Flowers are gorgeous, moss roof is wonder, pond is beautiful, etc, etc. Thanks for sharing.
I’m really glad you like them. My family loves moss garden, and had tried to make them in our garden, but my town was too hot and dry to grow moss in the summer, so we gave up begrudgingly.
¡Esto es una preciosidad!, besos
Muchas gracias!
