Above is a shot thru the "bamboo window" of our Ma Chii'. This structure is in our fern & moss garden and I'm sure the spelling isn't correct. This structure is an authentic reproduction of a Japanese resting structure, not a tea house. Scott, a local landscaper and talented carpenter built this as well as most of the fern & moss garden about six years ago. Many visitors enjoy sitting here and are positioned near the small waterfall and meandering stream in that garden. Note the circular window below that is opposite the one above. One side of the structure is open and it is a nice place to contemplate (and duck out of the rain)!
Today was another hot one (90+ F). Larry worked today and should have had volunteer help with watering the plant sale mums and other needy plants. I'm sure he had a full day of running irrigation and keeping things from drying out. Tomorrow continues the deluge of plants for the plant sale and is also a "shifted" Grumpy day due to Labor Day. I'll get to promote our sale on local radio and have lots to do in preparation for the sale. No doubt it will be a busy week! Below is a nice image of globe amaranth (
Gomphrena globosa 'Woodcreek Orange') in our entrance garden. Sometimes it can be a bit floopy in rich soils but is doing well as an upright. This is also a great cut and/or dried flower.
