On a sunny day in April
The statue of the Compte de Bouffon who was the curator in 1739.
Plant labels showing  what was currently flowering in the beds. Sorry the photo is not in focus
Grape Hyacinths, not labelled.
One of the flowering trees, this one not labelled
A Judas tree, labelled
What a joy to find so many plants labelled.

More to come

No garden but two balconies, one facing south and the other north.
Most of my plants are succulents which need little care
