Wow! Didn't know there was so much preliminary study behind those gorgeous gardens... nice pictures! I'm not good with plants, I'd probably kill a cactus if someone entrusted me with one! ;)

Thanks for visiting my blog and hope to see you again!

P.S. You're right! I recall Mana saying in an interview once that they picked that name precisely for the Indonesian meaning (inner power) and not for the biblical reference (apperantly there is one) as most people think.... ;)
