This corner of the garden is where I can usually be found most late
afternoon, after a stressful day at work, usually with glass of wine or a stronger
drink inhand. I love to sit there and
take in the whole garden as the sun goes down, it recharges my batteries.
Today I had the day off from my 9 to 5 job, and decided
to take back my Zen corner. The
heliconias, banana trees and white bird of paradise needed some heavy
trimming.
Before
After
Some bromeliads do well in the shade, and this is a perfect
spot for these Persimmons.
These bromeliads on the fence were cover by overgrown
plants.
The old white bird of paradise plants are not very attractive,
but the flowers are so tropical.
Garden Art.
This weekend, I attended a local art show and came home with these
two pieces, an ibis bird made of plastic tubes and a beautiful birdhouse. Some people might not consider these pieces
art, but I do and so do the people that made them.

I love everything about this post starting with the glass of wine all the way to your garden art. Oh - and the white birds of paradise. You have truly created a Zen corner ~ just beautiful.
that Ibis is awesome - I am in awe of people who can create things like that. I love your little corner and am amazed you can grow such a big plant as the bird of paradise there. Continual cutting back seems to be the answer.
Hey Rusty...Your Zen corner looks very inviting. I like the way it's kinda hidden away back there. Everything down your way definitely looks greener than here. We haven't had a freeze but we tend to take on that dull grayish-green winter look this time of year.
