  • The Lotus Pond, Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, New South Wales, Australia ..Asia, from Iran to Japan, and south to northeren Australia. Long grown for culinary use as the leaf stalks, rootstock and seeds are edible, the dried sead heads are also used in floral art. ..The Lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world and is revered in the East where it is a symbol of (among other things)  fertility, nobility, holiness and purity. Due to its display of all stages of growth simultaneously: bud, flower and seedpod - the lotus is also a symbol of the past, present and future or the individuals progress from the lowest to the highest state of consciousness. Lotus flowers are an oddity in the plant world as they can generate their own heat. they are able to maintain a temperature of 30°C though the surrounding temperature may be much lower.

  • The flowering stems are pendulous. The bright pink color of the flower bracts is rare among heliconias, making it very easy to identify. The conspicuous pink part of the large and showy hanging inflorescences is actually the waxy bracts, (modified leaves), with the small green true flowers half-hidden inside. It is pollinated by hermit hummingbirds, whose curved beaks are well adapted to probe the curved flowers for nectar, their main food source. Some species such as the Rufous-breasted Hermitalso use the plant for nesting.

  • This house was built in 1984 by father of the last owner, Mr. Thao Phang Khay (born in 1972), of De Cho Chua A village, Pung Luong commune, Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai province. This was the home of a family of four. Hmong houses are built of wood, directly on the ground. For the flower Hmong of Mu Cang Chai, the wood must be that of the po mu tree (visible growing behind this house). House-building is men's work. Only axes and knives are used as tools, and all of the pieces are lashed together. This house was reconstructed at the museum in six days in 1999, by a group of seven Hmong villagers.

  • The tower was likely to have been raised according to a statute of the Parliament of Scotland in 1535, that required large landholders in the Borderlands to build barmkins of stone and lime, sixty square feet in area and with walls of one ell thickness and six ells in height for the resett and defense of him, his tennents, and his gudis in troublous tyme.  It lies approximately equidistant between the burghs of Moffat and Selkirk, and defended the north eastern end of St Mary's Loch. The site itself was protected on two sides, to the east by the Dryhope Burn and to the west by the Kirkstead Burn. The castle belonged to the Scotts of Dryhope, and a daughter of the House , Mary Scott was known as the "Flower of Yarrow" and was also an ancestor of Sir Walter Scott. Mary was given in marriage toWat Scott of Kirkhope, a notorious Border Reiver. The property passed to Wat Scott's family, the Scotts of Harden, and Scott took possession of Dryhope following his marriage. However, in 1592, Wat Scott fell out of favour with King James VI due to his association with Francis Stewart, 1st Earl of Bothwell. King James levied an army and proceeded through the forest and slighted many houses of his opponents. Wat Scott did not get off lightly and Dryhope was amongst Scott of Harden's fortalices that were slighted. The tower seems to have been rebuilt by 1613. The castle fell into terminal decay in the latter part of the 17th century and was acquired by the senior branch of the Scotts, the Dukes of Buccleuch. Dryhope Tower today belongs to the Philiphaugh Estate, and has recently been undergoing stabilisation work. The tower once had a courtyard with ancillary buildings all enclosed by a curtain wall.

  • This house was built in 1984 by father of the last owner, Mr. Thao Phang Khay (born in 1972), of De Cho Chua A village, Pung Luong commune, Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai province. This was the home of a family of four. Hmong houses are built of wood, directly on the ground. For the flower Hmong of Mu Cang Chai, the wood must be that of the po mu tree (visible growing behind this house). House-building is men's work. Only axes and knives are used as tools, and all of the pieces are lashed together. This house was reconstructed at the museum in six days in 1999, by a group of seven Hmong villagers.

  • The tower was likely to have been raised according to a statute of the Parliament of Scotland in 1535, that required large landholders in the Borderlands to build barmkins of stone and lime, sixty square feet in area and with walls of one ell thickness and six ells in height for the resett and defense of him, his tennents, and his gudis in troublous tyme.  It lies approximately equidistant between the burghs of Moffat and Selkirk, and defended the north eastern end of St Mary's Loch. The site itself was protected on two sides, to the east by the Dryhope Burn and to the west by the Kirkstead Burn. The castle belonged to the Scotts of Dryhope, and a daughter of the House , Mary Scott was known as the "Flower of Yarrow" and was also an ancestor of Sir Walter Scott. Mary was given in marriage toWat Scott of Kirkhope, a notorious Border Reiver. The property passed to Wat Scott's family, the Scotts of Harden, and Scott took possession of Dryhope following his marriage. However, in 1592, Wat Scott fell out of favour with King James VI due to his association with Francis Stewart, 1st Earl of Bothwell. King James levied an army and proceeded through the forest and slighted many houses of his opponents. Wat Scott did not get off lightly and Dryhope was amongst Scott of Harden's fortalices that were slighted. The tower seems to have been rebuilt by 1613. The castle fell into terminal decay in the latter part of the 17th century and was acquired by the senior branch of the Scotts, the Dukes of Buccleuch. Dryhope Tower today belongs to the Philiphaugh Estate, and has recently been undergoing stabilisation work. The tower once had a courtyard with ancillary buildings all enclosed by a curtain wall.

  • Danum Valley Conservation Area is a 438 square kilometres tract of relatively undisturbed lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysia. The area holds unique status in the sense that before it became a conservation area there were no human settlements within the area, meaning that hunting, logging and other human interference was non existent making the area almost unique

  • The most identifiable landmark in the village of Painswick is the parish church of St. Mary's dating to the early Norman period. The churchyard's clipped yew trees are another feature of the town...Evidence suggests that the church was built between 1042 and 1066. Looking closely at the tower, you'll see the scars of cannonballs left by a bombardment during the Civil War. Parliamentary troops took refuge in the church, but they were forced out by a combination of cannon fire and burning torches wielded by Royalist soldiers...Passing through the half-timbered lych-gate -- a roofed entry to the churchyard -- is the graveyard, the final resting place of rich wool merchants and the yew trees that draw the most attention. The church is also open for tour...There are two legends surrounding the yews. One legend says that the trees are uncountable, the other, that there are 99 trees, and if a hundredth was to be planted, the devil would pull it out...Every year, on the nearest Sunday to September 19, the "clipping the church" takes place. Local children wear flowers in their hair, join hands and embrace the church.
