Garden Broggers' Bloom Day - October 2013

Hi everyone,

We'd been having hot days, like 30 degrees here in Japan last week. But autumn has surely come to my balcony. How is your garden?

 

Let's take a look at what's flowering in my balcony.

 

 

Madam Figaro
 

Can enjoy autumn roses. 

 

"Blue Sprite", Clematis and "Alister Stella Gray" Noisette rose

 

 

The combination of Clematis and Roses is my favorite scene!

 

 

"Under the Rose"

"Narrow Water"

 

 "Alister Stella Gray"

And today, the scene which I want to show you is bellow.

It maybe a seemingly common shot. You might think it just as a shot of some weeds. But creating such a scene in a balcony, which means on a CONCRETE FLOOR, required enormous efforts.

First of all, I put bricks on a concrete floor and put some Pink-head knotweed pots between them. But they didn't grow at all as I intended to... So, I had to give up growing them last year.

But about six months later, the knotweed has appeard through the bricks! I was so excited!!!

 

       I put large pots at each side of the brick path, and planted Austrarian Rosemary,

       Ivy Vine, Carex, and so on, trying to cover pots with their own leaves.

 

In addition, I decided to put a brick on which  some letters were carved. So I pasted mortar on it and engraved a word, "GARDEN."

 OH MY GOOOD!  Seemed to have made a spelling mistake!

Happy Garden Blogger’s Bloom Day!
