Tulips in Giverny by Robbie Cheadle
During my recent trip to Monet’s House in Giverny, France, I was treated to a magnificent display of tulips in the Japanese and other gardens surrounding the house.

Hyacinths are originally from Turkey and Syria. They made their way to Europe in the mid-16th century and are now widespread thanks to their popularity with growers.
A variety of flowers by Miriam Hurdle

Miriam is a fellow contributor to This Is How We Eat anthology by contributing editor Yvette Prior.

Miriam has some excellent books which you can find on her blog.
Miriam’s commentary about her photographs:
I’ve included three photos from my garden. The first one is a Hardy Hibiscus (species Hibiscus moscheutos), often called a rose mallow, which is characterized by its very large, «dinner plate» sized blooms. The next two are pinkish and yellow daylilies (Hemerocallis) with ruffled petals.
We went to the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, in 2025. I included two rose photos here. One is a Dick Clark Grandiflora Rose with creamy yellow centers that transition to vibrant cherry-red edges, which may darken to burgundy in full sun. The other one is a ‘Love & Peace’ hybrid tea rose, known for its yellow petals with pink edges.
Our family visited the Tulip Farm a few times. These are Flaming Flag Tulips, a variety of Triumph tulips known for its white petals flamed with purple, lavender, or red streaks.
