I'm very fascinated and rather obsessed with The Secret Garden of 1Utama. I was thinking how it would be a suitable place for cold weather plantations such as Apple tree, Pear, Plum and tea. They also grow the plant that i love- Gourds. I saw the gourd vine creeping all over the fence and admired, because at home in my garden only one gourd seed of mine germinated into a young plant out of 10 seeds! I admired the large heavy bottle gourds (Wu Lou in Cantonese) hanging down the vine. What a sight! I took many pictures of flowers and cacti. Everything's just extraordinary in some unexplainable way. I love the plants there. That very garden is the BEST agricultural or horticultural place I've ever been in Malaysia! Thank You Dr. Francis Ng for building it!!
