The Lijiang Tour is a

must trip for anyone visiting

Guilin. Lijiang is a tributary of

Zhujiang River which originates

in Mountain Cat Xingan Coun-

try in North Guilin. It winds

and meanders its way for 437

kilometers, passing through

Guilin, Yangshuo, Pingle and

Wuzhou. Between Guilin and

Yangshuo, Lijiang River travels

83 kilometers like a jade ribbon

winding among thousands of the hills. Along the river, the landscapes are

especially spectacular with fantastic rock formations and caves, deep pools,

springs and waterfalls. The refl ection of the hills in the clear and greenish

water is like bright, beautiful picture. A hundred miles of the Lijiang River

gives us a hundred mile pictures gallery. Modern and ancient poems and

literary works express an appreciation of her beauty.

This was my fi rst trip on Lijiang River. I was busy taking video and

pictures. Because of limited time, I captured only a small part of Guilin's

scenery. I would like to take my family on our next vacation to beautiful

Guilin. Bob

Trip to Guilin During my last business trip to China, I had a chance to visit Guilin City, a

city with over 2110 years of history and world famous for its beautiful scenery.

Guilin is located in the southwestern part of China. According to geo-

logical surveys, this area was submerged as an ocean 370 million years ago.

Through geologic time, the land was formed and then eroded to sculpture the

beautiful hills, caves and rivers. It is this unique scenery that makes Guilin world

famous.

Fall Items 2004 Everyone here at AAA Imports got through Hur-

ricane Charley with minimal damage to their homes. The

worst suffered by all of us was a few days without power

and a weekend of yard clean up. Others in Orlando and the

surrounding area had a lot damage but here in Apopka we

were very fortunate.

Fall is almost here—can you believe it? The kids

are going back to school and we will be gearing up for the

Holidays to come.

We are featuring some of our fall containers with

larger pictures this month so you can actually see the detail

on them! Many of you may not know that we also carry

seasonal picks. Here are some of what we have in and we

have much more on the way. If you have email, we can

send you any image or just give us a call and we’ll be happy

help you decide what you’d like for this season. Jenny

rFuture Farmers of America AAA Imports is supporting the FFA (Future Farmers of

America) for Lyman High School!

The students of FFA offer membership to the Plant-

of-the-Month club. Members of the club will receive a plant

delivered to their classroom or offi ce. This fundraiser club is

an educational activity in which the students can apply their

horticultural knowledge and help to provide resources for FFA

activities, such as trade shows and state competitions. It also

allows the students to help educate the public on horticulture

matters and the FFA program.

The pictures shown in this month’s newsletter are just

a few of the large variety of plants and containers available for

those participating in the Plant-of-the-Month club. Jenny

onth The Blue-Footed Booby

This month I will be writing about an amusing creature,

the blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii). This bird got its name from

the Spanish who called it “bobo” - meaning stupid fellows. They

are about the size of a goose, fearless, and very clumsy, hence

the name.

The blue-footed boobies live in areas such as the islands

of Galapagos, along the Gulf of California and the western coast-

lines of Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru. The amazing characteristic

about this bird is its large, bright blue feet, which come in handy

for many things. During mating season, the male parades around

a potential mate, raising his big blue feet in slow stepping motions.

He will also fl ash them at her when he fl ies around his territory.

Both males and females use their feet in the raising their

young. Instead of incubating the eggs by sitting on them, the eggs

are constantly kept warm by their parents’ hot feet! As the baby

boobies hatch, the eggs are held on top on mom’s or dad’s feet.

There they will stay warm until they grow feathers and their own

big blue feet can get them around.

Just take a look at this pictures and you’ll see how goofy-

looking these amazing birds really are! Jenny
