Post by: Botanica on September 03, 2012, 07:31:34 PM: Thank's for this post.

It's an extraordinary collection of plants ...for me it's unbelievable ....but true !

What a job ...who many years to create this paradise ?

A real passion of course Why i haven't a member like that around me ???

Most i studies plants species , most i discovered the infinite diversity of the vegetable world.

One life is not enough to discover all of this.

Simply Respect
