Yay, made a wildlife pond! Emptied the full rain barrel in it (plus water and mud from the old pond and some tap water), will let it settle now and cut the pond liner later, than put the plants back in and order some more plants... #wip #workinprogress #pond #wildlifepond #vijver #garden #gardening #tuin #natuurtuin

@GregWiggleton ooooh I like that!

The final photo (for now at least) from my recent trip to Japan. In the town of Uji is the historic Byodo-in Temple, a Japanese national treasure. The temple was built in 1053 and houses a Buddha statue from that era. The building is so treasured, that it appears on the 10 yen coin. The temple and its gardens are so beautiful. I liked the framing of the temple between the trees with the reflection in the water below.

A fascinating mutualistic relationship on a branch in my garden — red wood ants (Formica sp.) tending a dense colony of black aphids. The ants protect the aphids from predators in exchange for the sweet honeydew the aphids secrete. Nature is full of these unexpected alliances! Een fascinerend mutualistisch tafereel op een tak in mijn tuin — rode mieren (Formica sp.) die een dichte kolonie zwarte bladluizen bewaken. De mieren beschermen de bladluizen tegen roofdieren, in ruil voor de zoete honingdauw die de bladluizen afscheiden. De natuur zit vol zulke onverwachte samenwerkingen! #mieren #ants #bladluizen #aphids #natuur #nature #tuin #garden #tuinleven #gardening #insecten #insects #biodiversiteit #biodiversity #DorgaldirsGarden #Dorgaldirs_Garden

Mystery Time:It wasn't there yesterday, was there this morning when I just went outside to feed a magpie..Someone has placed good quality mulch and soil all over my heat-ravaged garden that died off during the last summer apart from a few established stronger plants/bushes Whoever you are THANKYOU! I couldn't manage it with my back and health, but now I can at least manage to replant some nice ground cover and blooms over time, now that the good quality soil is in #GoodDeeds #Mystery #Garden #Gardening #Adelaide

@dpc2 Thank you. I’ll give that a try. I’ve been away for 7+ weeks, so they got “stickier” than usual.

Plum Blossom Festival – Inabe City, Mie Prefecture Every year from mid-February to mid-March, Inabe Agricultural Park transforms into a stunning sea of plum blossoms. Unlike cherry blossoms, plum trees bloom earlier in the season, making this one of the first breathtaking flower events of the Japanese spring! 2026 Dates: February 21 – March 20 #photography #spring #flower #japan #garden
