I'll have to re-examine where all I want to put it. I'm curious about the bamboo barrier. It looks more like some kind of super heavy-duty fabric than the plastic barrier used in America. That second Cyclamen photo has some really gorgeous foliage in it. I love the dark-centered leaves.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-22907751612014597382018-04-02T06:48:22.661-07:002018-04-02T06:48:22.661-07:00Thanks for these photos.

I have always planned to go to Andre Citroen and never made it, but I also read last year that it was suffering from the dreaded "maintenance problems." Your pictures make it look in pretty good shape.

I was there in June and it was stunning - and full of people. I expect there's a cost-saving aspect to the locked glasshouses, since they can reduce (eliminate?) personnel if no one has to be there.

I think you and Evan are probably on point about the disposition of the locals toward their gardens during the winter.
