The entrances and the foyers are usually dark areas, with high humidity and little fresh air. Few plants can tolerate these conditions and one of them is the ivy plant. Every attempt we made with my dear neighbour to add plants in the foyer of our apartments was not so successful. The plants either had a poor development, or they were withered. The small window in the center of our corridor was not enough for their light and their air. So, I decided to grow the ivy cuttings in the water.

The initial aim of rock garden was to reproduce a miniature of the alpine zone in a garden. Nowadays, there are different kinds of rock garden: mediterranean, alpine, japanese, etc. There are various flowers and plants to choose, considering the type of rock garden you want to create. It's also important to choose the right place; usually a place with full light. Between dwarfs shrubs and miniature conifers, you can find many places to make small groups of bulbs: blue star scilla, glory-of-the-snow, daffodils, heather, blue anemone, other anemone species, crocus, cyclamen, iris, grape hyacinth. Most alpines grow easily with little care, as long as the conditions are propitious.
