The photos were taken during our holiday in France, Messanges. This week was dedicated to France.
The first photo was taken by my Dutch daughter. Here you see an oleander bush and banana trees.
The last photo represents some banana trees too.Click to enlarge.

Gilbert Bécaud sings and you can hear him in the video of the next post.
For translation of refrain and one verse, scroll down.
L’important,
c’est la rose,
l’important,
c’est la rose,
l’important,
c’est la rose,
crois-moi…
----------------------------------------------------------
Translation into English
Refrain:
What's important is the rose (3x)
Believe me
------------------------------------------------------
Toi pour qui, donnant donnant,
J’ai chanté ces quelques lignes,
Comme pour te faire un signe
En passant
Dis à ton tour maintenant
Que la vie n’a d’importance
Que pour une fleur qui danse
Sur le temps…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation:
You for whom I have sung, giving giving,
these few lines
as to make you a sign in passing you.
Now it's your turn to tell me
That life has no importance
but for a flower that dances
in the wind.
This was the front garden of our holiday home in Messanges, France from August 4th till August 11th, 2007. There were not many flowers but the banana trees were very decorative. We had a wonderful view of the forest.

Oh i love the garden with all the beautiful flowers. What is that plant with the big leaves?
I love the Oleander Wil......
We have several of them, both the Pink and White!

I think if I were there, I would not want to leave the place. I would sit out there and sip my iced tea and read a book and think that life is good!
We hebben hier bij ons ook jaren bananenbomen gehad,
maar ze zijn nu door het koude weer helemaal verdwenen.
Prachtig om te zien,
het straalt daar een apparte sfeer uit.

This looks like a lovely place to spend time! It must have been nice to be surrounded by such beauty.

The banana trees look very lush like the ones I grew in Singapore. I suppose it is just for decor, you don't get any fruit,like the ones grown here in Auckland.
Love the kitty, banana and flower pictures..
The song is beautiful too.
Thank you for sharing!
