The <a href="http://www.jardinmajorelle.com/en/">Jardin Majorelle</a> in Marrakesh is breath taking. It's a succulent tucked away in the northern part of the city. The major claim to fame seems to be that Yves Saint Laurent gave the garden to the city of Marrakesh upon his death.  He apparently bought the house when it was terrible repair and today there are over 300 plant species in the garden. Needless to say, my eye is not keen enough to pick out all of the species but it was a lot of fun to look for all of them.<!--more--><a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_3224.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2644" title="The Fountain " src="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_3224.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_3239.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2643" title="Pond 1" src="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_3239.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a>

The house is a vibrant cobalt-blue. Pots around the garden are terracotta, blue, yellow and orange. It's really a sight. The center piece in my mind is a pool in the middle of the garden with a fountain.<a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_3259.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2648" title="Flowers Morocco 1" src="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_3259.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a>

Oh well, I guess you'll have to use a bit of your imagination as well.
