Gardens Around the World Friday -- Three for the price of one

I finished all my Christmas shopping, so I'm in an especially good mood today. And since I did all of my shopping online, I dedicate this blog entry to my tireless UPS and DHL men, who have delivered to my house nearly every day since Thanksgiving -- sometimes stopping by twice.

To celebrate, I'm linking to three distant blogs today instead on the usual one. Enjoy.

Soekershof Walkabout is a 'weird but passionate world in South Africa' described thus:

In times to come this''fully out of control concept' has to grow into an 'Eternal Monument of Growing Creativity' and that includes 'The Maze of the year 4000'. Or as South Africans say: "'n Boer maak een plan" (a farmer makes a plan).

Check out the slide show at the bottom of the page for some breathtaking photos.

Only two flowering plants have been able to survive on Antarctica -- Earth's iciest continent. Read what Julie of the Human Flower Project has to say about them. Fascinating stuff!
