Giverny

I always think about my trip to Giverny,

Monet's garden in France.

Monet planned his garden to paint and

every plant could be part of the picture.

I had a small pond once.   I added a water lily and fish and Pickerel Weed (Pontederia cordata).  Then the raccoons came in every night and ate the fish and killed the water lily, but the Pickerel Weed kept on growing.
