Inspired Calligraphy, The Brine Garden © Scott Calhoun
 

 

‘The example titled Inspired Calligraphy (Brine Garden, pg 202) features
‘Nana’ dwarf purple willow, ‘Autumn Spire’ maple and “Tardiva’ hydrangea.
Scott poetically describes the effect of the maple’s foliage: “Creeping into the vignette,

the ‘Autumn Spire’ provides a dash of red, like a confident brushstroke

in black and red Japanese calligraphy.”
‘
