Beauty and enchantment in the garden

 

 

Garnish Island garden

Garnish Island garden, Ireland

 

A captivating array of gardens of the conceptual, classical, abstract, contemporary, wild, natrural and sculptured designs. When the pink carnellia’s start to bloom on my balcony and the magnolia and jasmine begin to bud, I know that spring is imminient and will soon make another grand entrance. The life affirming visuals and fragrances of renewal, revival  and growth will be warmly embraced this year.

In Japan the camellia flower is known as ‘Tsubaki’ (early Spring) and symbolizes the divine, probably because of its exquisite lotus appearance. It is often used in religious and sacred ceremonies and is known as the ‘rose of winter’.
