- We travel to Java to meet architect and nursery grower Karen Tambayong. Subscribe 🔔 ab.co/GA-subscribe
Karen has always loved nature and as a keen mountain walker, she sees many plants that she would love to grow in her garden, to create the same ambience.
She designed her own garden to make it a treat not only for the eyes but also for the soul.
Her nursery is in West Java in the base of Pangrango and Mount Gede mountains.
At 1200m above sea level, the climate is cool despite being in the tropics.
Her father was also a grower and Karen took over the garden from him, and she started growing tropical plants that weren’t being widely grown.
She says flowers are her passion and when she sees a beautiful flower, she has to learn how to grow it.
Her training in architecture taught her about structure and colour combinations, and she has also studied floral design. For 20 years she did the floral decorations for the presidential palace; her forte is using native Indonesian flowers and foliage.
Her garden is a refuge for her and her family and friends.
Featured plants:
Pink kopsia (Kopsia fruticosa )
Soft vanda (Vanda tricolor)
Showy melastome (Medinilla eximia syn. M. speciosa)
Filmed in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia

Beautiful my dear friend
Eden indeed. Glorious treeferns, begonias, medinillia, gingers, orchids, the list goes on.
What a beautiful garden that’s home to important native Indonesian plants. Karen Tambayong’s father who started Floribunda was Reane Tambayong, a Marine retiree.
Superb! So many great species.
Beautiful.
I am looking forward… 😄
It's going to be special!
Gorgeous Ibu ! It reminded me of of where I lived for most of the 90s, Jakarta to Sukabumi. I had my own specialty produce farm on Gunung Salak long before CZcams!
this is siiiiick what an absolute oasis
It’s such a paradise! Thanks for watching 🌱
Delightful
It sure is! Thanks for watching 🌱
But some of the plants aren't even from indonesia though. I'm not a botanist but using plant net the striped white and red flower looks like barbados lily (2:32), native to brazil. Kopsia fruticosa, isn't native to Java, however Kopsia arborea does, but all google images depicts them as white, not pink. The flower with five petals and red specks (0:42) looks like rothmania longiflora, native to west and central africa. Rose generally didn't exist the malesia region, and the closest rose I could find from south east asia is rosa clynophilla that ranges from the himalayas to mainland south east asia. So the rose at 1:05 come from somewhere else.
what is the botanical name of the climber on the arbor?
What is the flower at 21 seconds?
I think it's a pitcher plant of some sort
Aristolochia sp.
