The smooth transition<br />in the interaction of the chosen vegetation, reaching the natural effect with implicit aesthetics.<br /><br />If the dead trees passed away from the canopy down, root rot could have<br />been the culprit. But the age factor has to be considered, a matter of life cycle.<br /><br />Refreshing post, keep it unkempt, please.antigonum cajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227233232030093487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466932086604675022.post-23377591084947958412011-01-06T11:38:29.270+10:002011-01-06T11:38:29.270+10:00It is a beautiful garden, i call ours as "bio...It is a beautiful garden, i call ours as "biodiversity garden". Unkempt garden connotes a bit of negative tone, but actually i think some gardens should really be kept like that, and everything there is happy. I love your growth and the species growing and thriving there, to me that is what beautiful means. BTW, thanks for visiting my post, i hope you come again.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466932086604675022.post-67630386921661335842011-01-06T05:41:54.872+10:002011-01-06T05:41:54.872+10:00Glad to know you are unaffected by the flood....Glad to know you are unaffected by the flood....Hort Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732036923234582077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466932086604675022.post-13830098330006782132011-01-06T00:29:37.297+10:002011-01-06T00:29:37.297+10:00Unkempt is good, particularly when you have the sp...Unkempt is good, particularly when you have the space.

Hopefully you are not suffering from the rain like my daughter in Queensland or bushfires like some southern states . You asked about the "oliebollen"if we have ice-wine. No, that's too cold, we drink coffee or tea, and Glüwein (hotwine) or champagne when the clock strikes twelve. We also have apple turnovers. Only I didn't had them this year, for I wanted to introduce the "oliebollen" to my four Polish guests. BTW yesterday I was visited by two Greek bloggers with their husbands and children. They are lovely people and I had the feeling that I had known them for a long time! I'll post an entry about this visit on Thursday!Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466932086604675022.post-54412568291975034782011-01-03T19:05:29.576+10:002011-01-03T19:05:29.576+10:00Piękne lato u Ciebie, piękne kwiaty, pozdrawiam se...Piękne lato u Ciebie, piękne kwiaty, pozdrawiam serdecznie :)Talibrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868992508215878242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466932086604675022.post-85863246015956297562011-01-03T18:08:39.367+10:002011-01-03T18:08:39.367+10:00What a wonderfully free garden, I can just imagine...What a wonderfully free garden, I can just imagine that it romps and plays when no one is looking.

It's wonderful to see white fringe flower tree also.
