More Spring Beauty
Because nature’s beauty is endless
As the month of April is moving further, more and more spring flowers are covering the lovely gardens around our neighbors. Tulips are the latest species joining the party.
Last weekend we visited my parents and went to their garden plot. When I grew up all you could find in there were vegetables and fruits. I was the one planting here and there some flowers. Just for the eye, you know.
But since I left, my dad shifted more and more towards flowers. Next to the hard work of growing a vegetable garden he also cares for his flowers these days.
These lovely red flowers are growing in the rock garden I started when I was still a teenager. It looks like some snails were on the move over the blossoms a few hours prior to my visit.
Throughout the garden, my dad planted on several spots tubers. And now in spring, you have these lovely blossoms growing out of the grass.
Daffodils are still the most common spring flowers. Also in my parents' garden plot. But tulips are almost taking their show. With their graceful appearance.
The common hyacinth, also known under the name of the garden hyacinth, is native to southwestern Asia. In the 16th century, it got introduced to Europe.
And then there is this lovely branch blossoming and I can’t even remember where I captured it. My plant identification app couldn’t help me either.
Below is one of many apple trees in my parents' garden. We’re still eating off their last harvest from October.
Back home again I got another shot of these stunning tulips in front of the scenery of our fairytale village.
And on one of my walks in the forest, I passed these daffodils not knowing what I was seeing. I first thought it’s a weird way of withering. But when I looked closer I saw these are different daffodils. They are their own species.
As stunning as they are, they leave me in the unknown. I could not identify their species. Yet. Maybe someone else can help me?
