"I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers. I must have flowers, always and always."
- Claude Monet
Laid out across acres of grounds in front of Monet's home in Giverney, France stands a flower garden of unparalleled beauty. To honor his great love of flowers, nature, light and atmosphere, Monet meticulously chose the colors, the flowers, the trees, the arbors and just the right places to plant everything.
Here, like a visual orchestra, grasses rise, arbors bloom, and in this particular section of his garden, an explosion of orange, red and purple flowers reach a thrilling crescendo.
