Keeping in the Steampunk Faith
Steampunk gardens are a vast wilderness left unexplored
Converting one's garden on a steampunk mission with visionary dreams
all the prerequisite steampunk elements are contained within: the science of botany, engineering as an art form, recycled and repurposed; pushing the frontiers and boundaries of your wild imaginings
Whether you have wooded acres, bare land, the confines of a small courtyard, the walk of a small balcony or verandah - your garden's soul can be converted and transformed in the steampunk stream of consciousness.
Rambling gothic charm holding deep dark secrets and mystery
MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE
[only for the intrepid]Take a safari through the aether lens
Here we have a majestic and hallowed archway to another world on our spiritual journey
exotic and intrepid in the occidental flavour
Art Nouveau filigree in a stylised philodendron style
the oriental moon gate, circular contoured for luck
a discreet side entrance shadowed and off the street
MAKE A DEEP SPLASH !
be baptised in the joyful cleansing of a water feature
Create ones own spiritual haven
Rivers deep and wide
or somewhere juts to dip ones toes in

This checker board court can be constructed easily with alternating paving squares, vinyl or painted for effect.
To build oneself a mission in the Tropics.
The conservatory or courtyard is open to conversion for a steamy indoor sanctuary

STEAMPUNK IN THE AFTER LIFE
retro and vintage garden furniture , urns , ornaments, pavers, plants & pots can be collected from all over the countryside and taken home as plundered treasure.
Old paint, junk, gates, ironmongery, wire, wheels, the weird and wonderful are all welcome in the steampunk garden. Anything and everything can be reincarnated with a next life of its own.

Begging you to tell me the name of the flower in the second photo from the top (the photo below the one with the tire). I am interested in the flowers featured on the right, an old-fashioned rose color, that look vaguely like poppies. Please tell me that name. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for inquiring Clatchapuss. I believe that is a Shirley poppy. Seeds and seedlings are easy to obtain. I have grown them myself in previous gardens. It is indeed a beautiful bloom.
