Riot of colors from bougainvillae and golden shower

Rizal Philippines
April 21, 2019

This summer there is a riot of colors from flowers, mostly from bougainvillae which blooms on hot summer days.  It is said that crisis or difficulty in water, drought triggers most plants to bloom. Crisis stimulate plants to struggle to survive and this includes perpetuation of the species.

Belenismo Contest at Tarlac by Tarlac Heritage Foundation

Rizal Philippines

December 25, 2018

This was featured in Cooltura at Channel 13 and it showed  San Manuel as the winner.  This could  be the equivalent of Festival Lights at Japan or US.  We could benchmark this  if our towns or business sites, parks wishes to outshine or make them special:   a head turner, a memorable place.  A place where our eyes can feast.

So this serves notice to our Cabalens in Pampanga that they are not the only ones who are good in creating Christmas displays or Japan or US.  Yes Tarlac can

Belenismo at Tarlac Pics


We can benchmark some of these and serve as inspiration for 2019 in our  festival of lights

What not to do in landscaping?

This is an example in a famous memorial park;  what not to do.  What to avoid:

                              No wall/curtain plants

                            Grass cutting not collected

                                 Chocolate hills near gravesite

                              Mud and dirt on the street
