It only takes a minute to sign up or visit more on AtoZers on the Linky.
My theme this year is Burma AKA Myanmar. I used to live in Laos, so this was a return to Southeast Asia that I looked forward to. I spent a little over three weeks exploring this country, learning a bit about its culture: its history, religion, and language. I thought others might enjoy some of what I learned and see some of what I saw.

Besides the Botanical Garden, they have amazing Floating Gardens with all kinds of fresh produce.

Gorgeous photos! Those flowers look fabulous.
Those look like beautiful gardens 🙂

Stunning photos!

Wow, the photos are really beautiful. I was lucky enough to visit an orchid garden in Bali. They are such gorgeous flowers, and they come in so many varieties we'd otherwise never get to see.
I love the orchid pictures. Probably my second favorite flower. JEN Garrett
Looks stunning, such bright colours.
I am loving the tropical look of the flowers. Gorgeous!
How beautiful. We have the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens here…I've never been. I feel bad about that now!
Absolutely Stunning Gardens!!
Beautiful flowers! And I really love the floating garden. How cool.
I like walking through botanical gardens. There's a really cool Japanese garden close by that's open to the public.
Incredible gardens! I can't wait for everything to start blooming. Hope is here…the daffodils have bloomed. Yippee!
Wow! Beautiful photos. I'm in awe of the floating gardens, as well. I'm going to keep those in mind for a story, at some point. 🙂 Thanks for sharing and inspiring, C. Lee!
Gorgeous photos. It would be lovely to just spend the day there.

Keeping my record of not getting both right, I'm going to say true for both today.
I've never seen tomatoes floating as they are grown. That is so cool, and the orchids!! Wow, thanks for sharing… Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
I'm not the only one posting about gardens today, and I can see why. There's so many of them and they're absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for your visits here today. We're on G, guys!
Floating gardens? Pretty neat. I wouldn't be surprised if the gardens are controlled by the government…
These flowers are so beautiful and they must smell divine. The colours and lushness of it all. So I will again say True to both questions…let's see how I do(hahahaaa)
Another pretty set of gardens for G. If I could grow flowers like those maybe my garden wouldn't be full of weeds.

Hi Lee – the botanical gardens must be amazing as too the water gardens …
I imagine (1) is not true, and the 2nd is true ..
Fascinating to know they're nurturing their flora .. cheers Hilary

So pretty!
Those flowers are spectacular. In the high desert, our native flowers are so teeny. Untethered Realms / MPax
So many photo opportunities!
Beautiful.
What lovely gardens. Thank you for brightening up my gray and stormy day. 🙂
Awesome pictures, Mother Nature is a wonderful thing,
Having moved six weeks ago where there was a garden where all sorts of birds and squirrels used to come…….I fed them of course. I do miss my garden and all the creatures. Thanks for a wonderful post.

The gorgeous side of Burma! I love flowers. They're just so perfect. No artist could make anything so wonderful as nature.
I adore gardens! That tomato patch is neat.
Oh my goodness, these are beautiful. The colors are so stunning and the green is so lush. Gorgeous.

WOW! Look at all of those cool gardens. I love the floating idea and those flowers are gorgeous!
Oh I love all the flowers! I've only been to Malaysia, but this is on my list.
I would love to visit those lush gardens! Floating gardens sounds like the perfect garden!
I think some orchids are the most beautiful flowers on earth and others are ugly as sin 🙂 You have some lovely pictures there. You're the second person to do gardens today – lovely topic.
