Flowers and Foliage now in Denmark
« on: May 29, 2007, 07:49:56 PM »
A few picture from my garden. Arisaema consanguineum GG 90292 (Gusman 68 ) I made it from seeds for few years ago.
Paeonia Yellow Crown one of my best Itho hybrids.

Paeonia mlokosewitschii x vendella I got from an old lady last year. She told me it comes from Sweden. I can’t find any information about it. I know P. mlokosewitschii, but not vandella. Is there anyone who knows something about it?

 C. macranthos var. hotei-atsumorianum

Karl,

What a delightful garden, a great sense of a space being transformed to create a very special atmosphere and an excellent setting for the wonderful plants you have used.

I have attempted, and continue to, create an area similar to yours, a canopy of trees with an underplanting of shrubs and a ground-level planting of those nice and precious woodland treasures - a woodland of garden proportions, I suppose. With this experience, I can truly appreciate how well you have succeeded.

It has been a pleasure to view your garden and plants. And that paeonia, P. mlokosewitschii X vendella, is very beautiful indeed, the red colouring on the petals particularly so.

Many thanks, Paddy

Well done, you do have a truly amazing garden, something for me to aspire to.
I like the paths and the structure that you have and the plants are amazing too.

Karl, you have had a very busy day in such heat. I expect that your visitors had a marvelous time, in spite of the high temperatures!
