He waters with a hose, this work takes about 3 hours.Toche how does he do all the watering, by hand?
N Deep sea Diver, o it's a natural bloom, these are just my pictures which are not from this year.Wow, so all of these are forced? Or just very late bloomers ?
I was there this spring and bought a couple of Camellias. Unfortunately, Marc isn't getting any younger and the passing of his wife didn't help. Many of the trees were neglected and there were quite a few dead trees in the conifer greenhouse. There was also a huge ume that had died back and now only has a new branch close to the ground. It was rather sad, as I had fond memories of his place a decade ago.these are just my pictures which are not from this year.

At some point, Marc had possibly the largest collection of satsuki in Europe. He imported a very large amount of advanced trees and organized a yearly Satsuki festival with guest Japanese demonstrators.That’s sad….

A friend went back a couple weeks ago and there were even more neglected trees than in the spring.
