Fernand in Reconquista                  Cathedral in inside                 

   Capital of Spain is Madrid now… but I supprised, Cordoba was most prosper city in
   Europe at 10 Century…Population of Cordoba is 320,000 now ( third in Spain ) …but
   it seems 420,000 at that time and how was other city ….Pari was only 20,000 and
   Rondon was 25,000 in same time..

   Mezquita is world historical heritage and started build up for mosk of Islum since 785
   to 987..but war of Reconquista by Fernando-3 ( King of Castilla ) changed this mosk to
   Catholic church at 1492…people against to collaps this mosk because, scale is very learge 
   ( 40,000 people can gather into building ) and have comfortable patio…so It decided keep
   and build up new Catholic cathedral in center of patio..this Mezquita is third scale of church
   in the world now, and mix civilization of Islam and Christ.. land scape include town didn’t
   change around 1000 years..streets are lined with beautiful white wall house that decorate by 
   flower basket from window… ( from TV program …)

    Collecting plants is low cost hobby..I baught
    this plant of beautiful leaves only three dollars
    last autumn..I qurious as shop assistant said,
    ” this flower will be bloom “.. honesty say, It
    looks like miserable..only little leaves remain
    on the branch.. I few give uped this plants
    seems weak in winter even in a house room…
    but new leaves were budding at May and
    white flower bloom at June at last…petal figuire
    is very rear and make my eye enjoyable… 
    world have problem of raise up cost for gasolin
    or flour or corn or vegitable or fruits …
    besides, cause many disastor..but flower
   save to mind and overcome stress something..

                     nemecia                                                                   oregano

   Temprature is perfect and comfortable…weather into rainy season right now..
   I baught cute kids ( boy ) statue , he hold hunging basket..so I put garbela
   in this basket..I feel dear mind as my son was very little age..I’m seeding Lavendula
   now and I planted one young plant of lavendula on my back yard , too..back
   yard is front of neighbor’s garden….so I’d like weed a garden and plant something
   simple flower or grass and comfortable for eye of neighber… 


  

                           
                                                                        
  It seems bee’s problem of where was going is getting clear a little..acording of
  research institution by univercity in USA , 30% of bee in USA disapear in this tow
  years..this problem spread 35 states..one hundred kind of fruits and vegitable were
  depend on pollination by bee that a beekeeper have..main fruits flower blossom
  season were almond and next is cherry and next is apple..bee keeper drive with
  moving to an orchard and orchard..

  It seems a habit of bee is favorite to eat many kind of nector..so It seems hard
  work as eat only one kind of nector in learge orchard…beekeeper move next
  place three weeks later..bee caught stress with long driving ,too….strange thing is
  death body of bee isn’t discover and only don’t return back to bee nest..
  It seems lebel down of immunity make bee weak and tired..a larva must eat
  many kind of nector but they eat only one kind of nector during six days for
  important growth time…

  It seems onother problem is take used  weed-killer and insecticide..this drug
  make bee stress..these drug break to bee’s nerve and lose bee’s direction sense..
  or take use pheromone to bee that get more work power..

  Concern about these report, it seems broken to natural style in nature..one reason
  is orchard become large and one fruits orchard continu same area..this is result of
  mass order fruits from world for example, almond or mask melon or blue berry..
  one beekeeper have around 1,000 box of nest..but it seems limited is one hundred
  nest box for care to bee..Wondering, bee became tire for deal with request of
  mass honey production…

      Van Cliburn        Sergey Vasilievich Rachmaninov   
    

    I loved music of  Rachmaninov (1873-1943) who was composer in Russia..
    I had record of his piano concert No.2 by Van Cliburn ( 1934~ )..I knew 
    Rachmaninov image and incerted church bell in this number..Rachmaninov was
    noble and faith to Eastern Orthodox church…He moved to America after Russian
    revolution ( 1917 ) …this famous great music was played in many cocert or piano 
    competition…I feel nature dorama in Russian music ( Tchaikovsky , too ).. they 
    praise to soil as like as God..

    Van Cliburn borned in Luisiana LA and he won No.1 in piano competition
    at first Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow ( 1958 )..this competition started
    in middle of Cold War..and It seems show Russian art power to the world..
    but Van Cliburn of USA won in piano section..(Violin section was Russian )
    this sensational debut of him was 23years old and became hero of nation…
    Newspaper uped photo of open car parade with flower blizzard in Texas..
    and wrote ” Texas man won to world piano competition ! ” …

                   diascia                                                   ( this flower is really spread at onece ..)

     It’s getting hot day by day..but today is very comfortable and perfect temprature
     for body….crazy blossomed viola is getting final life and a stalk is lay down for
     high temrature or can’t keep water inside..but flower is high blossom so I ask
     to lady of the house opposite…” viola is end at last ? I few give uped yesterday
     because all flower lay down in hot temprature but they become get up again
     today..”  She..” yah, also many person take away all viola even have a lots
     of flower in this time..and plant other flower instead of ..but I feel few wasteful
     so keep more for a while..” Me..” the seed will come up with natural next
     season ? ” She..” yes, I have some of viola that sproud out every year..”

     Viola is an annual so I’ll pull up viola by the roots when flower’s become power
     less finaly…I planted some of bulb back space of viola in early spring..
     I’m looking foward what’s going on…I tryed plant some of flower seed ,too..
     These photo were all a perennial..so they show me flower every year if I can
     keep them best condition…tree is easy but a flowering plants make me few
     emortional when they caught sick and not effect a spray and witheredand died…. 

 

     

         　　 

        Wisteria is Fabaceae and vine plants….vine is leaded to trellis as like as grape and flower
