I'm at a loss for words to comment...I can only giggle. 😂😁🤣 Irene's thought balloons are hilarious! Thank you for the laughs, Irene!
Thank you Irene and Ms Kamminga for the tour of your beautiful and interesting garden. I really liked that Ms Kamminga is so relaxed and open minded and how she perceives shapes and forms in nature. How she described the petals of the pink heliconia as levels of arousal in an analogy…and your pink fireworks as an analogy to the female orgasm. I loved it, not usually even alluded to on a gardening show. Ms Kamminga is a modern woman, yet she is part of a tradition stretching way back to ancient times in South East Asia including Indonesia,Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan and India 4,000 BC. I majored in South East Asian Pre History and Achaeology and thought thought you and your viewers might be interested in the following.
Re the linga (mortar and pestle) conversation in the tea shop at 25 min Ms Kamminga mentioned the linga (pestle) but did not mention in detail the yoni (mortar) …Yoni (IAST: yoni; sometimes also IAST: yonī), sometimes called pindika, is an abstract or aniconic representation of the Hindu goddess Shakti. It is usually shown with linga - its masculine counterpart. Together, they symbolize the merging of microcosmos and macrocosmos,the divine eternal process of creation and regeneration, and the union of the feminine and the masculine that recreates all of existence. The yoni is conceptualized as nature's gateway of all births, particularly in the esoteric Kaula and Tantra practices, as well as the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions of Hinduism.
History and archaeology
Lingam-yoni at the Cát Tiên sanctuary, Lâm Đồng province, Vietnam
The reverence for yoni, state Jones and Ryan, is probably pre-Vedic. Figurines recovered from Zhob valley and dated to the 4th millennium BCE show pronounced breasts and yoni, and these may have been fertility symbols used in prehistoric times that ultimately evolved into later spiritual symbols.According to David Lemming, the yoni worship tradition dates to the pre-Vedic period, over the 4000 BCE to 1000 BCE period.
The yoni has served as a divine symbol from ancient times, and it may well be the oldest spiritual icon not only in India but across many ancient cultures. Some in the orthodox Western cultures, states the Indologist Laura Amazzone, have treated the feminine sexual organs and sexuality in general as a taboo subject, but in Indic religions and other ancient cultures the yoni has long been accepted as profound cosmological and philosophical truth, of the feminine potential and power, one mysteriously interconnected with the natural periodic cycles of moon, earth and existence.
Ms Kamminga has made an interesting tea house and garden to visit exploring erotic art, creation, the seasons.
In India there are these fascinating and unabashed temples where love is artistic, spiritual, graphic, and likely educational. These temples with erotic art are eminent because of the recognition from UNESCO and the Archaeological Survey of India. There are several other temples in India that have graphic and explicit representations of sexuality . Researchers believe that this imagery was influenced by tantric beliefs prevalent in ancient India, while others defend that these depictions were believed to lead people to spirituality. Theories aside, these temples are of historical significance and continue to draw millions of spectators irrespective of their ideologies.
Here are the 7 temples in India famous for their erotic sculptures:
Khajuraho Temples, Madhya Pradesh. The group of 25 temples at Khajuraho are about a thousand years old. It is believed that the temple construction took 300 to 400 years. The temples are dedicated to popular Hindu gods, Shiva, Vishnu, and Ganesha, and there are a few Jain temples as well. Men and women are depicted in the sculptures on the temple walls with beautiful features and curvy bodies and engaged in seduction and pleasure and placing polyandry, polygamy, bisexuality and homosexuality all at the same pedestal. UNESCO has recognized this as a world heritage site.
Sun Temple, Konark, Orissa
Virupaksha Temple, Hampi, Karnataka-UNESCO has declared the group of Hampi temples as a World Heritage Site.
Jain Temples, Ranakpur, Rajasthan
Sun Temple, Modhera, Gujarat
Sathyamurthi Perumal Temple, Tamil Nadu-Dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, the Satyamurthy Temple is built in the Dravidian style construction, with a gigantic fort enclosing the temple. The chief idol is 7 feet tall, and it is situated inside a cave shrine. Daily rituals are observed at the temple. Protected and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, the temple sanctifies acts of copulation in surprising detail.
Lingaraj Temple, Bhubaneshwar, Orissa
Orientalist literature
The colonial era Orientalists and Christian missionaries, raised in the Victorian mold where sex and sexual imagery were a taboo subject, were shocked by and were hostile to the yoni iconography and reverence they witnessed.The 19th and early 20th-century colonial and missionary literature described yoni, lingam-yoni, and related theology as obscene, corrupt, licentious, hyper-sexualized, puerile, impure, demonic and a culture that had become too feminine and dissolute. To the Hindus, particularly the Shaivites, these icons and ideas were the abstract, a symbol of the entirety of creation and spirituality. The colonial disparagement in part triggered the opposite reaction from Bengali nationalists, who more explicitly valorised the feminine. Vivekananda called for the revival of the Mother Goddess as a feminine force, inviting his countrymen to "proclaim her to all the world with the voice of peace and benediction".
According to Wendy Doniger, the terms lingam and yoni became explicitly associated with human sexual organs in the western imagination after the widely popular first Kama Sutra translation by Sir Richard Burton in 1883. In his translation, even though the original Sanskrit text does not use the words lingam or yoni for sexual organs, Burton adroitly sidestepped being viewed as obscene to the Victorian mindset by using them throughout in place of words such as penis, vulva, and vagina to discuss sex, sexual relationships and human sexual positions. This conscious and incorrect word substitution, states Doniger, thus served as an Orientalist means to "anthropologize sex, distance it, make it safe for English readers by assuring them, or pretending to assure them, that the text was not about real sexual organs, their sexual organs, but merely about the appendages of weird, dark people far away."Similar Orientalist literature of the Christian missionaries and the British era, states Doniger, stripped all spiritual meanings and insisted on the Victorian vulgar interpretation only, which had "a negative effect on the self-perception that Hindus had of their own bodies" and they became "ashamed of the more sensual aspects of their own religious literature". Some contemporary Hindus, states Doniger, in their passion to spiritualize Hinduism and for their Hindutva campaign have sought to sanitize the historic earthly sexual meanings, and insist on the abstract spiritual meaning only.
WOW...I am totally blown away!! Thank you for this very extensive tutorial! You need to visit this place and I'm sure you'd have plenty fun there - especially if you can also spot Ms Katai's husband - he is actually Johan Kamminga, also archeologist and had so much to talk on this topic too!
Such an interesting and umm, unusual garden! Was good fun and had a bit of a giggle too! Thanks Irene.
All of nature wants to propagate their genes ... what an extraordinary and tasteful way of connecting the beauty of nature with it's ultimate goal.
So happy that you appreciate this garden too! Was worried few could be turned off!

Miss K, Thank you for sharing your garden. Irene, the side eye @ 2:35 as you said "Yeah, I don't have conversations like this with Mom and Dad." had us burst out laughing. You're so funny and fun! 👏👏

This fun and suggestive garden is definatly for the mature crowd but I love it!
Wow… this is definitely a fun garden to visit
I love this garden. I was giggling throughout the whole video and at times saying, "Irene stop playing with the plants!"😂😂😂😂
Can't keep my hands off them....hahahah....unfortunately also this mean landing in the hospital😬. I later learnt that their pollens are POTENT!!
@@leafing.aroundUgh! That sucks! I take it that you're doing much better now.🤞
What symptoms did you have that landed you in the hospital, and were you able to identify the specific erotic plant that did it?🤔
See, this is why I choose the single life and stay away from such things... it'll get you in trouble every time...🤦🤷🙄 hahaha 😂😂😂😂
But seriously, I've been an avid botanical gardener since 1996, and I found your channel during my search for tropical garden ideas when I moved to Florida, US 3 years ago. Your channel is truly amazing and inspiring. Thank you very much for sharing your garden as well as the others you feature. One of these days I'll be able to show off my garden too. 🌴🌻😊
Love it ! いいね！
Such a fun place. It reminds me of when I used to work in the gardens at the Norman Lindsay Gallery hear in Australia.
a very unique episode and educational at the same time such a wild imagination
crabs in the exotic garden,... 🤣
Danger,rudal to go to heaven brooh😛😁
A Malaysian watching from Canada just giggling away 😅 I loved this!
very fun tour. loved the Mucuna bennettii on the arbor at the beginning. we were able to grow this when i lived in florida. we also had the turquoise strongylodon jade vine as well as the dark purple and red. i visited thailand several years ago and had an absolutely amazing time and brought back way way to many souvenirs.
Oooh your turquoise one...does it flower much? I am so enchanted with it!
@@leafing.around only for a short time each summer. the dark purple one flowered all summer long and looked like grapes growing.

Irene, hello from India and a big shout out for doing this video. She is right about the linga. We not only worship the linga, people are named after it and quite a few mythological tales attached to it.
Helllo 🇮🇳 India!!🥰 thank you for tuning in😊
@@leafing.around have been following you since some days and saw a lot of your older videos too. I like your jungle aesthetic 🥰
Bro this is beautiful 🤣🤣
thumbs up for the cannabis plant
You got crabs in your lawn! 😅
You and your guest were fun! Is this going to be heaven? 😂
Is it what you'd like heaven to be?😄
😂
@@samanthaschiano3799 you guys 😍👌
@@leafing.around😂😂
I have always teased my friends in the spring when the pollen is flowing, that the plants are cuming all over us.
🤭🤭🤭
Irene.... This was totally a different experience.... It was everything in the title plus funny, somethings were philosophical with deep meaning.... Also you were very daring i must say with your comments 🤪The lady has great imagination... Thank you for this!
Yes...there were many moments where I don't really know what to say😆 I was a little apprehensive could alienate some viewers but it was way too fun not to share this quirky place with the world! Thanks for appreciating!🐵
Watching from Phillipines ❤❤❤ wish could see u in person,but that impossible anyway....
Haha..Wow..Thank you..🙊..🌱
Waiting for your next video Irene..
Can I know how often needed to trim the "bush"??? *If you know what I mean? LOL HAHAHA
Well...now that you out the idea in my head!
Cool
In Greek mythology, Orchis was the son of a nymph and a satyr.
During the festivities in honor of Bacchus, he committed sacrilege,
attempting to rape an iria. His punishment was to be devoured by wild beasts
and transformed into a lean and modest plant.
Theophrastus was the first of the ancient writers to mention orchids.
It was he who gave them the name Orchis scientifically, prompted by the myth of Orchis
and reflecting the similarity of their dicotyledonous root to the male genital organs, which
were the cause of the adventure of old Orchis.
The ancient Greeks believed they could control the sex of their unborn children by eating orchid tubers.
If the father ate large young tubers the child would be male, if the mother ate small tubers
the child would be born female.
Excited 🎉
😄😄 I hope I delivered!!
@@leafing.around Irene I am still glowing 😊😊 so sensual
Suddenly, I feel like gardening. Thanks to Robin for leading me here.
Yay, and the earth will thank you for it! @robinwong thanks for converting one!
Love from India😊
The garden is so WILD 😜
Oh Irene! The last one with u holding a banana was the most amusing. You need to eat a lot of bananas to keep u healthy but please don't be addicted to it. Too much of something is bad. 😉
Haha...yes, I discovered now something called electrolyte drinks I can get my minerals from 😁
❤❤
The only garden NOT made for kids... 😂 LOL
actually I thought this garden will be the perfect place to introduce the birds and the bees!😄
@@leafing.around she should have placed their reproductive system then🤣🤣🤣
She 😂😂😂😂😂😂Invented symbol of beginning of life
I need this garden in my life
Do they have cacti plants, Nepenthes holdenii or other phallic plants?
So imaginative, creative & innovative. Hilariously entertaining with Irene’s comments
I loved this film! A great location and a very interesting theme throughout too! This garden packs a lot of interesting factors into it ranging from the erotic, to mindfulness and aesthetics as well. What I found particularly fascinating was the good use of sculpture as focal points at different points in the garden. A very good and well produced film. Many thanks Irene 👏🌿🌴😊
Thanks Paul for your encouraging words! I was a little worried at first few appreciate this...but for the few that do, this is worth it! :)

Omg... My head!!!! My ovaries was explode.. Lol
Well...this is the hottest comment ever🤣🤣🤣
I will never view my garden the same again.
dulu desainer garden ini keknya bercita² disodok mbah sugiono kek nya..😂
Ms Katai holds some very deep wisdom. I wanna be like her when i grow up!
I love that it is not only about the erotic symbolism but also beautiful landscaping and imagination.
You make me laugh by trying to match boy and girl flowers.
