Foxtail Palms added

The central courtyard has a new look with eight saplings of Foxtail Palm, Wodyetia bifurcata, being added to it. We were a bunch of happy onlookers this morning watching the men planting the trees.
Some week ago, our friend, Danny, brought his friend with a knowledge of landscaping to the Home. They had talked about doing something to the garden. Together they donated the money to purchase and plant the trees.
Having the trees made quite a bit of difference to the feel of the place. The trees were choosen for its foxtail-like feather shape leaves which, not only look decorative, but help break up the direct and intensed heating of the courtyard while not blocking out the sunlight. The planted palms lend a softer feel to their surrounding and added some sense of happiness and well being. I said it because I feel it. Thanks, Danny and Jin Hong:)
