#84: 48L Aquatic Garden 《鳳雛》Phoenix

CHOW CHI CHUN SHATIN, Hong Kong

Comments

A lovely two island design with excellent hardscape selection and composition. I feel the lack of planting is the weakest area here with the many species not working well together as a whole. I imagine this layout would look 100% better in 3 months or so.

Carefully designed and executed. I'd like to see some stem plants behind the right side too... keeping them shorteer than the left to maitain the tension you have created but to soften the look on that side which looks a bit stark.

I'm reminded here of the old movie "Them" with its giant insects and their appendages creeping over the horizon.
Unfortunately that thought distracts me from enjoying a rather creative arrangement of plants and hardscape.
The open space in the center is too large and uninteresting. If reduced there would be more room for the rather fun plant stylings.
