That pink and green colour scheme is curious - I wonder if there has been some kind of oxidisation going on there, I must try to find out. And the landscape wallpaper with the large figures in the foreground seems to be quite rare too, as the figures in Chinese landscape wallpapers tend to be much smaller. But then that is one of the fun things about Chinese wallpaper: that because much of it was hand-painted they could easily adapt and vary the designs. The figures with sofas and tables, by contrast, appear to be a group of Chinese prints 'collaged' together by the German paper-hangers, showing the ingenuity of the western response to these Chinese products. Thank you very much for sharing these pictures.Emile de Bruijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040735807801997971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-16800209428648382182014-07-26T09:35:13.958-04:002014-07-26T09:35:13.958-04:00That lawn of daisies ?

With other wildflowers coming into bloom earlier/later than the daisies.<br /><br />Do you know why? <br /><br />Best for chickens, livestock, and the potager.<br /><br />Do you know why those white clover are good for the potager?<br /><br />Increase crop yields on vegetables & fruit by as much as 80%, with zero extra effort. What is the great meaning of this, for our era? The clover/etc are about SURVIVAL. <br /><br />What does the mixed meadow do for livestock? Supplies needed nutrients/minerals for healthy young to be born without birth defects and continued health/vigor throughout their lives.<br /><br />Daisies? Hardly. Pure survival for man & beast.<br /><br />Decades ago touring my first European historic garden I knew immediately that those low meadows were Tara Turf. Been working with it ever since.<br /><br />USA? Had the luxury of mono-culture lawns needing fertilizers/chemicals/irrigation with a mow-blow-go-commodify-all-I-touch man in a truck to come weekly. The first chemicals advertised for USA landscapes were the chemical companies losing their market at the end of WWII. They advertised to mothers with children, not wanting 'bugs' to bite their babies.<br /><br />Will stop here, I think you get the idea now about 'daisies'.<br /><br />Garden & Be Well, XO TaraTara Dillardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233493520013405385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-14608452056013031982014-07-24T03:25:30.133-04:002014-07-24T03:25:30.133-04:00I love colourful Chinese wallpapers.
