A garden of flowers in the far north

Grete post us these photo all the fashion from westerly Norway . Despite being extremely far north , Norway has a amazingly mild climate , thanks to the warmth brought in by the Gulf Stream . That same weather pattern add huge amounts of rain — an average of 90 inch per class . ( For comparing , excellently rainy Seattle only get an norm of 37 inches per year . )

plenty of peonies ( Paeoniaspecies and hybrids , Zones 3–8 ) in full bloom slip the show this clock time of the twelvemonth .

Numerous low - farm shrubs make a dense arras of green that is beautiful and command very little maintenance .

The beautiful , broken Norse landscape urinate an incredible backdrop for a camellia ( Camelliasinensis , Zones 7–9 ) bush loaded down with pinkish flowers . This plant witnesses to the incredibly moderate clime .
