We were in the garden gardening all day long today.
Clematis 'Shishinden' and french lavender bear pinkish purple flowers now.

My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

返信削除Your clematis and lavender look beautiful. I think the roses on the arch will soon be flowering too, as I can see some buds. Roses and Clematis make good partners, don't they?
Best wishes

Dear Ellie
削除I agree with you. Collaboration of rose and clematis makes each of them more beautiful.
