I don’t know … but many of you don’t know that I do have a soft side to me – especially when it comes to flowers. I have always been fascinated by the 
different types and shapes of these beautiful plants.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t resulted in a “Green Thumb” for me and my success in growing them has often resulted in failure.
However, I have always been aware on how flowers can give people such a lift. It’s amazing how a simple bunch of blossoms can brighten a day for someone down in the dumps.
Well, if you are someone who can appreciate these jewels that pop out of the 
ground Switzerland is the place for you. Flowers of every sort are everywhere and all over the Alps. Honestly every color and shape you can think of – they are here.
Having a garden is almost a prerequisite in Switzerland. One friend told me he spent over a hundred thousand 
Swiss Francs getting his garden right. Yes, you read that number correctly. 100,000 Swiss Francs!
I saw pictures of it … truly magnificent. A few small ponds, benches, bushes, flowers – it was stunning!
Over the years I have learned that there is a “color 
wheel” that you should use when planting your garden. At our house in Michigan I tried … sometimes got it right
… sometimes not. But, here I share you many shots as I wandered around this “post card” country.
