Description
Europeans love their window boxes and whether you are in a large urban centre, or in the countryside, whether the owner are rich or poor, you will see gorgeous, colourful splashes of blooms that you are less likely to see on the North American side (more particularly, in Canada or the United States).
This is something I would really like to see here, especially since I've noticed less blooms are being planted each year, and those that are being sown seem to be rather rather tame of colour. In fact, lately I've seen a great deal of white flowers "contrasting" against grey cement -- hopefully these were mistakes rather than a growing trend -- and while I dearly love greyscale monochrome, when it comes to floral blooms, I'd love to see some splashes of colour against the hardened concrete.
In Switzerland, balconies, shutters and window boxes are in abundance; colours are lavish and profuse. This is but one. It is a cozy window on the grounds of the elegant and lavish Meggenhorn Castle (Schloss Meggenhorn) near Luzern.
