This is a nice visit, Gerd. Super large stone troughs and I am surprised to see a Dahlia  so early.

Perhaps the Uncarina is  Uncarina roeoesliana  ?

[Maggi Young]

What a grand Chinese garden.... a pleasant place to wait!

a nice garden, and i like the stone troughs too!
the tree fern makes me think that my whole yard should be sheltered between -or within-glasshouses!

Thank you Maggi + Cohan!

Maggi: Unfortunately I didn't note the species name of the Uncarina.

Gerd,
thank you for your impressive report. All the plants are so beautiful,but my personal
favourites are the tree ferns and the enormous Taxodium trees.
