Some kind of crops were regulated by the government or the international agreement. They mostly were rare or less remain cultivars. When we buy some plants, asking for the regulation and how we follow them.
Plants mostly are beautiful. But it depends upon how we decorate them. Therefore, there are the garden management career which are popular in the cities.
Not only beauty to look at, we must be careful, don't touch them if you are not certain about chemicals. Some are dangerous. I ignore any chemicals at home eventhough, we used chlorinated hydrocarbon for termite protection when my house had been built. Now, no more chemical at home, even mosquito sprays are also declined.
Chemical fertilizer is different. it saves. But we have to use it in the right way. Organic matter must be rich in soil and chemical fertilizer will work effectively.
Bearing in mind that optimum use of fertilizer can be done by soil and leaf analysis. Or, apply it to plants little by little.
Water spraying is a part of plant care. Optimum water leads to healthy growth and flowering. Plants absorb water by root tip. Therefore applying water to soil is the right way
Plant is the symbol of beauty, love, and life. Everyone love plants. Some plants offer odours, good or bad. Some plants are recognized as herbal medicine
Plants are nature. All lives are also nature. Why man must acquire being in or with nature
When human pre-history evolution, we were part of the jungle and spent lives there. Nowaday, we still have distinction with nature being, men grow plants around them. Besides, plants is the agent of breeze, moisture and carbon gas reduction
Man is born, grow up, become adult and die. In this life cycle, man has feeling, hearing, seeing, chewing, smelling and thinking
Plant is a life but can not move and feel as man do. It grows up by metabolism of some elements, respiration and transpiration. The same threats as happen to a man are diseases and pests.
When plant dies, it is just cleaned away. Some plants live much longer than man. They usually are big plants. It may be a fact to say that, plant which creates beautiful flowers may not live long. Like human?
Moreover, Thai people believe that there are some god spirits in some plants. They pay respect for them. Some people worship plants for bringing luck and safety. Some people make a wish for the lottery number.
On the highways or the country roads, we are able to see plants with some flower laces and joss sticks. These are the images of Thai belief in spirits.
When we went to attend the funerals at the temples, in the air conditioning room, I was able to smell flower odours. These smell impressed me. When I got these smell any where, I would think of the funeral ceremony. I never want to deal with it and don't want to smell it. It was a sad event.
We walked through the ornamental crop display tents, stop for taking pictures. I was a new learning photographer. DSLR camera was completely different from my old compact one. I was not used to operating it.
At the flower open market, I met two professors who taught me in the university between 1964-1968, long time ago. They looked healthy and were in active brain in technology. I paid respect to them but was too shy to admit that my technical knowledge have been sent back to the professors I learnt from. My brain recently has been deteriorated. Don't tell anyone.
But I met an other junior friend, he was working for the radio broadcasting and public relation. I was happy he was still recognized and talked to me. I asked him if I could take some picture here. He said yes. And these, they are the pictures taken there, from a beginner.
That day was a nice Sunday morning. It was cool. The place was not too crowded. There were many colourful flowers and graceful performance plants. Only bad view in my idea was they were expensive. There was no free gift.
About half an hour afternoon, I hurried back home. We had other programme in the late afternoon
Stopped to buy lunch on the way home, I drove and waited for my wife to do the job. She bought a hot vegetarian for me. Hot again but delicious.
About 3.00pm, we left home again with my wife, sister, grand nephew, driving by Nong Bim, my son. We went to visit a housing project near Suwanapoom Airport. And then, my wife suggested us to go to the sea for sight seeing. That was Bangpoo.
Bangpoo at sunset.
Lots of birds flying for food. I thought that these birds came from the North to get away from winter and then getting back when the winter ends.
Nong Bim took us to the new place called Bangsan II but I told him if we wanted to see the Army Bangpoo Air Baths Place to bring back memory. I came here since I was a little boy. The place might have been built before I was born.
When I was a child and then grew up to be the young man, this building and bridge were made of wood. I came here for resting and drinking There were few rooms for rent spending the night here
People still enjoyed coming here. It was crowded on Sunday. It was not far from Bangkok. I came here a few month before and showed some pictures in this blog if you turn back to look at them.
We had dinner here and ordered sea food. Price was not too high because it was operated by the army. I think I will come here again for a change.
