When we visited at the beginning of May, Nymphenburg Gardens didn't have many formally planted flowers, with the exception of beds of pansies in two locations.
I've always liked pansies, but never thought they were that special. Until our May Day morning walk.
The pansies planted by the main palace had the most amazing effect from the night's rain.
In front of the cafe were beds of a different variety of pansies. These were sprinkled with pollen rather than rain drops, but were the most vibrant, frilly pansies I'd ever seen.
