The botanic garden in Lyon has a variety of greenhouses and, on the day of my visit, a beautifully still lake, yes. But what really took my breath away: The most impressive display of dahlias that I have ever seen. The color of those flowers! I had a thing for dahlias that summer, 2018, there were beds of these voluptuous flowers of Mexican origin in both the Bergius garden in Stockholm and in Visby – but nothing beats this extravagance. It was overwhelming.
