My Garden in Spring 2015 vol.2

"Blue Angel", clematis, is blooming in my garden. This is the last clematis bloomed among my clematis collection. I've been wanting to see it flowering...

As the sprinkling can is getting older and rusted, I decided to use it as a flower container.

Bored some holes at the bottom with a drill, planted Cape Clover and Ivy:)

From our living room, we can enjoy roses and clematis.

Beautiful season has come:)

Happy New Year!

 

 

 

Wishing you a Happy New Year 2013 !

 

 

 

 

This  is my most favorite container in 2012.

 

 

The bulbs with blue flowers are "Puschkinia"

 

 

Look forward to seeing the bloom in a few months again:)

 

 

 

 

 

Flowers in a Small Drawer

I planted white little mum in a small drawer.

 

 

 

Added this silver leaf.

 

 

Its shape is  very cute, isn't it?

 

 

But I forgot its name..hahaha...

 

 

 

Unfortunately, this wooden drawer is rotting...

 

I'm not sure how long it'll endure in this fall rainy season. 

Green Ice Rose

 

 

 

Of course, I know that you should not let roses bloom in such an extremely hot season.

 

 

But I can't stand...

 

Green Ice Rose

 

 

It's very tough and has many flowers in such scorching hot days.

 

And the flower changes its color from pink to white to green:)

 

 

 

 

I planted it with wireplants and ivy in the antique colander two years ago.

 

 

 

I like the contrast of the rose and variegated ivy leaves.

 

 

By the way, this cat lives with my friend, called "Tama-chan"

 

 

 

 

 

He always makes me smile :)

 

 

 

 

Who drew the lines?

I love little flowers...

 

Gypsophila repens ‘Rosea’

Puschkinia 

Who drew the lines in such tiny petals?

  

They show their unusual expressions as seen through a macro lens.

Can you see the tiny blue stamens?

No matter how close I approach them, they can't be  seen with the naked eye.

How lovely...

  

 

I love those clovers...

like someone painted the red in each leaf.

Wishing you all a  wonderful new season.

Canned Puschkinia

 A flower I've been waiting for has finally bloomed.

  

 Can you recognize its name?

It's like a hyacinth but not...

  

It's Puschkinia :)

 

They're only about 3 inches high! 

These tiny little flowers always fascinate me...

As a matter of fact, the pink ones are dried erica which I cut really short:)

I planted them in a painted can. 

 Finally winter has gone and spring seems to be  here.

Have a nice weekend:)

Canned Snowdrop

When I would trash this rusty can the other day,  I came up with some idea.

Painted the corrosion-resistant primer...

 and overpainted ivory.

Got dressed up with hemp strings...

Do you notice that these ornaments at the tip of strings are made of a seashell?

 I planted some bulbs and put a tiny little house which my friend made.

 

 

The bulbs I planted are  my most favorite flower, of course:)

 Snowdrops!

How about a tiny spring container garden? :)

Can't wait for spring...
