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.

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT (月下美人)

 

This year, too, the Queen of the night has bloomed. The buds started to swell in the evening and the petals opened wide in about three hours. It really is a beautiful flower. It is also a very ephemeral flower, as it shrivels up the next morning.


今年も月下美人が咲きました. 夕方に蕾が膨らみ始めて、3時間ほどで大きく花びらが開きました. 本当に美しい花です. 翌朝にはしぼんでしまうので、とてもはかない花でもあります. 







Next morning 翌朝

  1. What a gorgeous flower and so easy to miss if you had not checked that night they opened! Such a shame if you had not looked in time

    1. It really is as you say. I usually keep it in the garden, so if I hadn't noticed it, I wouldn't have seen this beautiful flower!
