Title: Flowers and Foliage now in Denmark
Post by: kalle-k.dk 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?

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.

Hi Ian

It is nearly 20 years ago, my wife and I begin lay out our garden, but it was first after we were been member of several garden/plants societies in the 90, we really begin make our garden. We lay out rock garden (to alpine plants); woodland garden and we find rare plants in Denmark and also outside Denmark. It was the same time we begin make plants from seeds and we get contact with other plants collectors and begin exchange plants. I have visit England and Scotland three times and you have so many fantastic gardens and nurseries. This have giving me many idea and plants.
