Chelsea Colours part 2

Looking around the Chelsea Flower Show on Wednesday evening, I loved the artisan gardens, and especially the Japanese artisan garden with running water and oval frames in the walls. Designer, Kazuyuki Ishihara, won the Best Artisan Garden and a Gold Medal for An Alcove (Tokonoma) Garden.

It reminds me of the circle shape I see in gates and doors when in China. This is my favourite gate from a local park near where I lived in Kunming. Very serene.

I also liked this miniature mountainous landscape recreated in the Great Pavilion at Chelsea, full of my favourite flowers, the orchid.
