I can't top taking photos of the luscious flowers blooming all over Paris. While on a Marais tour the other day the oversized pink tulips and wild roses sprouting from the vines in the garden of Musée Carnavalet were too irresistible not to snap. There were some divine red wine colored tulips in the formal garden of the Hotel de Sens, a former medieval castle, now a textile museum and library. It's been unseasonably warm and sunny in Paris, more like summer in the past two weeks and the temperature has climbed into the high 70s the last few days. I hope you are not getting tired of my flower photos but they are the ones I get the most comments on.

Oh, so lovely. How about some wisteria? I love how it often grows from a tiny hole in the sidewalk into a huge vine up and over a doorway.
