That little tree growing in Brookline has nothing on Bangkok. Everything grows in Bangkok. In this large dirty cement covered city, plants grow everywhere and in everything. While the average American city dweller struggles with a Boston fern or an African Violet every dirty side walk in Bangkok has a potted plant flourishing. Greenery adorns every window ledge, roof top or crack in the cement. One feels like if the keepers of the cement went on vacation for a day the plants would take over this hot sunny city.
When a Honolulu dweller decides to try growing a lotus they find an old bathtub and decide that a few days of blooming beauty in their front yard will make up for the fact that they have plumbing rubbish littering their yards for the rest of the year. The Thais on the other hand will use a decorative ceramic planter and viola a blooming lotus!
