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.

WHITE LYCORIS

After the red lycoris, white lycoris is now full-bloomed in our garden as well as in the neighbourhood.

It flowers in September and only after the flowers have withered in a week or two, the narrow strap-like basal leaves appear.
The leaves are beautiful in winter when green leaves become less in the garden, and the leaves themselves deteriorate in late Spring.


White lycoris flowers in a peony bed. Herbaceous peony leaves are becoming to wither.

White lycoris is flowering here and there beside a path where we take a walk every morning.





In winter, its leaves show beautiful shape and green color.  In spring, it gives way to peony leaves.

  1. That plant looks lovely and it's always nice to have the good leaf shape and colour to continue on during the cold winter months.
