Beauty and Oddity

« When the first winter frosts begin and all nature falls asleep, little porcelain buds delicately open. The Christmas rose then unfolds its most beautiful colors for the biggest pleasure for the eyes. Its fragrance is not the strongest, but its beauty in the heart of winter leaves no one unmoved. »
By Bastien
Such weird leaves, it looks like mold.

Among the leaves

 Among the leaves and the grass, a flower came out. It survived the freezing and cold to bloom in February. With its purple color, it shines and proves to us that nature is beauty.

New visions for Spring

«  Ô Ladybug, what are you doing here? The redness of you shell makes it like a snowflake foreshadowing the spring. But it is yet to come! My dear, how can you cope with the coldness? Is the sun enough? Is the sage’s softness enough? 
Evening may come, frost may have its way, but we’ll meet again, my dear ladybug,
Enjoying together the warmth of the sun. » by Ulysse

Crocuses

This year spring is early and I have enjoyed looking for shoots and flowers. I saw a lot of small flowers blooming and they have the most beautiful colors. Those purple, orange and white ones were hidden and appeared when I bent over to smell a plant, truly revealing their beauty. – Text and photo by Valentine

Dainty little rose

You dainty little rose seem nice and snug by the fence, as if keeping a kind eye on the herbs and the sprouts… And when evening falls, I picture you whispering stories to your rapt neighbours, in the quiet breeze… But tell me, what is your story? (text and picture by Guillaume).

What is that?


A garden is not always pretty as most flowers decay, becoming sometimes unrecognizable. That is the case here: these are the remains of white roses which lost their color and scent. They now look more similar to a wasp nest than to a flower. Let’s hope that instead of decorating the garden they will soon be used for the compost. (text and photo by Sohalia).

The Last Rose of Summer


This is a shiny red rose that stands out over all the green around it. The most fascinating thing that dazzled me was the fact that this is the last rose alive in the garden and the visit was only 2 days before the end of summer, and that it resembled me one of my favorite violin pieces, “The Last Rose of Summer.” (text and photo by Karsion)

Aster


When I was in the “Jardin Pontanique”, I was struck by this little flower. First, I though that my vision failed me. But after taking the flower in picture, there was no doubt on, this daisy is purple. Indeed it is an Aster, like a purple daisy. (text and photo by Loucas)

Would still be as sweet

This is a photograph of a white rose that is located on the left side of the willow tree in the pontanique garden. I find those complex flowers absolutely magnificent. Roses are relatively easy to grow as they do not need a lot of water and care which makes it an even more interesting plant! (text and photo by Maxence).

A rose by any other name

I took this photograph of a red rose I saw in the garden today. I found it beautiful. Although its scent was weak, its colour was bright and uniform. It is a lonely rose covered with some rainwater droplets which reminded me of the morning dew. (text and photo by Erwan).
