PalmScapes: Beauty & The Beasts

As I Wander...

Welcome!

Living in tropical Malaysia, we tend to take the hot humid weather, thundery rainstorms and the spectrum of wild evergreen plants as a given.

Recently, I noticed more exotic plants making its way into landscaped home gardens, recreational parks, frontages of shopping malls and

commercial buildings.

Along kerb sides of residential streets and busy motorways, palms, trees and flowering plants make pleasant and interesting fringes.

This is a record of the various species "as I see it" for I am in awe of palms. Hence, my premise for this blog is that the global garden,

i.e. every physical garden (tended or untended), becomes a part of my, simply said, cyber palm garden. ;-)

Please feel free to share your thoughts or comments.

Thank you for visiting!

Beauty & The Beasts

Admittedly, this is a non-palm post - an acute diversion from what I set out to find over the long weekend just past.

Instead, it turned out to be quite an unexpected yet interesting find of the commercial, correction, alien kind! Both acts caught the curious attention of mingling crowds including passers-by like myself, on a busy Saturday noon right smack in the Bukit Bintang 'shop till you drop' district in KL.

Promotions of new products and services were taken to new heights with these extraordinary and extraterrestrial outfits.
