Travelog post for: Oink

Hi Mum...Oink Oink

today we vistited two nice places but I will start with the Botanical Garden of Solingen


Growing in the wall I found the first nice flowers


In the whole park Yoou can find metal sculptures

Can You see me in the middle, behind the rose?

It begins with a nice little alpinum where You find some nice different plants






Look at the wild bee or bumblebee


Now we are in the area that looks like a small spa park




There I found an owl reading a book


This is the little spa park again




Some last peonies are still blooming, but thees are the very last ones

Here am I inbetween some pinks, or gillyflowers (dianthus)


Here we are in some plots again








Look at this huge columbines (Aquilegia)



And the blue colour of this delphinium is incredible


Now is a good time to admire the roses they have there









Some of them have a beautiful fragrance, but the most do not smell, what a pity

Here we are in the upper part again







I have never seen such a huge butterfly


And even not such clourful one

In the alpinum flows a little micro-river



And this is one part of the donators-table and the friends of the botanical garden who support it, that the garden can be still open for the public without any fee entry, but You are welcome to spend a little amount, of course.
