Garden of the Month, February 2001
Floral Park, Nice, France 
The following photos were taken late March, early April 2000 at the Floral
Park (Parcs Florales) in Nice, France. Located right on the Mediterranean,
it has many types of floral displays, water features, and large greenhouses
with several climates within. Some impressive features for me were
the masses of bulbs, which I did not expect to see in such a Mediterranean
climate; the underplanting of ALL bulbs with other flowers such as primroses
or pansies leaving no bare ground or mulch showing; and the justaposition
of bulbs next to palms next to desert plants.
In a hurry or want an overview of some of these? Then check out
