  1. Hi Sherry .. I've never been to Asia - one day. China has so many incredible plants and still so much to find out about .. of course our gardens are full of ex Chinese/Asian plants brought back by the hunter gatherers ... fascinating range of gardens here at Wuhan ... cheers Hilary

  2. Hi Sherry,

    I'm glad you have highlighted a garden in China. I've never really thought about that and seeing indigenous Chinese plants is most interesting.

    Have a nice weekend, Sherry.

  3. China is still a mystery. I'd like to see the bamboo garden and Chinese Gooseberry sounds neat.
