Japan

Acer palmatum 'Oshio Bene':

My garden is firmly linked to Japan through plants such as Camellias and exquisite Acer palmatum varieties, but most especially via the Koi who were born there, their beauty created by the Japanese culture of continuous refinement.

The horrifying events of the past two days has been heartbreaking, and Japan has been and continues to be in all our thoughts. The Showa variety of Koi is a symbol of power and strength.  Strength to you, Japan.
