Bali Garden Taman Bunga Nusantara

This weekend we want to watch Flowers. Flowers? Was a bit uncomfortable, but talking about Flowers is not the feminine consumption only. Netherlands, for example, Tulip Garden (Keukenhoff) is one of the most to do list if you go there, watch by all gender, although they not open in each season, only from April to May.

Well, Indonesia has all year-round Flowers bloom in all season, why we are not included Flowers to the most to do list for tourists? I do not apologize for this nationalism smells statement, it is August you know.

Taman Bunga Nusantara (TBN) is located in Cipanas district, Cianjur, West Java, 6 km east of the Kota Bunga. Reasonably priced ticket only Rp25.000 includes Dotto train. Hoping to see Indonesia’s genuine garden, but all we find is imported names such American garden, French garden, Mediterranean garden and Japanese garden.

American Garden featuring shrubs garden, like a yellow Echinacea, like a cowboy film while you hear Blowing with the wind by Bob Dylan in local radio, French garden with shrubs shaped like a cylinder and roses, Mediterranean garden with a cactus and Japanese walled garden.

Among of all gardens, there is one garden that makes me proud, Balinese garden. Bali is never die, able to compete with other “state” garden although Bali is not a state.  
Bali Garden presents entrance red brick gate, ‘bale Bengong’ (such a traditional hut) with a series of Cambodian tree (Plumeria rubra) on both sides of the path.

Cambodia fat twig crisscrossed pacify.

Unfortunately Cambodia’s Flower has elapsed its blossoming period, but the charm is still remains. Red Heliconia’s flower is matching with wall gate.

Also there is a little river with wooden bridge.

Lotus (Nelumbo Druce Nelumbium) shows off its beauty magenta flower.

Ouch really beautiful, not to mention seasoned symphony of gurgling water and splashing of baby frog legs.
