The Mandaluyong City Hall Gardens.....
for the longest time, ever since i started exercising at the Mandluyong City Hall rotunda, i've seen the transformation of the immediate surroundings of the old and new City Hall buildings into one continuous garden. when planning and contruction of the meatshop started in late april 2007, i stopped going to the rotunda for my daily exercise.
so you can just imagine my surprise and my delight when i returned last week and experienced the gardens for the first time!!!
all in all, i'm glad i've rediscovered this oasis of beauty, life, and health in the urban jungle that is Mandaluyong City!!!

every available vacant space between the old and new buildings of the city hall was converted into foot paths, beutifully landscaped corners, manicured lawns, a raised pavilion, several smaller gazebos, garden trellis, comfort rooms, etc.
in one corner of the gardens, there's even an enclosed butterfly garden that you can enter and spend some time in.
all in all, i'm glad i've rediscovered this oasis of beauty, life, and health in the urban jungle that is Mandaluyong City!!!

nice garden! but going back to lotuses and water lilies, i still dont know the differences either. i have a couple more photos which from what i remember were labeled lotuses, so i didnt include them in the posting. but as you said, some of the ones i have posted must be lostuses. when i looked at the NYBotanical garden website, the gallery is labeled "water lilies and lotuses" (LOL). ill post the lotuses (or what i thought are lostuses) later, paki-korek mo nga ako pls. PS. pwede ka na ba - feature sa where are they now? sana me website ang meatshop nyo, o meron na?
one difference i found out from my research is that " all lotuses are water lilies but not all water lilies are lotuses". another is that "the leaves of lotuses grow beyong the surface of the water while the leaves of water lilies stay on the water surface only".
regarding our class feature, paki wait naman ng konti until we've established our meatshop's website and until after we've had the grand opening of the meatshop. thanks!
what a beautiful garden! I remember going to a nice one in Washington D.C...but I think yours is even a lot nicer!
