would like to see the full japanese garden ; )

me too!!!

glad you like it guys.
Sticki - anything with the word 'japonica' in plant's name can be translated as 'japanese'
STT and ST - it's just a begining - few oriental style pots, few plants with common name 'japanese' in it or simply few plants with oriental origin.
Need few more accessories to achieve that oriental atmosphere - it takes money ;-(
oh, and got a clematis with proper japanese word in it - but it was supposed to be a late birthday pressie. So it may go one day soon, lol.

Oh happy late birthday kasy!

I shall look forward to seeing that collection, and garden! I didn't know that about 'japonica'

clematis japonica?

Sticki - my birthday is months away;-)
Stevie - that would be too easy - the translation of the name is something like 'Seven Bridges'. Sorry - to lazy to go out into the garden to check the label, lol

seven bridges for seven samurai???

17 May, 2012

 

well..... ekhmmmm.....how to say that...
just checked the label and the name is: 'YATSUHASHI' and it means EIGHT bridges. So we are missing one samurai, lol.

Yatsuhashi (bridge with eight folds) a zigzag path over water
I assume its got 8 petals and a zig zaggy pattern?

18 May, 2012

 

oh i can picture it now ~ bit like the bridge on the willow pattern plates??

or is it like origami with 8 folds??

18 May, 2012

 

oh, I see - the zigzag path over the water to get rid of devil souls? the label doesn't include any pictures. There is one flower bud on it so I guess I just have to wait and see. Unless the owner wants to claim the pressie earlier.
