Tout à vous G Caillebotte´ (Translation: "My dear friend, I am sending you a basket of perennial plants (2 species), the least numerous is an Aster whose name I do not know.

Extraordinary mass effect. All yours G Caillebotte") VG
Claude Monet (1840-1926) French Impressionist Painter.
Caillebotte and Monet had become friends since 1882, when they shared the same studio. Horticulture, in addition to painting, was the other shared passion of the two friends. Thus they experimented on their canvases but also in their respective gardens, in Giverny and Petit-Gennevilliers.
