnings. With Bilbo's arrival to your home, it is indeed double happiness for you. Bilbo is such a lovable guy, how I wish I can have him too.
ReplyDeletelovely, Bangchik, i actually planning to plant some basil, chili padi and mint at my balcony...something to start off with for one who does not hav dat ,uch place but loves gardening :)
ReplyDeletecheers!
p.s: thx for dropping by my site!
Love to see new shoots from plants myself. And I am sure Bilbo will enjoy your garden later. Happy gardening Bangchik!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Bilbo. How fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I’m just waiting for spring and new hoots form my trees...
ReplyDeleteHI, I am delighted to read Bilbo is going to visit you as I know yu have followed his progress regularly. Dirt Princess extended his leave of absence so now he can get to visit lots of far flung places and we can enjoy reading his exploits. I will be back to read up on him.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that Bilbo will be visiting! Your pictures are lovely...I am longing for spring and new growth, but that's weeks away, unfortunately. So I will visit your garden to see green and growing things until then!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to pop over and thank your for visiting my blog with your sweet comment. You enjoy that little Bilbo and I'll look forward to pictures of him enjoying his fun in the sun!
ReplyDeleteYou have just a great day filled with sweet blessings!!!
Terrific...Starting the New Year with New shoots. Its cold here in N.India... and we are still a month or two away from spring, however we will get to see a riot of colours with the seasonal s blooming shortly. :)

ReplyDeleteHello, its really night here around 10.00pm. Some of you are lagging behind and some far ahead. So time really divides us, just like sea and mountains. But Blotanical comes in to connect everyone and our gardens too!!
Bilbo is a symbol of such connection, hopping around the globe to spread the words around; about gardening, plants, blooms, soils, about people and culture.
I can assure you, we will converse in our own language, "Bahasa Malaysia". Being diplomatic, Bilbo may just smile...... So that's a little bit about our gardening diplomat!
At times, I am being too romantic about gardening, plants, veggies and pests. Thats what I really feel about gardening. So, it is a pleasure to see new shoots emerging as much as the exitement surrounding orchid's colourful bloom.
Being too objective with gardening could be a hindrance to keep going and continue with it. Otherwise we would come up with list of inputs and outputs, profit and loss. We may then become too culculative that in the end, this little garden may just end up as lawn and nothing else.
Hobby, exitement and pleasure are a little bit subjective. I would rather leave gardening as such rather than being very mean, mechanical, and methodical.
New shoots, a snail, red bugs, falling leaves, ugly barks, beautiful flowers, ripening fruits etc, etc, are contributing factors in making gardening continuously exiting and worth looking for.
Oh well, some may not agree......
Just wonder if Gittan has bought new suitcase for Bilbo to put things in......

What gorgeous photos. I see green tree frogs every night outside and thought of taking some photos - something about them says "take my photo"! The ugly cane toads won't be getting their pics taken though!
ReplyDeleteLEAH..., thanks for the drop and comments. Some are born to be models... but I am not to sure of your ugly cane toads.. haha... ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that you finally get to host the famous Bilbo! Make sure that you feed him well! Looking forward to your posts! Matron xx
