Finally was able to visit the wonderful garden
SON MUDA close to Felanitx.
The thing is, it is a private garden and only once a year the premises
are opened to the public. The pretty huge garden serves on that day also
as an art gallery, local artists are invited to expose their works.
Invited are customers - Son Muda is a garden design company, too.
"Flores y Arte", only once a year.
"Schwein gehabt" as the Germans say: we were lucky!
Because of corona virus all kinds of big gatherings are cancelled
at the moment. So Son Muda organized a one day private tour
happening, the owner guided us through the garden, we were the
early birds, some other people had registrated for later hours.
One of those funny but cool sculptures.
These are newcomers in Son Muda.
Outdoor art needs outdoor materials, a lot of stone and iron is shown.
Watch out! Running animals! Noooo, not really.
Many peacocks as well, and there is always the thin line
between kitsch and art when peacocks are getting artsy.
Here the decorative birds we pretty amazing.
Oh, those handbags are soooo funny. It is such a simple idea,
just take a stone and and some iron on it ... would you think.
But the simplicity is the key idea!
Humour plays always a huge role in art.
And the location, you have know how to present your art works.
Such a perfect point of view.
Humour, I tell you, is important.
Of course, you are welcome to buy any of those exhibited art works.
Just contact Son Muda.
The pretty minimalistic home page gives you an idea
of the style and class of the garden on Son Muda.
Even if the photos are black & white.
Yes, the garden itself is also great. It is Majorcan but with
geometrical layout, surprising plant combinations,
ways through labyrinths, only white flowers.
The woman behind the garden is interviewed here,
even if your German is not perfect have a look at the beautiful photos:
Some of the artist you can find in these websites:
Well, inspired by Son Muda or not, we got seven brothers
or seven dwarfs planted along our drive way.
Actually, this idea has been in my mind some time.
Officially: Pennisetum orientale, the oriental fountain grass.
Lampenputzergrass.
Oho, katsokaas tätä suomenkielistä kuvausta:
Sulkahirssit eli neekerihirssit (Pennisetum) on heinäkasvien (Poaceae)
heimoon kuuluva suku, jossa on noin 80 lajia. (Wikipedia)
Should I give those seven grass plants names?
Seitsemän veljestä (Finnish for "seven brothers") is the first and only

regarded as the first significant novel written in Finnish and by a
Finnish-speaking author. (Wikipedia)

Aapo – twin-brother of Tuomas, logical and peaceful
Tuomas – scrupulous, strong as a bull, although Juhani claims to be the strongest brother
Simeoni – alcoholic and the most religious brother
Timo – twin-brother of Lauri, simple and earnest
Lauri – the most solemn brother, friend of nature and a loner
Eero – the youngest brother, intelligent, clever, quarrelsome when confronted by Juhani
