Rhododendronpark Bremen 2009 (Flickr)

Leaf from a handkerchief tree...

Not one of the most colourful ones but still... I liked her silvery looks. (And it's not so easy to catch a photo of them with my camera anyway). ;)

From an extensive walk in our Rhododendron Park in Bremen some time ago. I haven't been too excited about taking new pictures there during all this rain... yet. ;) Some more pics will follow (I try to upload pictures I haven't posted on Flickr). About the Rhododendron Park: In June 1937 the Rhododendron-Park was opened in Bremen as the first show and experimental/test garden. This park comprises the second largest Rhododendron collection worldwide and invites for extensive walks during the main blooming period in May and June. There are more than 2000 species of rhododenrons and azaleas that change the 46 ha site into an uncommon and spectacular riot of colour during this period. Im Juni 1937 wurde der Rhododendron-Park in Bremen als Schau- und Versuchsgarten eröffnet. Der Park umfasst zusammen die zweitgrößten Rhododendron-Sammlung der Welt und lädt zur Hauptblütezeit im Mai und Juni zu einem ausgiebigen Spaziergang ein. Mehr als 2.000 verschiedene Sorten von Rhododendron und Azaleen verwandeln dann die 46 Hektar große Anlage in ein außergewöhnliches Farbenmeer. www.gartenfreunde.de/community/ausflugstipps/rhododendronpark_und_botanika_bremen

Flickr meets Ipernity? ;) (Thanks for the suggestion, Dynamo!) :))

What a weekend! I took part in a Dorn/Breuss therapy course - and my back felt so airy and light afterwards. So relaxed! I didn't want to spoil the effect therefore I avoided the computer for a while... :)
