In the old village core stood an ancient farm, with a house, stone stable and traditional wooden barn. Later a smithy was opened there, even later, before the second world war, a village store with an inn was arranged. Today, on the ruins of decrepit buildings a new house with a garden that combines traditional and modern motifs was created. Images of old orchard, flowering meadows, sand petanque, majestic walnut trees and rosarium were recreated and preserved. Old apple trees were emphasized with circular sand carpets. Around the oldest one seven corner stones of the old house were set. The owners have lovingly called this place 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' when in spring the apple blossoms unveiled a Snow White's dress. * Photo Credit - Landscape d.o.o. Slovenia

Plant variety - aren't these hydragenas rather than peonies? »
The more contemporary part of the house is fronted by a slightly more formal garden space. The bright color of the hydrangeas is a bit unexpected against the wooden walls, but they work surprisingly well. Gravel makes maintenance fairly simple.
This garden that combines traditional and modern motifs features fuchsia-hued hydrangeas planted with a ground cover of pebble gravel surrounding them.
Magenta is one of those hard-to-pin-down colors somewhere between blue and red, in the purple-pink range. Magenta is the name of a little town in Italy where a battle occurred between European forces. The bloodshed was said to be so ghastly that the fields were stained reddish purple. After the battle a dye was developed in the region, made from coal tar. This dye was named magenta in remembrance of those fields of battle.
