Cindy, thank you very much for the links. Not only did I learn more about The King’s Garden, I also discovered some new information about crocuses, giving me ideas for my own planting in the fall.
This lawn made me think more about the humble crocus.
Hey, thanks for stopping by and liking my post from last year. They are pretty amazing those lawns in Copenhagen.
I enjoyed seeing the progression of the lawn throughout March in your pictures.
Wow! That’s some display. Any reason the crocus were planted in that pattern?
When we were there a week ago, I think the planting was past its best moment. I read the design as a soft plaid, but these photos show — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenborg_Castle_Gardens#/media/File:Kongens_Have_-_spring_flowers.jpg and http://www.evbantiques.com/swedishinteriors/2011/11/crocus-carpet-in-copenhagen.html — that it’s meant to be harder edged cross shapes — I think in reference to the cross on the Danish flag.
I actually like the later unraveling period that I captured better.
