Today’s photos are of Boss Suharto and were taken on a visit to Indonesia. (For photos of Bass’ beautiful front garden, see Partier Gardens in Ottawa)
I stayed for a few days in a pala (villa) in a village called Radjagala in West Java, Indonesia. December was the rainy season, and temperatures ranged from 23° to 33°C (between 73° and 91°F).
This photo of Mount Serimai was taken after harvest time. A rice field has been cut down, and some zinnias (Zenia eleganszones 10-11 or as annuals) are still blooming.
The garden around the villa where we stayed had tropical plants like these red ginger plants (Alpinia purporta, zones 10-11). The ground cover is broad-leaved grass – “Rumput Gajah Mini”, which literally translates to mini elephant grass (Axonopus compressuszones 10-11).
Mini elephant grass also surrounds the outdoor seating area.
All the villa huts are surrounded by greenery such as yellow cane bamboo plants, tall ferns, palm trees, or tropical trees.
This covered bench is used as a traditional daybed and is surrounded by lacy fern trees, tall calathea plants and rows of bamboo. The ground cover is mini elephant grass. At the back are rows of tall yellow bamboo plants acting as a privacy screen.
In another part of the garden, a “tall screen” of tall yellow bamboo plants is framed by pale green aria plants. (Osmoxylon linearezones 10-11) and red groups Cordyline Plant in the bottom.
I love the sight of a bleeding heart. (Clerodendrum Thomsoniae) Between the low branches of a tree and a Chinese fan palm, which I saw on the way down the wooden stairs from my room.
I saw this view of the rice field from my room balcony. The sky was cloudy and after some time it rained.
On the left is a rice field with young rice plants planted. On the right, farmers are collecting rice plants from the rice seed nursery to be planted in the brown soil area of the field.
