... I usually store my ABC Wednesdays in the Greenhouse but not so this week. I thought as it is not about my garden, potager nor the greenhouse I'll rather have it here.

R is for Risskov
These pictures are from Risskov near Århus, Denmark

Meet Claus Dalby’s fantastic garden, that I call a ’Whiter shade of pale’ garden. This man can really paint with his plants, though his spring garden is almost monochrome it is truely amazing, so very beautiful. Claus found all these wonderful plants and composed them into a crème coloured symphony for his spring garden.
ABC Wednesday and the letter i s R, find more participants here and read more about Claus Dalby's fantastic garden in Risskov here
All the pictures are from Klematis, I just made the collage.
I never really understood that lyrics...hm
But still it's a great song by Procum Harum and lyrics by Keith Reid.
I wish you all a happy ABC Wednesday round.

Det var et nydelig sted du hadde funnet. Danmark på sitt beste. Jeg har vært i Århus mange ganger, både på jobb og ferie. Reiser gjerne til Århus igjen.
Teksten til Procul Haru r nok for de avanserte, men de fikk en vri på Bach som få andre har klart.
It is a beautiful collection of images for r. A lovely virtual walk.
What a gorgeous garden! And your photos are beautiful! love the colors.
Gorgeous! It is so Denmark. I visited there one time, years ago and these few photos took me right back! Thank you!
never been to Europe, so this is how I travel. thanks.
Så stiligt! Lite annorlunda mot en annans trädgård, där man trycker när plantor där det finns plats... oberoende av färg och form... Ha en skön långhelg!
Så underbara trädgård Tyra! Den måste jag få se i verkligheten!
Så underbara bilder du har tagit!/Anja
What a glorious Spring paradise!
André och Anja tack snälla för fina kommentarer, visst är det en sagolig trädgård. Jag har inte tagit dessa bilderna tyvärr jag har bara satt ihop kollaget. Tänkt om man hade en sådan trädgård, jag undrar hur många anställda man måste ha...
Thank you all for your nice comment, I cannot actually take credit for the pictures unfortunately, they are from Klematis, I have just done the cillage.

Fabulous, Tyra! Spring, spring, spring!
Just beautiful, so serene and restful.
That is a fantastic garden, wish I could visit myself. I could never limit myself to such a limited color palette - it would be so tempting to add a splash or orange!
The garden is stunning, yet so peaceful looking! Beautiful surroundings. Thanks for sharing. :D
Claes Dalby beundrar jag mycket, men min största favorit är förstås du!! ;-) Du har väl inte missat "Drivhusdrömme"? http://www.dr.dk/DR2/Drivhusdroemme/Index.htm
Sex program som handlar om drivhus och mycket annat. Du hittar de olika avsnitten under "Se programmerne". Go' förnöjelse!!

What a beautiful place ! Jeg var mange ganger i Danmark, hvor jeg har Danske venner i Holbaek. Jeg var kun en gang i Århus.Jeg var også i Ålborg en gang. Jeg liker Danmark og hele Skandinavia!
Your blog is AWSOME!!!!
Tyra...it is a beautiful garden and I think your description of him painting it is marvelous.
I never understood the lyrics to that song!

Wow, Claus trädgård har jag beundrat både på tv och i tidningar. har du varit där? Ser fantastiskt ut!
Trevlig helg!
Beautiful and inspiring!
I must come visit!

Hi Tyra, I always loved that song even though the lyrics are slightly nonsensical. It seems after seeing them written down that they were dancing and had been drinking too much? HA Anyway, Claud's garden is a masterpiece! The tulips with the variegated iris? is just look wonderful. A true artist with the planting spade.

Oj, vilken fin trädgård. Har aldrig hört talas om den. Alltid roligt att hitta nya fina trädgårdar. Får åka dit någon gång när jag är hemma i Sverige. Kram Ingrid
So very beautiful! I just kept looking!!! Even a whiter shade of pale can be awesome.
What a beautiful place to visit! The paler shades certainly have a dramatic and serene effect. I would have a difficult time keeping from adding a few bright colors to my own garden, though. I never understood those lyrics either, though I'll be humming that song all afternoon:)
oh my goodness ~ what a masterpiece. I never think of creating/planting in shades of the same color but look how spectacular it turned out. I love it! Thanks for sharing it with us too. It's one of those gardens that deserves to be seen & appreciated by many people. Hope you're having fun planting??
Det ser ju helt underbart ut,
ha en trevlig helg, kram.
Stunning! a real work of art.
You have a lot of cool pictures here, very nice to look at. I never understood that song, either. It sounds like he's describing an event, and we weren't there, so . . . oh, well!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic garden. We are happy to have flower come out well in our garden. It is so fascinating to see how he can combine the different color of the flower into a beautiful painting.
Did you make the collage? These flowers (and the photos) are wonderful. They make me miss my garden still more.
Risskov is such a pretty place, one I would LOVE to see in person!
What a beautiful place that is! And I don't understand "A whiter shade of pale" either, but the sound... Wonderful!
Such a beautiful house and garden.
A person could feel very calm and contented in such a lovely place
Tyra,
Your photos are lovely as ever.
So very nice, I just want to keep clicking for more and more then going back and clicking more.
