Would have loved to have seen this garden for real, but your photos and description made it almost as if I was there.<br /><br />I absolutely love Japanese gardens and I would love to have one myself – well, if my garden was 10 times bigger I could have one part of it Japanese and my roses and everything else in the other half. But then I would need a gardener to take care of it all….so perhaps I should be just happy with what I got and keep on with my mishmash of plants and planting style :-)<br />But if I did have a Japanese garden I think I would let everything bloom for as long as it wanted!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-1590841942981101402015-07-04T04:58:31.867-07:002015-07-04T04:58:31.867-07:00Fantastic trip to Portland.

I wrote recently about cutting down lupins in Arundel Castle Gardens in England (not pinching flowers, but cutting down the whole plant while it's still in FULL bloom) to promote new growth and repeated bloom. The Head Gardener told us that people around don't like that, but that way plants are blooming even in October.<br />Thank you for the tour!<br />Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-53557558001574324372015-06-27T15:45:08.619-07:002015-06-27T15:45:08.619-07:00I have been to Portland several times but visiting...I have been to Portland several times but visiting this garden was always pushed aside for some other activity; there is so much to do! Next time, I will make this a priority. I agree that this Japanese garden instills a sense of peace. However, I think that to remove the azalea blooms before their time is going too far; I suspect that some azaleas are still blooming in Japan, and that is as authentic as it gets!debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-60542321142376592772015-06-26T21:07:28.495-07:002015-06-26T21:07:28.495-07:00Adorei passear com você nesse lindo jardim, Christ...Adorei passear com você nesse lindo jardim, Christina!<br /><br />Os jardins japoneses são muito harmônicos, nos convidam a contemplação, transmitindo paz e espiritualidade<br /><br />É simplesmente maravilhoso contemplar suas belas fotos!<br /><br />beijinhos, tenha um final de semana bem bonito!<br /><br />Lígia e =^.^=Lilasesazuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321178013609795425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-76202617519137657992015-06-26T18:11:09.389-07:002015-06-26T18:11:09.389-07:00What a treat Christina!

I hope to get there myself someday. Funny about the Azalea pruning, though - I'd have thought that the garden's overseers would allow nature to dictate its own schedule (especially as the general warming trend is likely to continue to fiddle with bloom times).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-26551952181157362202015-06-25T10:05:33.090-07:002015-06-25T10:05:33.090-07:00Me encanta, y me gustaría conocerlo.
