This is a series of photos, mostly taken in our garden and around London, recording the floral changes during a year. It shows the varieties of flowers that people grow in their garden in London. It is common to see exotic flowers from many parts of the world. Cultivars and hybrids of naturally flowering species are being developed for the English gardens, like the Calla Lily from South Africa and Passion flowers from South American and Asia.
This is a series of photos, mostly taken in our garden and around London, recording the floral changes as the year progress. It shows the varieties of flowers that people grow in their garden London. As properties are becoming expensive, more high rises are being built and population is becoming more work orientated, the number of urban gardens in London is also disappearing. A recent study on aerial photos of London between 1998-99 and 2006-08, Analysis of the dat showed London’s green land dropped by 12% over the period. It also shows the about a quarter of Greater London land is used for gardening.
London has always a world city with a large proportion of its population originates from other parts of the world. Likewise as London also experiences the effect of a more connected world, in our gardens. It is common to see exotic flowers from many parts of the world. Cultivars and hybrids of naturally flowering species are being developed and marketed for the English gardens, like the Calla Lily from South Africa and Passion flowers from South American and Asia.
