Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003. Love the outdoor life, gardening and sailing especially. View my profile

Fourth Sunday of Advent

This post "Fourth Sunday of Advent" was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius Lindhe in the blog Tyras Trädgård/Tyra's Garden


It is The Fourth Sunday of Advent and today we lit the fourth candle. The Candle of Joy!



In all my window sills I have now during Advent a lot of fragrant and so very pretty Hyacinths. Along with the Amaryllis Hippeastrum they are my favourite flowers now in Advent.


I Wish You All a Happy Fourth of Advent

Lucia Celebration in Sweden

This post "Lucia Celebration in Sweden" was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius Lindhe in the blog Tyras Trädgård/ Tyras Garden


13th of December - It is now on this day we celebrate LUCIA. Saint Lucy's Day


Lucia Celebration in Hållnäs Church in the northern part of Uppland, Sweden



A traditional kind of bun is normally eaten on this day, Lussekatt or Lussebulle translated to english "St. Lucia Bun". It is made with saffron.



Although St. Lucia's Day is not an official holiday in Sweden, it is a popular occasion among all ages here in Sweden. Early in the morning we watch the Lucia on the television or "live" at home.

It is one of my favourite painter and it is birthday today. Born on the 8th of December 125 years ago.

"Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez (December 8, 1886 – November 24, 1957) was a prominent Mexican painter born in Guanajuato, an active communist, and husband of Frida Kahlo " Read more - wikipedia



This painting is entitled Baile Tehunatepec and it is from 1928



And then we have the famous Diego Callas.
Here are three very characteristic paintings.
 I just love the vibrant and warm colours in the painting.

Water lily - Nymphaea 'Rhonda Kay'

This post Water lily - Nymphaea 'Rhonda Kay' was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius Lindhe in the blog Tyras trädgård/Tyra's Garden


I was going through some pictures this morning and found this simple yet stunning water lily. It is called 'Rhonda Kay' and I found her in Kew Gardens. 







'Rhonda Kay' at Kew Gardens.The Nymphaeaceae are aquatic, rhizomatous herbs. 




About: Mr Landon the father of the "Rhonda Kay" Waterlily.

"Mr. Landon, a renowned waterlily hybridizer and plant explorer, has assembled a collection that contains 90 percent of the world's known wild species of waterlilies (about 85, he said) and more than 4,000 hybrids. (Most are growing or stored, as seeds or bulbs, at his farm in Miles, about 20 miles northeast of here, or by growers in three states and in Europe.)







Largely self-taught -- he minored in botany while earning a degree in industrial engineering -- he is known around here as the Indiana Jones of the waterlily world. He nonchalantly tells of braving snake-infested waters, escaping the snapping jaws of crocodiles and the like, in his search, from Amazonia to Zanzibar, for some rare wildling once thought extinct.






And every year, thousands of enthusiasts from all over the world come to see these lilies, which Mr. Landon tends through an $80,000 contract with the city. San Angelo is also home to the International Waterlily Preservation Repository, a seed bank Mr. Landon established in 2007. " Read the whole article here.  From an article in the New York Times about Mr Landon  For Waterlilies, An Odd Refuge
