peer agreement (net): +5| γλαυκά κυπαρίσσια blue cypresses Explanation: Pairs of blue conifers (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard'), and silver-and purple weeping pears and beech, stand at its viewing points. The pink-gravel courtyard is formally framed by two pairs of Santolina chamaecyparissus. And an avenue of blue cypresses (Cupressus glabra 'Pyramidalis') marches from the fountain to the door - their recessive colouring combining with the curving, narrowing path to help create a false perspective. Cool colours always appear to be further away from the eye than they really are, and warm colours closer, properties that can be used either to exaggerate or foreshorten distance. For the same effect, Honey will also place slightly taller cypresses at the front, and shorter ones at the back. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/main.jhtml?xml=/gardeni... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2005-12-20 19:11:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- γλαυκός = που έχει το χρώμα του ουρανού (συνώνυμα: γαλάζιος, γαλανός ΝΕΟ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟ ΛΕΞΙΚΟ ΕΜΜ.

Αντίθετα, το είδος Cupressus macrocarpa (μια ποικοιλία του είναι το Goldcrest) είναι πολύ ευπαθές στο παθογόνο και πρέπει να αποφεύγεται η χρήση του. http://www.ellinikietairia.gr/articles.php?action=read&id=32... • CUPRESSUS – ΚΥΠΑΡΙΣΣΙ…………………………………………………..101 Cupressus arizonica (= C. glabra, Γαλάζιο κυπαρίσσι ή της Αριζόνας) ..…..........101 Cupressus lusitanica .................................................................................................102 Cupressus macrocarpa ........................................................................…..................103 Cupressus sempervirens (Κοινό κυπαρίσσι)…..........................................................103 http://www.agrotypos.gr/books/konoforaContents.htm One of the more interesting plants in Red Butte's Mediterranean section of the Floral Walk is the Arizona Blue Cypress, Cupressus arizonica 'Blue Pyramid'. http://www.redbuttegarden.org/Gardening/?c=PP_Cupressus_ariz...
