從2007年開始上點規模的種花,與其說上規模,還不如說歪打歪撞得種了一個漂亮的cosmos border。當初種的時候屬於brand new beginner,還不知道原來cosmos開花這麽多,border可以整個夏天鮮花燦爛一直到11月份。。這一切都是種花的開始。。
到現在為止尋尋覓覓的learning by doing種了100多種花,也終於找到了自己最喜歡的,那就是玫瑰。。初夏到夏天的燦爛,即便是在落葉的深秋,仍然在一輪一輪的綻放,直到冬季的第一場雪。。漫步在花園,玫瑰特有的那種芬芳每每讓我感到難以抗拒。。每天下班打開車門,每次在後花園漫步,陣陣玫瑰花的香味撲鼻而來。。那一刻:home, sweet home~~~~~~~~~
回顧種玫瑰花的曆程,有一個名字是不能忘記的,那就是heka,讓我至今仍然感激不已。當初剛種花的時候懵懵懂懂,對玫瑰的種植品種等等一無所知。在家坦看第一次看到heka的玫瑰花貼,當時瞪大了眼睛倒吸一口涼氣:哇,玫瑰可以種得如此的驚豔典雅。。。。同樣是heka,在我剛開始種玫瑰花的時候告訴了我david austin rose。。之前,我對david austin rose一無所知。。作為一個brand new beginner,long learning curve是避免不了的。。正是heka的建議,讓我受益匪淺,讓我從一開始就避免了走彎路,直奔david austin rose。。
在我印象裏,david austin rose的同義詞就是:濃鬱的玫瑰花香,繁多的花瓣,典雅的花型,repeat flowering,大花頭密集的開花,長花期, long term sustainable grow。。這都是我最喜歡的。。
下麵的玫瑰花是我自2008年種第一株玫瑰開始3年的結果,有一些是2009年,2010年剛種的,仍在日益建設中^^..
