Dombeya x cayeuxii flowers
New botanical collections are gradually being incorporated into the 23 hectares that make up the
estate. Before a new group of plants can be introduced, a detailed study must be carried out in
order to determine the scientific and didactic features that will inhabit the area to be
landscaped. The species to be planted are subsequently selected in accordance with the requirements
of latitude, humidity, temperature, soil type, exposure to the sun etc.; the florae chosen are then
tracked down in the Index Seminum, in plant nurseries or in other botanical gardens before finally
being acclimatised and developed. There then follows a certain amount of deskwork to determine the
exact scientific name of the species in question according to the latest taxonomic studies.
