Overflowing with colour


On 19 September 2015, I went to an Open House at the home of our main leader for both birding and botany. This was to mark the end of the botany season, which is always sad. We went on one last walk, around the neighbourhood, stopping to look at various plants in people's front gardens, and then went back for tea and coffee and yummy snacks. This beautiful display of flowers in a huge, glazed Chinese jar, was near someone's front steps.
This jar looks like a modern version of the old Chinese egg jars, used for holding a number of 100-year-old eggs. They are originally called "Pi Tang Kong" and the majority are from China, though a few may be from Taiwan.
""Pi Tang" are Chinese preserved eggs. These eggs are rolled in a combination of rice husks and clay and then, preserved. "Kong" means container thus the name literally translates into "Container of Preserved Eggs"."
