Strange things this week…It all started out so well…but these are my memories …
…in my ordinary Blekinge again. Don’t we all have crazy dreams sometimes…?
Walks for Cee – Indoor favourites are churches or monastery aisles, and outdoor walks should, if possible, include flowers…
Spain in the header and from the Acores – one of my favourite walks. For more favourites, click here.
Vandring med hortensia och montbresia som sällskap
From WordPress this week – Curves. Natural ones!
In the header – The caterpillars of the Peacock butterfly sitting on the upper parts, and, the undersides of leaves of a nettle plant.
Today is the Nordic event of Wild Flowers’ Day. Originating in Denmark, the purpose is to give people the possibility of finding, learning about and enjoying the diversity of wild plants in nature, in order to have an even more intense experience when spending time outdoors.
Det samnordiska evenemanget ”De vilda blommornas dag” har sina rötter i Danmark, där det har arrangerats ända sedan år 1988. Syftet med de vilda blommornas dag är att människor skall få möjlighet att upptäcka, lära känna och glädjas åt den mångfald av vilda växter, som vår natur bjuder på, och på så sätt få en rikare naturupplevelse.
This event started at 10 a.m and the flower walk, arranged by local botanists, lasted for three hours. I’ll be happy to bring you along! For more events, click here.
A nice lunch at the restaurant and then a stroll in the beautiful surroundings was perfect for my mother’s 81st birthday.
We were lucky with the weather…
…and with roses and poppies as well.
The conservatory has been restored over the years, and is now a building used for exhibitions as well as wedding ceremonies.
Inside is a cool, white dream.
My mother was happy today – and so were we.
Plants, butterflies and insects from a trip to a hidden valley in the Pyrenées. Gorgeous hikes and nature amazingly full of life.
This Astrantia major, common name great masterwort, and below, Eryngium maritimum, or the sea holly, are two of my favourite plants.
Love plants? There are more of them here, at Ailsa’s.
Last year I got 11 tulip bulbs from a dear friend and plant expert. Maybe some of you know about ”the little man” and his concerns for ”my” forest and all its inhabitants. He and his wife have travelled the world, collecting memories and rare plants for decades..Now they are too old to travel, but enjoy their wonderful ”Dream garden”.
What a great gift! You can understand how humble and careful I was when planting and tending to these tulips. They are very rare, and one single bulb costs more than 10GBP or 15USD. I still wonder how they could trust me with them…
This week, they shimmer like gems in my garden. Clear red with yellow petals surrounding…and here is a close-up on one of them, in B&W.

Thank you for being featured last week!
