A Pink Garden

Yesterday, I came across an email, which is showing the photos of a pink garden named Shiba Sakura or Moss Pink located at Hokkaido, Japan. I would like to share with you as it is admiring. Enjoy it!!






I had searched some information of this kind of plant. This Moss Pink, with scientific name, Phlox subulata, is a perennial creeper growing to a height of 6 inches and covering a 20 inch wide area. The small, five-petaled flowers bloom in rose, mauve, blue, white, or pink in late spring to early summer.

According to news, this plant give off an odor that can supposedly be mistaken for marijuana. This has been known to cause altercations between gardeners and law enforcement personnel or criminals.

However, is this kind of garden attracting you?
