I built a garden on my rooftop terrace. Netizens: It's absolutely stunning.

I live in Shanghai, a place where it's scorching hot in summer and freezing cold in winter. I have a terrace garden. I water it every day now. When it's above 30 degrees, the herbaceous flowers need watering twice a day. I'm on the top floor, you know, 40 degrees. I think it can reach that, but after April it's above 40 degrees!

The only upside is probably the abundance of blooming flowers. Staying in a garden like this, I have no motivation to go to work!

Just looking at the dense flower buds is such a joy. To have a small courtyard like this in one's lifetime truly leaves no regrets...

I've been growing Margaret Princess rose for almost three years. The apricot-colored flowers are incredibly beautiful. Given that my space isn't that large, I plan to try training it into a tree form after this blooming season...

Clematis 'Crystal Fountain', this is its second year. Because I didn't do a good job with the supports, it grew into a tangled clump. This year I finally managed to find one of its stems and guide it onto the white trellis next to it, and it finally started climbing. I still highly recommend this variety, the flowers are truly beautiful:

This is the large floor-to-ceiling window of my study. A rose arch surrounds it, and right in front of the window is a large row of geraniums, blooming every day. Especially when it snows in winter, they look absolutely beautiful against the snow.

Geraniums are the hardest-working flowers, blooming every day all year round. In winter, just place them against the wall base and they'll stay warm. I also highly recommend trailing geraniums. They truly don't fear heat or cold and bloom every single day.

The white ones aren't alliums, they're thrift (Armeria), a very fresh and artsy flower with a literary vibe. The dark ones are spent blooms. I also have a pink variety that I transplanted into the large rose planter box, planted together with horned violets of the same color palette.

Actually, this planter of yellow marguerites was two very, very large plants before last year. They got so big they simply couldn't fit anymore, with branches stretching out and taking over most of the pathway, so I had to dig them up and give them to the old lady on the first floor to plant in the ground.

Looking out from the living room door, directly facing you is this pot of yellow marguerite, very bright and eye-catching.
