[ITALY.LIGURIA 29000] Pond in the Hanbury Botanical Gardens. On the side of the pond - not in the water - grow the large, kidney-shaped leaves of Farfugium japonicum 'Giganteum'. In 1867, the German landscape architect Ludwig Winter came to the Riviera and met the Englishman Thomas Hanbury, who had become rich with imports of tea and silk from India and China. He absolutely loved Capo Mortola, had acquired the ruin of the 16th century palazzo on the cape and gradually managed to get his hands on the 18 hectares of agricultural land around it. Winter was allowed to transform it into a series of gardens, where Thomas, together with his brother Daniel, pharmacologist and botanist, started acclimatizing exotic plants, including medicinal varieties. The gardens soon gained fame and are the origin of the current Giardini Botanici Hanbury. Photo Mick Palarczyk.

It's been almost a year since visiting Japan. Spurred on by the countless sakura blossom photographs posted by many on Instagram, I thought it time to re-visit my own. It also helps that I was about to do a clean out of my folders (I've just recently purchased a Macbook and thus have begun the slow

It was a must-see for us as we had plenty of time to spare before our flight home.
Solen bager skånselsløst ned over bedene, som om vi befandt os langt mod syd. Uheldigt med den stærke sol og høje temperaturer, når vi ikke har fået mere regn før varmenbølgen kom. Klokken er omkring 11.00 her, og det er allerede ulideligt at være ude i solen. Luna skal i hvert fald ikke nyde noget!! : Udover at have parasollen slået op, har jeg hængt et badeforhæng op fra Terrassens tag, for at give skygge og mere behagelig temperatur. Under parasollen er det lige til at holde ud at være, hvis man slår den op før fliserne er varmet op af solen: Pladsen bruger vi stort set kun når der er hedebølge, så her er mange selvsåede planter mellem fliserne, hvilket jeg holder meget af. Dette er udsigten fra pladsen under parasollen Roserne er ved at være færdig med blomstringen for denne gang, og afløst af kæmpe verbena, violfrøstjerne og solhat. Røllikerne er dog stadig i fuld flor, det er utrolig så længe de blomstrer. Middelhavs prydløg er nye hos mig, og jeg er dybt betaget af dem. De har en vidunderlig farve og bierne er lige så glade for dem som jeg: Nogle få roser blomstrer stadig, her er det en hel buket af Leonardo da Vinci. Jeg håber I nyder sommervarmen, selvom det næsten kun er på stranden man kan holde ud at være når det er så varmt som nu. Men om aftenen er det rigtig dejligt! :-)

This past week, I traveled to New Jersey for a family wedding. Many adventures ensued, but one that was indeed memorable was my trip alongside my sister, Mary, to the New Jersey Botanical Garden at Skylands Manor. The garden, located in Ridgewood, New Jersey, is free and open to the public. It is a treasure to be savored, so leave plenty of time for your visit! The Tudor Mansion was breathtaking. We didn't go inside, but tours are available on the weekends. It was built in the late 1800s and was privately owned until 1957 when the home and

Did you know the Barbican Centre is home to the second biggest botanical garden conservatory in London? Unbelievable, right? Concealed among the brutalist complex lies a dreamlike urban jungle with more than 2000 species of tropical plants. Often overshadowed by the impressive botanical collections at Kew Gardens, many tourists and Londoners are oblivious to the hidden oasis that grows within the heart of the city. See more of Barbican Conservatory in my post here.
