Art of the Joy
While deciding what elephant I would sketch for todayβs prompt, I ended up getting lost for a bit watching videos of baby elephants. Their sheer joy and exuberance was intoxicating to watch as they experienced the world around them. Though we donβt actually know what an elephant is feeling precisely, since we donβt speak their language, itβs easy to observe that they approach life with quite a bit of joy. The birth of a baby elephant will cause the entire herd to blare and circle the newborn with excitement. In fact, itβs thought that an elephantβs emotional bond with its family members may actually rival our own. Since, as I said, humans donβt speak elephant, the list of things that we think brings them true joy is rather short. Their enjoyment in life is basically summed up as being with friends and family and playing games. It made me realize that when it comes to true joy in my own life, the list isnβt really much longer than that. While I encounter things that make me smile each and every day, they donβt quite bring the incredible level of delight that can be truly be known as joy. This is, as it turns out, is much rarer than it seems. |

AEONIUM ARBOREUM βSCHWARZKOPFβ (PURPLE AEONIUM)
Exotic succulents for conservatories or very mild gardens. Plants produce a tall yellow pyramid of flowers. These perennial succulents can only be grown outside in the very mildest of gardens where there is danger of only slight frost and the soil is free draining. Otherwise they make excellent house or conservatory plants. If deprived of light (in winter, particularly), they loose some of their purple-ness and turn green in parts. The purple-ness returns with the return of the sun. In their native country they sometimes seem to prefer shadier spots. They will tolerate a fair bit of our weaker British sunshine so if you have one growing inside ensure it still gets plenty of light, although not a very sunny windowsill. If grown in a pot make sure you don't over water (easily done) especially in winter and early spring before growth starts, otherwise rot quickly sets in and reduces roots to a mushy mess. However, if this does occur all is not lost. Take the remaining bits of healthy rosette or rosettes, remove the lower rotten section and place them in a seed tray filled with perlite - they should root out quite quickly. Aphids and slugs seem to be the most common pests but apart from that Aeoniums are pretty easy plants to grow and keep. Propagated by us from cuttings. |

Agapanthus 'Blue Storm' (Lily of the Nile)
Plant these en masse for maximum impact. The flowers are more much numerous but much less tall (to 4ft max) than in the huge and better known Agapanthus africanus. Drifts of them work wonders. The clue's in the name - it's an enormous amount of blue. It's also hardier than Agapanthus africanus but dies down in the winter. Flowers for several weeks during mid-summer. Best in sun in any reasonably well drained soil. A comparative comment on Agapanthuses : The big one (Agapanthus africanus) and the little ones (Agapanthus 'Blue Storm' and 'Snow Storm') cannot really be compared. It's tempting because they're both Agapanthuses and they both have green strappy leaves and either blue or white flowers but the big one stands alone and are so big that they can be used almost like topiary - a pair in pots either side of an entrance for example. There's no reason why you couldn't do the same with the smaller ones but the smaller ones really lend themselves to being planted in drifts - blue or white rivers wending their way through the garden. The point is, one's not comparing like with like. |

ACER JAPONICUM βMEIGETSUβ (HARVEST MOON MAPLE)
It is an upright and strong grower reaching 2 or 3m over 10 years. Best grown with their feet in the shade and head in the sun, in well drained, moist, neutral to acid soil, protected from cold and drying winds. Prune lightly for health but never when the sap is rising in the spring. Propagated by cuttings/grafted. |
