Japan and the Netherlands are two entirely different countries. Yet we are connected by a long-lasting bond that goes back for more than 425 years.
For several centuries, the Netherlands was the only western country that traded goods and knowledge with Japan. During this time the famous botanist Philipp Franz von Siebold visited Japan as a physician for the Dutch East Indies company. He lived there for several years and brought several plants to the Netherlands that later became very popular in gardens around the world. Plants like the hydrangea, hosta, and Japanese maple.
Some of the trees he brought to the are still alive today. And around one of these, a now almost 200-year-old Keyaki (Zelkova serrata), the Siebold Memorial Garden was created. A garden that is a blend between the east and the west and a living symbol of the bond between our countries.
During the Japanese state visit to the Netherlands, His Majesty Emperor Naruhito of Japan visited our garden together with our king, His Majesty King Willem-Alexander.
Our prefect Barbara Gravendeel and I had the honour to show the guests around. We talked about the past of our garden, but also about its future. This Keyaki for example, is a species that can withstand our changing climate and could keep our cities green and cool in the centuries to come. But also showed examples on how allowing nature to take its course and promoting biodiversity in our direct environment makes us more resilient to the whim of nature.
East, west, the past and the future all coming together.

They are. In order of appaerance:
-Blue-cheeked bee-eater
-European nightjar
-Little owl (bactriana)
-Grey wolf
-Black francolin
-Goitered gazelle
-European pond turtle
-Snake. Not sure about the species.
-Blue-cheeked bee-eater
But when they flower, they steal the show with their large petals that range in colour from white with blue to yellow ochre.
These small plants belong to the so-called Oncocyclus section of Iris. A group known to be rather tricky in cultivation. They require a strict dry season in summer and also easily rot in winters that are too moist. These are definitely not plants that you simply plant in your garden, but they are incredibly beautiful and worth the effort of growing them in pots to keep them dry when needed.

And to see them by the hundredsand to smell their scent... Something to remember.
Himantoglossum formosum.
Thank you and for this wonderful experience.
There is something special about seeing an orchid in the wild for the first time after only knowing it from books since childhood. The Satyr orchid (Steveniella satyrioides) is the only species of its genus and a plant that, as far as I can tell, has never been grown or offered commercially and can only be found from Crimea to Northern Iran. Most people that want to see this rare orchid go to Turkey, as the locations are well known and safe to travel to. But I think that the best country to see them in is Azerbaijan. Not only because it is also a safe country. But mostly because two varieties can be found there. The classic form, which is locally abundant in the northern part of the country (Caucasus mountains), and the MUCH rarer spotted variety called Steveniella satyrioides var. iranica, which only occurs in the very south of the country. (Talish mountains) both varieties can also be found outside of Azerbaijan. But to have them both in one country is pretty unique.
Here you see a mix of both varieties.
Each flower has two spurs. Hence the name Satyr orchid as they are reminiscent of the two horned mythical creature.
While driving trough the hills of Lerik in Southern Azerbaijan, thousands of yellow flowers graced the grassy areas in the forests. I assumed that they where yellow loosthrive plants. But when I saw them up close I was suprised to see flowers with an odd long snout and eye spots. Like tiny elephants or masks from Venice. These plants where Rhynchocorys elephas. A semi-parasite related to broomrapes and rattlers (Rhinanthus). The name Rhynchocorys means something like snouthead and elephas means elephant.
Due to their parasitic habit they are best grown together with their host plants. Though I have never seen these in gardens so far.
However, this plant turned out to be very hard to find. And after a while I stopped my search. And then it was there. Just randomly standing between some other plants at a plant fair.
I now grow it for a few years and noticed that this plant has the potential to become a popular houseplant, as it is easy on the windowsill, and it can be propagated by means of cuttings.
It comes from Madagascar, where it receives seasonal drought. It can lose all its leaves, which is fully natural. My plant does that in winter, which is perfect, as the low light levels are not good for the leaf development anyway. In spring I water it well and place it in a warm and bright spot. It then wakes up, and from that moment, it requires regular waterings and fertiliser.
There are also fully green forms of this plant. This is why it is best to see what you buy. Like its more famous relatives, the passion flowers, this plant is a climber. Though not nearly as vigorous. The small flowers are green and white. Nice, but definitely not the reason why people grow this plant.
So far I haven't heard that people were successful in producing seeds. This might indicate that most plants are cuttings of the same individual and that it is unable to pollinate itself.

This plant can be found flowing wild on islands such as Corsica and Mallorca. The Western form has more blueish foliage and is generally a bit smaller than the Eastern ones. I grow both forms, and the one you see here is the Eastern form.
