I don't think I can live in a place where there is no colour! It is very important for me and sometimes I take photographs just because the colours go together. I once had to make a choice - whether to do sculpture or paint. I chose painting, because I need colour. One needs a life time to do either well, and I realised that I couldn't do both.

These photos are rare flowers taken in a garden in Menton "Serre de la Madone" It's a magic place and every flower practically you see, you have never seen before. It is very facinating and I spent hours either painting there or taking photos of the beautiful flowers. Now I couldn't tell you the botanical names, as I'm not a botanist!
