Hello GPODers!
We’ve been reveling in spring right here on Backyard Picture of the Day, however in the present day we’re heading south of the equator to see what fall is wanting like within the Southern Hemisphere. We’ve had a number of GPODers contribute from the alternative finish of the world, however in the present day’s submission was a bit of additional thrilling.
Nearly 10 years in the past, we featured the backyard of Ezequiel Martín Barakat in Ezeiza, a metropolis situated within the Higher Buenos Aires space of Argentina (try these posts right here: A Cottage Backyard in Buenos Aires and Cottage Type Desires in Buenos Aires). Most of his plantings had been very younger on the time, and the area was simply beginning to develop into the “cozy evergreen cottage backyard” that the gardener dreamed of. At this time we’re getting the long-awaited replace.
I’m a follower of the journal. I feel it’s the greatest backyard journal in English talking international locations, stuffed with suggestions and great and sensible concepts. A while in the past, I despatched you the pics of my cottage backyard in El Trebol Ezeiza Buenos Aires.
Now I wish to share my final gladioli that bloomed loads in summer season (they’re so beneficiant!). Now, it’s autumn right here in Southern Hemisphere and every little thing is tainted in ochre and yellow. Hope you want them.
All one of the best! Greatest needs, saludos from Buenos Aires.
Ezequiel Martín Barakat Ezeiza Buenos Aires.
I might say that Ezequiel was very profitable in his quest to create an evergreen cottage backyard in his local weather. Whereas there are many gold hues as he mentions above, there’s nonetheless loads of lush greenery.
This lushness is much more spectacular whenever you see how a lot solar his gardens get. This full solar mattress is shining, however sun-loving flowers—just like the African lily (Agapanthus africanus, Zones 8–10) within the foreground—are offering pops of shade.
One other African lily, this one a vibrant white selection, paired with the towering blooms of a canna.
Equally as daring and vibrant are the ultimate gladiolus that Ezequiel talked about in his intro. Whereas his show is starting to finish, gladiolus in North America are simply beginning their present.
One other shot, doubtlessly on a much less sunny day, actually reveals off the greenery in Ezequiel’s beds. Whereas he lacks the brilliant fall foliage we get pleasure from within the Northern Hemisphere, he is ready to get those self same scorching colours from late-blooming flowers.
Whilst a lot of his flowers fade, a beautiful combine of colours nonetheless stay.
And a greater have a look at the sunny yellow gladiolus.
One final view down Ezequiel’s lengthy beds showcases the gorgeous mixture of flower colours and foliage textures that he has created. A totally totally different scene than the area we noticed nearly a decade in the past.
Thanks a lot for sharing your backyard with us once more, Ezequiel! It was superb to see how a lot your area has remodeled since we’ve seen it final, however I hope we don’t have to attend as lengthy to get one other replace.
