庭の紹介

 夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました. 赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.
 2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

WHITE LILIES

Two kinds of lilies are blooming now in our garden.

The first one is 'ginger lily' (Hedychium).  It is not Liliaceae, but Zingiberaceae.
We planted it beyond a rose arch beside a bench.  It has exotic foliage and fragrant spikes of flowers.  It grows almost 180 cm (70 in) tall.


It has very sweet fragrance and we really love it.





Another lily is blooming here and there in our neighbourhood.  It is Lilium formosanum originally imported from Taiwan about a hundred years ago, and it grows wild now in Japan.
It is slender and looks pure.  It is a messenger of autumn.
