Morning Hermes

A Japanese theme this morning. sensible use of water here.

I'm going to take time to research these type of gardens more. I'm particularly interested in the way they use moss as some of it is highly decorative. That said, it's never easy to find rare or unusual plants here in France.

Moss is weird Rob, it needs a high rainfall and for me will only grow where it feels like it.
