After 85 years, the garden is still maintained
as Monet widhed. Monet planted an array of
vibrant colors of Tulips, Rhododendrons,
Azaleas, and Irisis, all reinforced by the
tireless color scheme by the presense of Julian,
Peonies, Poppies, and Forget Me Nots. To end
this slide show, another painter and a friend
and admirer of Monet arrived after Monet had died
and saw his body covered with a black shroud,
explaining that it was
inappropriate .  No Black for Monet,  Black is
not a Color . He then pulled down the
colorful curtains of the windows and
covered the body of the famous painter.
