I wonder if it looks that good in the PNW in winter. And the acanthus looks so lush and beautiful. Thus far, mine has been deciduous, but I think mine is spinosa, so maybe that's why?

So I am guessing they may be a column of blooms in the spring. But the buds are there over winter so you would really have to prune at the perfect moment.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-8866983538131291242018-04-01T08:58:15.812-07:002018-04-01T08:58:15.812-07:00It's much cheaper that way!

My Acanthus stays pretty solid, except for in the coldest winters. Do you ever have it disappear in the summer?

Maybe the greenhouses open when the crowds of garden visitors return in spring? The giant glass boxes look rather like an art installation to me and, in that regard, very French. The gardens behind the hedges were great, though. I especially liked the first one. Were those artichokes (or perhaps cardoons)?Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-30634427840973157622018-03-30T09:16:24.295-07:002018-03-30T09:16:24.295-07:00The locked doors would have bummed me too!
