Today I saw the most gorgeous garden!
Comments (9)Gorgeous. The last two pictures, may I ask a question? The yellow flowers, it is an orchid, yes ? What kind ? I saw one just like it at a local orchid show and it was stunning.

I have always been confused about San Antonio Sunken Gardens being originally, and now again being called Japanese Garden. From all I know the style is strongly Chinese and in no way Japanese. The Jingu family was supposedly from Japan, but the style is Chinese. The Japanese Garden In Golden Gate Park, San Francisco is one of my favorites. The Japanese family that created that garden was also evicted in WWII. They had a large house/structure in the garden and owned some of the more valuable plants. They rented the house for events. When evicted they took apart the house ( built without nails Japanese style) and moved it to a lot they owned and sold the plants. Some justice was served. A wealthy patron bought the plants and moved them to her estate, but gifted them back to the gardens in her will....See MoreMelissa Northern Italy zone 8
