4 French Flower video Practice

I really do like flowers, even though unfortunately, I’m oversensitive to many pollens and scents
 So it’s mostly flowers outside for me
 But in Paimpol, Brittany, where I live, I don’t have a garden 😖 I do however have a tiny patio with many planters!!

Here is a short “live, unscripted” video I shot of the planters on my tiny patio. Sorry, no CC.

Here is another live video I shot at a flower grower. Use the CC option on the bottom right for English or French subtitles.

The region where I live, Brittany, is well-known for its hydrangeas
 Subtitles in French and English available.

And another one of gorgeous hydrangea still in bloom in October!
