Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.
― Alfred Austin (1835 – 1913)
This is probably the Nth time I talked about gardens ;-). Felt funny as it is very similar to "show me your friends and I will tell you who you are". BTW, normally "what you are" means the way you present yourself and the things you do; "who you are" is the person underneath all that: your feelings, attitudes and values. Subtle but vast difference, isn't it?
Summer has arrived on our island the past week, with high close to 30C finally. Due to pseudo-Mediterranean climate, summer here can be very very dry, with no rain for many weeks. The lawns are all yellow everywhere, a big contrast to very green ones in the winter. Since it's very tricky to set irrigation systems in our yards, I have to spend more than half of my mornings and evenings in a week to water the garden: using sprinklers in the back and side yards, and hand watering in the front. It would be a tedious task if I don't take the chance to talk to my friends - the trees and plants, the leaves and the flowers.
I say good morning and good evening to them, and I tell them how lucky I am, since half of the plants were not planted, but came by themselves. I don't know how, but somehow when I see plants (eg. foxglove, blue bell, yellow poppy, etc) or a special tree (eg. arbutus tree which is native here but hard to grow by planting) and wish to have some, they come to my garden. ;-)
So here is the important part: Do any of you konw what an alive "money tree（摇钱树）" looks like? Especially the one which produces large denomination bills ($100 or $50 will do)? As I could try to wish for it to come to my garden too.
Although we live simply and don't need any more funds, I would love to give the produce to you guys to lighten up your lives, if I had the money tree. 
Some of my garden photos below (sorry for the quality, again ;-) for you to enjoy this beautiful Sunday.
