Forgive me for re-blogging these photos from 2011, but I am missing the particular beauty of May in the northern hemisphere.
This is a garden overlooked by the Chateau de Blois in France.
I took these photos in May 2007.
The garden was designed by Gilles Clément.
The hedges are yew. In between are Mutabilis roses and Stipa gigantea. I have forgotten all the emerging perennials, but believe I saw Joe Pye weed and anemones.
