Korean Fir: Odds-On Favorite.
And They’re Off! The Korean Fir Takes the Lead in Garden Excellence!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE MOST SPECTACULAR CONIFER COMPETITION OF THE SEASON!

Coming down the stretch, it’s Korean Fir by a nose!

In the purple corner, weighing in at a steady 15-30 feet tall when fully mature, we have the MAGNIFICENT KOREAN FIR – Abies koreana to those keeping score at home! This beauty’s coming in at 3-to-1 odds for “Most Distinctive Cones in the Evergreen Division!”

AND LOOK AT THOSE PURPLE CONES, FOLKS! Standing upright like tiny royal crowns, they’re absolutely STUNNING the competition! No other fir in this race can match that signature purple-cone combo – it’s a dead giveaway, ladies and gentlemen, a DEAD GIVEAWAY!

The field is tight as they round the climate curve…

Korean Fir’s showing its mountain breeding here – native to those high-altitude Korean peaks at 3,000 to 6,000 feet! This champion LOVES the cool, humid conditions, thrives in that 10-to-1 shot territory where other trees would fold under pressure! The bookmakers had this one figured for “Most Likely to Succeed in Cool, Moist Climates” and BY GOLLY, they were right!

HERE COMES THE NEEDLE DESCRIPTION DOWN THE HOMESTRETCH!

Those dark green, glossy needles arranged in a spiral pattern – *twisted at the base, folks, TWISTED AT THE BASE!* – they’re catching the light like emeralds! The white-banded undersides are flashing as Korean Fir makes its move on the outside! This tree’s got more character per square inch than a seasoned thoroughbred!

And the soil conditions are PERFECT for this runner…

Rich, moist, well-draining, slightly acidic – Korean Fir is IN ITS ELEMENT! The odds were 2-to-1 against any conifer handling these exact specifications, but this champion is making it look EASY! Full sun to partial shade? NO PROBLEM! This tree’s versatility is paying dividends!

ATTENTION GARDENERS – WE HAVE A SLOW BUT STEADY WINNER!

Don’t let that moderate growth rate fool you – Korean Fir’s playing the long game! 5-7 meters in cultivation, up to 12 in the wild – this is CONSISTENCY, people! The smart money’s been on this pyramid-shaped powerhouse all along!

We have a problem: there’s the warning flag – extreme heat and humidity ahead!

Korean Fir’s showing some vulnerability here, folks – those urban conditions and sweltering summers are this champion’s kryptonite! The odds just shifted to 5-to-1 AGAINST for “Surviving Houston Heat Waves!” But in cooler climates? This tree’s UNBEATABLE!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS THEY CROSS THE FINISH LINE…

Korean Fir takes home the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit! The crowd’s going WILD! Those grayish-brown bark patches, those resin blisters, that perfect conical form – it’s a WINNER by every measure that counts!

Final odds: Korean Fir – 1-to-1 favorite for “Best Ornamental Conifer for Cool Climate Gardens”

WHAT A RACE, WHAT A TREE, WHAT A CHAMPION!

And that’s a wrap from the Garden Track, folks – Korean Fir proving once again why it’s the champion of the conifer circuit!

Ginkgo Biloba: A Symbol of Hope
Autumn’s golden gift

Tap to view in my red bubble gallery

Deeper roots. In the heart of Japanese landscapes, the Ginkgo biloba tree, known as “icho,” stands as a representation of endurance, resilience, and a deep-rooted connection to history. This ancient tree, with its distinctive fan-shaped leaves, not only graces the surroundings with its unique beauty but also carries profound cultural significance in Japan.

Resilience Amidst Adversity. The Ginkgo biloba tree has earned its place in Japanese culture as a symbol of resilience. Planted near temples and shrines, these trees have weathered the tests of time, standing tall even in the face of environmental challenges. One notable example is the Ginkgo at the Anrakuji
Temple, a living witness to the atomic bomb’s devastation in 1945. Despite the destruction, this Ginkgo tree not only survived but continues to grow, becoming a powerful symbol of hope and the indomitable spirit of life.

The Spirit of Endurance. The Ginkgo is a dioecious tree, existing in male and female forms. The female trees, although producing seeds with a distinctive, somewhat pungent odour, symbolise fertility and the cycle of life. However, it’s the male trees that are often preferred for landscaping due to their cleaner appearance and the absence of seeds.

Connecting Past and Present. Beyond its physical endurance, the Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil, dating back around 270 million years. Its presence in gardens and landscapes serves as a bridge between the past and the present, emphasising the importance of preserving history and the natural world. The Ginkgo’s longevity echoes the cultural values of tradition and the interconnectedness of all living things.

Medicinal and Cultural Significance. In addition to its cultural symbolism, the Ginkgo biloba holds medicinal significance in traditional Japanese medicine. Extracts from its leaves are believed to enhance cognitive function, although scientific consensus on its efficacy remains varied. This dual role as a cultural icon and a potential source of healing adds layers to the Ginkgo’s importance in Japanese society.

On to the future. As the Ginkgo biloba graces the landscapes of Japan, its symbolism goes beyond mere aesthetics. It embodies the resilience of a nation, the endurance of nature, and the hope for a harmonious future. In the shadows of temples, amidst the bustling urban centres, the Ginkgo stands as a silent but powerful reminder of the intertwined threads of history, culture, and the indomitable spirit of life.

Beneath the Weathered Bark
In the quiet cradle of the forest’s breath, a humble oak seedling awakened, nestled within the varied canvas of emerald secrets. Time unfurled its leaves like pages in history, and as seasons pirouetted in the sunlight, the oak grew to touch the sky with wise, gnarled fingers.

Tap to view my redbubble gallery.

The ancients whispered to it of the world’s ephemeral dance. The secrets of mankind etched on its bark as the observer of folly and triumph, scarred witness to a tapestry of human ambition. From iron plough to steel skyscrapers, it bore witness to the voracious thirst for progress.

Yet, in the dying whispers of leaves that once rustled with life, the oak’s enigmatic lament emerged. The legacy of mankind, etched deeply into its aged rings, bore the weight of sorrow and responsibility. As it withered, the world it knew crumbled, and the once-vibrant forest dwindled, overtaken by the encroachments of urban banality.

Mankind, the same hands that shaped civilizations, now held the blade that carved the oak’s fading epitaph. The delicate balance of nature, once protected by reverence, now teetered on the precipice of oblivion. The silent oak, keeper of nature’s chronicle, grieved for the world it had known, a desperate commentary on humanity’s paradoxical journey—nurturer and destroyer, the hand that both planted and uprooted life.

The oak’s final whispers carried a poignant warning—a riddle of choices made, a legacy on the brink of fading, and a plea for the world to heed the echoes that lingered in its fragile leaves, before the story ended, and all that remained was silence.

Just be
The art of just being is a gift that we can give ourselves. It is a gift that can help us to live happier and more fulfilling lives

I took this a few years ago in North Wales. Tap to see my red bubble gallery

The beauty of this photo is that it is open to interpretation; who knows what lays beyond the mist. It is a reminder that there is beauty to be found in all things, even in the simple and everyday. It is also a reminder that inspiration can come from anywhere, even from a simple photo.

The fog itself is a reminder of the mystery and wonder of life. It is a reminder that there is always more to be discovered, even in the familiar. It is also a reminder that it is okay to not have all the answers.

The art of just being is about slowing down and appreciating the beauty of the present moment. It is about letting go of our worries and fears, and simply being present in our own skin. It is about connecting with nature and with ourselves.

Here are some thoughts on the art of just being, inspired by this photo:

Allow yourself to be open to interpretation
Don’t try to force a specific meaning onto the photo. Instead, let the photo speak to you on a personal level. What does the photo make you think of? What emotions does it evoke?

Pay attention to the details
Notice the way the fog dances around the tree. Notice the branches reaching up to the sky. Notice the leaves that are still clinging to the tree, even in the winter.

Use the photo as a starting point for your own creativity
Write a poem or a story inspired by the photo. Paint a picture of the scene. Compose a piece of music. Let me know what you create; the possibilities are endless.

The Sweet Sweet Chestnut
Big Tree!
Tap to view in my redbubble gallery.

In the midst of all the historical events that took place 1000 years ago, a small but significant act occurred: a seed was planted in the ground, the beginning of what would eventually grow into a towering tree that has stood the test of time. This 1000-year-old tree, with its roots firmly planted in the earth set me thinking: it has watched as empires rose and fell, as cultures and societies evolved and changed.

The Byzantine Empire was at war with the Bulgarian Empire, with both sides fighting for control over the Balkans.

The Holy Roman Emperor Henry II, also known as Saint Henry the Exuberant, was consolidating his power in Germany, and was beginning to expand his influence into Italy.

The Fatimid Caliphate was in control of Egypt and parts of North Africa, and was at odds with the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad.

The Song Dynasty was in power in China, and was beginning to establish itself as a major force in East Asia.

In the Americas, the Mayan civilization was still thriving in Central America, while the Ancestral Puebloans were building impressive structures in what is now the southwestern United States.

The Vikings were raiding and trading throughout Europe, with many of them settling in areas such as Ireland and Scotland

History is a complex tapestry of events and people that have shaped our world into what it is today. Throughout the ages, civilizations have risen and fallen, empires have come and gone, and technologies have advanced at an incredible pace. Despite all of these changes, however, there are certain fundamental aspects of human experience that remain constant. Love, grief, greed, joy, and loss are just a few examples of the universal emotions that have always been a part of the human experience, and that will continue to be so in the future. The physical world may change, but the essence of what it means to be human remains the same, and it is this common thread that ties us to the past, present, and future.

Red Rowan
A deciduous tree or shrub known as a rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia) or mountain ash can be found all throughout the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, Asia, and North America. The tree can be identified by its pinnate leaves, thin, silver-grey bark, and clusters of tiny white flowers in the spring. Rowan trees are also well-known for their huge clusters of red berries that bloom in late summer to early fall.

Magical Protector
Tap to view in my redbubble gallery.

The red berries of the rowan tree have significant cultural and symbolic importance in many countries and cultures. In Europe, the berries were traditionally used for making a popular drink, which was believed to have medicinal properties. They were also considered to have spiritual significance and were used in various rituals and ceremonies. In folklore, rowan berries were believed to have protective powers and were often used to ward off evil spirits.

In many cultures, the rowan tree was associated with protection, healing and good luck. For example, in Celtic folklore, the rowan was considered a sacred tree, and its wood was often used for making protective amulets and talismans. In Scandinavian folklore, the rowan was known as the “mountain ash” and was considered a powerful symbol of strength and protection.

One of the most popular stories about the rowan tree is that of the “Rowan Tree and the Red Thread.” This Scottish folktale tells the story of a young girl who is visited by a fairy queen and given a magical red thread, which is said to protect her from harm. The red thread is tied around the branch of a rowan tree, and it is said that as long as the thread remains unbroken, the girl will be protected.

In conclusion, the rowan tree is a species of tree with a rich cultural and symbolic history, particularly known for its red berries. Its red berries are associated with protection, healing and good luck in many cultures, and it continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many people today.

The Crab Apple Tree

A Celebration of Nature’s Gifts
Tap to view redbubble.

There is something magical about old, majestic trees standing alone in a field. They seem to have a sense of timelessness and strength, as if they have seen it all and are here to stay. This is certainly the case for the big, old crab apple tree that stands in the middle of a field on the edge of town.

On foggy mornings, the tree seems to take on a particularly ethereal quality. The soft, swirling mist envelops the tree, making it appear as if it is rising up out of a dream. The gnarled branches reach out into the fog, as if they are reaching for something just beyond our sight.

Despite its age, the tree is still strong and vital. Its branches are laden with glossy, dark green leaves in the summer and a riot of red and orange in the fall. In the spring, the tree is covered in a blanket of delicate pink and white blossoms, attracting swarms of bees and other pollinators.

But it is in the fall, when the tree is heavy with fruit, that it truly comes into its own. The crab apples hang like bright, shiny orbs from the branches, waiting to be plucked and turned into pies, jams, and jellies.

As the fog lifts and the sun breaks through the clouds, the tree is bathed in a warm, golden light. It is a sight to behold, and one that never fails to take my breath away.

The big, old crab apple tree in the middle of the field is more than just a tree. It is a reminder of the beauty and resilience of nature, and of the passage of time. It is a place of solace and contemplation, and a source of joy and inspiration.

Endless Horizons

The Tree and the Sky: A Beautiful Partnership
Tap to view in redbubble.

A single silhouette of a tree stands tall against the vast expanse of the horizon. It is a striking image, one that captures the majesty of nature. The tree stands alone, a solitary sentinel against the ever-changing backdrop of the sky.

As the sun rises and sets, the horizons shift and change. In the morning, the sky is awash with the golden glow of the rising sun, casting a warm and inviting light over the landscape. As the day progresses, the sun moves higher in the sky, the light growing brighter and more intense.

In the evening, the horizon takes on a different hue, as the sun sinks lower in the sky. The sky is painted in shades of orange and pink, the colors blending and shifting as the sun dips below the horizon. And as the night falls, the tree stands tall and proud, a steadfast presence in the darkness.

The single silhouette of the tree is a powerful and enduring image, one that speaks to the resilience and strength of nature. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of the natural world, a reminder of the beauty and majesty that surrounds us every day. No matter what the horizon may bring, the tree stands tall and unyielding, a symbol of hope and inspiration for all those who behold it.

A Single Tree in the Woods: A Golden Nugget of Beauty

Nature’s Artistree
Tap to view in red bubble.

As I walked through the woods on a crisp autumnal day, a single golden tree caught my eye. Its leaves, a vibrant shade of yellow, seemed to glow in the sunlight filtering through the trees. It was like a beacon of warmth and beauty amidst the sea of green and brown that surrounded it.

I couldn’t help but stop and admire the tree for a moment. Its branches were adorned with a canopy of golden leaves, each one shimmering in the sunlight. The tree seemed to radiate a sense of peace and tranquility, inviting me to sit and bask in its glow.

As I stood there, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe at the beauty of nature. The golden tree was a reminder of the cyclical nature of life, as the seasons come and go and the trees change with them. It was a small but powerful reminder to appreciate the simple things in life and to take a moment to savor the beauty that surrounds us.

So if you ever find yourself in the woods on a beautiful autumn day, take a moment to appreciate the golden trees that dot the landscape. They are a testament to the wonder and majesty of nature, and a reminder to take a moment to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

A Field of Dreams
Golden Horizons

As I wander through the field of golden corn, the sun is high in the sky, casting a warm glow over everything. The air is filled with the sweet smell of the ripening crops, and the rustling of the stalks in the breeze is like a gentle lullaby.

I tilt my head back and gaze up at the blue sky, dotted with fluffy white clouds that seem to stretch on forever. The clouds are so white and pure, they almost seem to glow against the deep blue of the sky.

I close my eyes and breathe in deeply, taking in the peaceful atmosphere of the field. It’s hard to believe that such a serene place exists in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the modern world.

I wander through the rows of corn, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me. The rustling of the stalks and the chirping of the birds overhead create a symphony of nature that is both soothing and energizing.

As I continue on my journey, I can’t help but feel grateful for this moment of peace and beauty. It’s moments like these that make life worth living, and I am grateful to be able to experience them.

As the sun begins to set, casting a golden light over the field, I know it’s time to head back home. But the memory of this dreamy field of golden corn and a blue sky with white clouds will stay with me forever.
