Dans le Jardin des Plantes à Caen. Marked as a sedative, spelt, which is sometimes classified as a variety of common wheat, has received renewed attention in the past two decades due to the organic farming movement (because it requires less fertilizer and fewer pesticides than other forms of wheat) and as a health food (because it is tolerated by some people who are allergic to common wheat). Dans le Jardin des Plantes à Caen.

Marked as 'toxic' this is a member of the Fabaceae or Leguminosae family of flowering plants. Dans le Jardin des Plantes à Caen.

The bust is of Le Pere Lemaitre, Poete Normand - Charles Lemaître, a poet of the Normandy language, 1854 - 1928. Known as 'le Chansonnier du Bocage'. Dans le Jardin des Plantes à Caen.

Statue of 'Summer' in the public gardens in Caen. Season of sun and mellow fruitfulness, apparently, as the figure has a sheaf of wheat and an apple. Dans le Jardin des Plantes à Caen. Statue de l'été.
