Something to Reflect On
March 9, 2015"What we're trying for is not perfection, but improvement." Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami


With weather moving to spring many flowers have begun to bloom at the aadheenam

some are right in front of you when your looking towards the mountain

one of the world\
s smaller orchid species grows right on the drinking fountain'

And this one is just overhead

this one too

and to your left

one of our koi enjoys the warming sunshine

This is a Butterfly tree. A very rare tree in cultivation, this is the newest, most exciting tree to be introduced in the last decade. It said to be one of the most beautiful flowering trees in Central America.

It has long narrow leaves and large flowers 6-8\" across that smell like apricots.

a very fragrant rose


the spider lilies are back in force



The African Tulips seem to bloom constantly












The Blue Jade Vine is blooming again

it truly is stunning

This egret is looking for lunch, perhaps a lizard on the the warm stone?

after finding one he takes a drink from the temple tank
