Flowers and shrubbery are only the beginning when planning your perfect backyard oasis. Imagine a perfect warm summer day, the flowers smell great and look beautiful but they just don't have the sweet, juicy treats like a Katy Apricot tree or a buttery goodness of a Hass Avocado tree.
Picking the right fruit tree to add a little flavor to your Southern California backyard has just as much to do with your tastes as with your plan for the year. Certain tropical fruit trees bloom early and fruit quickly (like the Brazilian Banana tree) while others bloom later in the year and ripen more slowly (like the Panche Fig tree).
Stylistically there is also a lot to take into consideration. Many regional tropical fruit tree nurseries now carry different variations of your favorite trees. For example, the Santa Rosa Plum tree is a very popular choice for its rich, juicy taste. But not everyone wants a "tree" looking tree, for those people the "weeping" variety was created. The Weeping Santa Rosa Plum tree gives off a much more whimsical Alice-in-Wonderland-type look. If you're looking for a softer look to your backyard, this might be your best bet.
If you have a smaller backyard you needn't worry about the limitations of space. You have two options when it comes to picking your perfect tree: Semi-dwarf or the newest creation of the gardening industry, "EZ-Pick". Â Â Semi-dwarf trees are a smaller version of the original, they don't grow as big but still produce a decent amount of fruit. This is a good option for a medium-small sized backyard. The Royal Apricot Semi-Dwarf tree is one of the most popular varieties.
The EZ-Pick however, is an even more tightly-compacted option for those concerned with space and with not being able to reach your fruit when a normal-sized tree matures. EZ-Pick was specifically developed with this problem in mind. They are created to grow no higher than 6 feet tall and will still produce a good amount of fruit. This is a relatively new addition to the tropical fruit tree nursery so not everyone will carry them. The EZ-Pick Golden Nectar Plum was a shoe-in for favorite small backyard addition this season.
Some homeowners want to create more than just a tropical oasis in their backyard, they want to create an exotic sanctuary. In that case, trees that bear tropical fruit are one of the best additions you can make to your backyard. Buddha's Hand fruit trees, Star Fruit trees, Wampi trees and other very different trees will give you a definite central conversation piece right in your own backyard.
When you're ready to start transforming your backyard, make sure to call or visit a local tropical fruit tree nursery to get your creative juices flowing.

Rhythem and Buddha
A circle of drums is more than a jam in concert parking lot, it's a fundamental exercise in Buddhism. Anyone who has participated in a drum circle knows that the boundaries of the individual breakdown and a feeling of one emerges. This is because the real truth is that we are all the same being in different disguises.
Buddhism began in the 4th century by a Hindu prince named Gautama Siddhartha. Born a prince, he abandoned his kingdom for a life of meditation and teaching. Not being motivated by fear or desire, Gautama "woke up" to his true nature.
Upon attaining "enlightenment", Gautama instantly recalled all his past lives and was able to explore the complete potential of temporal consciousness. In the course of meeting people, they would ask Gautama not WHO he was, but WHAT he was. He would answer "I am awake!"
I would not call Buddhism a religion, unless you call seeing into one's own true nature a religion. Buddhism is more like a code of ethics.
Our actions should come from compassion and not be motivated by fear or desire.
If you are coming from a good place, chances are you'll end up in one.
How, you may ask, do drum circles compare with Buddhism?
Often religious expeierences are nonverbal. It can be said religions are often used as a shield against the terrors of direct expierence. The drum circle, being non-verbal, affords us an opportunity of being quiet in speech and raging in spirit.
"Words are the pins on which the butterflies of life are stuck to a board" -Chinese wisdom
Another example of how words fall short. If a man never saw a river, it would tell him little if I were to scoop a handful of water and bring it to him. A handful of river is dead in your hand.
So what to do ? Do!
Do what ? Drum!
Why ? Because it's a complete unspoken model of the universe.
Really ? ... Really!
The easiest example is to compare a bang of a drum or bell to the "big bang".
When a Buddhist monk rings a bell, he or she will first notice the silence, ring it, then let it fade and fade until there is silence again.
the big bang, one crash, the sound rings out, wave energy turns into real-time thoughts and energy and then slowly fades out to silence.
Conception, life death and when the priest hits it again, life again. One world exploding for 1 second or 1 millennium, then fading into the backdrop of another.
When a group of people drum, the rhythm changes, revolves, dances and dreams. What you play and how you play it, effects others, goes around the circle and comes back to you.
Karma.
Once you settle in, you fall into an effortless flow of energy and information, in sink with the others and "the other."
So keep drumming and ask not for whom the drum sounds,
it sounds for you.

Should the gourd (a bottle-like structure) be always be on Laughing Buddha's right hand?
Laughing Buddha usually have the gourd in his right hand but some manufacturers specially outside East and South East Asian also make Laughing Buddhas with the gourd in his left hand.
Which is the original - Laughing Buddha in the gourd in his right hand or Laughing Buddha with gourd in his left hand?
That's the mirror image. It does not matter which hand holds the gourd, as long as the Buddha is laughing.
