I sat here and zoned out, and built in my head a circular room with brugs standards planted close together and blooms brushing visitors heads. The overhead limbs form a dome and are tied together by some magic tieing method I havent invented yet. The walls are woven from morning glory, and cypress vine. And whats inside this fantasy room you ask? A reflecting pool with gold fish:),---and then I imagined a snake on accident so I had to snap back to the here and now.
Anyone ever toyed with creative ways to display brugs?????????
ahhh to day dream
Sounds really pretty but keep that snake out of there! :)
I always picture Monika's garden............. to me hers is perfect. It is perfectly manicured also.
Me too Kell - I've been meaning to ask how she plants the annuals around the base of the trees. Like a perfect collar.
And then I go outside and look at mine Liz......... oh the horror of it! LOL
have any of you ever toyed with ways to dispay brugs other then jsut putting them in a pot? The idea of of them reflectiong off of water seems neat--(but Im sure I am not the first to darydream that idea) They are so dramatic, and I keep wondering what they look best with? I have wondered if you could tie them while they are still young and limber onto the frame of an arbor?
I see no reason for not trying that idea Plays!! The only problem would be the wind rubbing the canes against the arbor material and making scabs on them. I think this is one thing that gardeners are good about. Always trying something new. At least with brugs, you can have enough extras that if something doesn't work, you still have more to play with.
I wanna play along, but with a different picture. The Brug garden is oblong rectangular. A pergola running from one end to the other girdled alternating with climbing roses and morning glories and Brugs in between. Beneath pansies, lavender gypsilia and other low garden plants. On each side of the pergola small square gardens marked by low hedges. Some with roses, some with other themes with a Brug in the center of each.
Could also be fun to build a labyrinth as in Standley and Laurel, but without the ghost *lol*
Sigh ~ never in a million years will my garden look this good.
LOL Liz.......we have all seen your garden and it is just gorgeous also............
I sure like your dream. I will try to remember it while I am laid up and wanting to be out with my brugs.
I just love the red watering cans.......adds charm don't you think? And to think Monika hand waters lots of hers.
Could a "Geodesic Dome" style greenhouse be possible?
...Just dreaming, of course.. farizona
