Last Monday we received a personally guided tour of the Lae Botanical Gardens. These gardens contain plant specimens from all over PNG.
Oliver was our knowledgeable tour guide. You can see him in the photo as he and Sue are looking at a Lae landmark, an old Australian air force DC-3.He patiently answered our many questions regarding the plants we were enjoying. This country is truly blessed with many wonderful plant species. It must be a botanist's dream!
For all you amateur botanists out there we have included this photo to see if anyone can identify the flower.
Of course the bugs are super-sized here too. Take a look at this millipede sunning himself (herself?) on a stair. We saw at least three this size on our tour.What struck me as I took everything in is the creative nature of our God. He is infinitely resourceful. He just didn't make one kind of tree, or flower, or shrub. No, He made thousands.
Each of us have been made in His image, but in many respects we too enjoy the diversity and creativity of our Master's hand. So today, enjoy yourself, as a unique and wonderfully made man, woman, boy or girl creatively shaped by the Master Artist. Give thanks to Him, for indeed you have been fearfully and wonderfully made.

It all looks beautiful. I would love to get a tour there myself someday.
