Google has gone green-fingered today to celebrate legendary horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll.
The beautiful blooms on the search engine’s homepage pay homage to the British garden designer on what would have been her 174th birthday.
Born in London on November 29 1843, Jekyll spent most of her life in Surrey, England, on her family’s estate, Munstead House.
A woman of innumerable talents, Jekyll was also an accomplished musician, composer, woodworker, metalworker, and botanist.
Today’s Doodle was created by British artist Ben Giles.
Giles unites the hot and cool colors the horticulturist favored to create a lush and brilliant garden collage.
From the corner of the illustration, Jekyll watches her garden grow.
