Thank you very much Benz, love you! hope you feel better soon.

hiltiki thanks! the plant on the background is my favorite pet plant, it's a plumeria that I adopted when it was a dead stick and now it's pretty and big (at list for a plant on a pot..), so I carved it on the tiki as an homage to the non human family I love, like my dog chufi :)

TheBigT Thanks! I wish I could grow bamboo :) I live in the middle of the city (it's like living in new york for you to imagine), i don't even have soil.. the plants you see are on pots, I try to make the pics look like if it were a jungle, but is all an optical effect :)
I buy the bamboo in a market we have here called 'mercado de frutos de Tigre' it's next to a river, it's a place were you can buy fruits and hand made objects, some art, and stuff, there are a few places that sell bamboo there, at some point i've discovered this kind and loved it. I'm not sure if it comes from that river (Rio de la Plata) or they bring it from the north of Argentina were it is a lot more tropical than here.
