As we embarked on the journey of constructing our second flower tunnel. Bamboo on sandstone floor. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation. We armed ourselves with 10 mm steel rods and bamboo. Consequently, we began to shape our vision into reality. The strong steel rods provided a sturdy framework. Therefore, It intertwined seamlessly with the lightweight bamboo, lending an organic touch to the structure.

The Siding of the Flower Tunnel

The sides of the tunnel were adorned with hamakan. In fact, we encased the railing in bamboo stripes, and halved bamboo tubes. Furthermore, to cover the tops, a combination that not only offered durability but also exuded a rustic charm.
At the bottom of the fence, we drilled holes to release standing waters. For this reason, Mosquitos won’t get a breeding ground. The solid concrete footings, forms made of flower pots. Those anchors are drilled into the Panas. Hence, they ensured that our creation would stand firm against the elements, providing a sanctuary for the vibrant life that would soon flourish within.

The Roof of Bamboo

Bamboo halves gracefully formed the roof. They created an airy canopy that would create a shadowy space. A cool breeze from the cliff was caught, while rain was draining to the northern side.

On one side of the tunnel, rose bushes—each a riot of color and fragrance—stood proudly, their delicate petals swaying gently with the breeze. Alongside them, two oil palms towered gracefully, their fronds casting delicate shadows on the earth below.

The Flowers, Roses

And close by we have vibrant roses with the grandeur of oil palms created a harmonious balance of beauty and elegance.
And in between, we find a tropical evergreen, soon slick, slender, and tall, dominating as the towering princess of this stretch of the Flower Garden.

The Flooring

Underfoot, the flooring comprised natural panas. In fact, it people affectionately do know it as sandstone. But we meticulously laid panas tiling in strategic areas for practicality and visual interest. Consequently, warm tones of the sandstone naturally complemented the vibrant colors of the flowers, creating a cohesive and inviting space.

This is Our Second Tunnel

This second flower tunnel became a testament to our dedication and love for gardening. Indeed, a place where nature could thrive, and beauty could be savored in the most exquisite forms. The combination of robust construction and lush, lively plants transformed the space into a dreamy retreat, offering a glimpse into the tranquility and joy that a well-tended garden can inspire.
