Not much should be explained about a garden. Its greatest reality is not reality, for a garden, always hurts in a position to be, its past and its future are sung. A garden, like a library, is made up of different interests and mysteries: in these secrets, green flowers and some herbs have to shape into small trees.
Green flowers are fascinated flowers, magic flowers, garden witches. They give an impression of the light of the reflected sun, a boneard painting. Actually green, these flowers range from the color of emerald to white flowers from moonlight. Other more expected colors mix with flowers. They add a secret formula of wind and life.
Some flowers have always been green: ixia VaridifloraLong, fringe orchids Plateau, FourthDiversity ‘Gum‘Dada -Dadi of all green orchids; And lany Alchemila Major-Ladies-Mental that is well known in England and, I think, not enough appreciated in America. Some flowers suddenly become green: green zinias, for example, appeared unexpectedly among their family of wild, clear colors. A gardener will catch and encourage such seriousness by taking care to protect and separate the seeds. Tulip ‘artists,’ and Nicotiana ‘Lime’ came from such games. Lily, as a result of ‘Green Dragon’ and Green Magic Strain, were carefully, deliberate experience-meats. (In the eighteenth century, Aurikulus was the theme of great collections like Orchids today.)
With the help of our apostle and scholar Mali, Shri Charles Petora and a greenhouse, we have green flowers throughout the year. Neither in the bouquets nor in flowers we use all the green flowers together, as they illuminate, and add subtlety to other colors. He has a secret like true love that wants to hide but betrays his bliss.
A gardener is planning at least eighteen months ago. To keep a garden, take care and expect. Years ago, I had different from ten inches to three feet height, growing in small standards of Rosemary, Thyme, Mertal, and Santolina in the shape of Gulf trees. When we started, as far as I know, they were unique in America, although I have read references of such trees in my old horticulture books.
