This is an installation by Raqib Shaw, of a decadent gardenverse. As June strikes, this decadent effusion of flower-studded jewelled greenery crawls over everything, so I declare him the flowermaster of June.
Here he is in his own words: "there is a crisis if an orchid doesn't bloom on time". We've all been there. Painted in enamels, using a porcupine quill, this is an exotic, luxuriant, glossy garden indeed.
I found this from Vogue, which felt I might also like this: (Secret Garden : Versailles - use that link if the player below misbehaves or you fancy better-quality audio)
Why yes vogue, thankyou, I do. Enjoy the silence - and the gardens.
