Begonia as cover plant

Location: Kambatik Park, Bintulu.

I have found that this species of begonia to be an excellent ground cover. It has a showy silvery metallic light purple leaves and reddish underside. It is evergreen and I have planted it next to my chalet. It requires damp conditions and filtered or moderate light. This begonia is of the rhizomatous species and as such I can easily propagate them by division.

Some begonia species are native to Sarawak, Borneo or Malaysia and are prevalent in other parts of tropical regions of the world e.g. South America.

Hello 2008

At the point of writing, we are just about five hours to midnight and a new year shall then begin.


Being a positive thinker, I can't think but better things for this landscaping story.


For one thing, I really need to get down to the bolts -and- nuts of the Malaysian garden we call 'Laman Kambatik"'


Thus, I will blog more on the philosophy of 'Laman Kambatik", to give the idea a strong fundamental.


Then , I shall travel around the towns of Sarawak to comment on our missed opportunities, little successes or major triumphs , if any.


A good question to pose as a guiding perspective is " How could our LAMAN KAMBATIK help in sustainable culture and the promotion of a healthy, safe and balanced lifestyle?"


I will of course continue with my series of Kambatik favourite species.

In that note, I am really looking forward to 2008.
