Because beauty helps, this is the Villa Farnesina in #Rome, full of bright early 16thC frescoes - incl Raphael's "Galatea" on the wall left - filled to the brim with heavenly creatures: gods, planets, constellations, cupids, and birds everywhere 🤩

A combination of formal, semi-formal and wild through the hedge at the back. It’s the variation that keeps my interest. About half of the sixty or so roses have been pruned, hope to finish the rest today.
Wishing all gardeners a productive day.

I’ve read many of them and it was uplifting to remember that they are still out there waiting to be read and reread.
