No spring here, But summer's a blooming delight
B Magazine, Published on 21/04/2013
» It's springtime in the higher latitudes, and as the winter snow thaws, plants and trees spring up from their long slumber and bloom in all their glory. I had a chance to feast my eyes on spring flowers in the US when a friend sent me photos of daffodils, roses, lilies and other flowers blooming in his garden. "This one suddenly sprang up in its pot on my front porch," he wrote of a specimen unknown to me, with its tiny flowers growing from the plant's leaves. Without leaving Bangkok, I also enjoyed springtime scenery in Europe through photos sent to me by another friend. Prunus trees and shrubs blanketed by flowers, and rhododendrons, irises, tulips, daisies, daffodils, lavenders and countless other species of plants in bloom in private gardens and public parks, along streets, and on mountainsides and fields, literally took my breath away. Also a sight to behold were vast plains carpeted by wild flowers of different colours _ red, yellow, orange, pink, blue and violet _ which reminded me of a trip to Gstaad and the Eggli Mountains in Switzerland years ago.

A primer on lagerstroemia, All you've ever wanted to know
B Magazine, Normita Thongtham, Published on 28/07/2013
» Trees in the genus Lagerstroemia are a common sight along many of Bangkok's roads, among them Rama IV, Si Ayutthaya, Phetchaburi and Phitsanulok leading to Government House. But although they comprise several species, at first glance they all look so similar that not many people can tell them apart. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the trees are called by different names in different localities, and some people lump them together under one name, generally tabaek, or salao, or inthanin.
