Beautiful blooms are in abundance in Paris. The romantic in me likes to think it is because Paris is a city for lovers and what better way to celebrate love than with flowers. The markets, the small grocery stores, the florist boutiques and the grand and not so grand hotels are more often than not overflowing with magnificent blossoms.
Jeff Leatham is the artistic director of the Georges V hotel in Paris. Jeff Leatham creates big and masses many. His rule must be simplicity of bloom and many of them. I have never thought to strip the foliage completely down but I think the way he has massed these just blown roses is gorgeous. I am sure the beauty is in the many dozens of stems....
Twelve or twenty bunches of long stemmed roses will be difficult to negotiate down on the farm but these hyacinth bulbs I can definitely manage. I have often planted mine in glass pots but never in such oversized vases or within like this.
Don't miss the 'floral' side of Paris in a rush to see the sights...it is worth the detour, xv.
