Floral Bliss #21


We have had a bit warmer, but the spring is a month late. So not much bliss to show you. 
Therefore I start with a lilac mosaic from last May,
to be followed with some modest photos of yesterday.

Carex siderosticta in bloom

Lilium martagon starting to grow

Old wheels aside my pond...

Sambucus racemosa

Tulipa tarda starting to bloom



We don't have many huge & old trees in Finland.
But this oak called The Oak of Paavola is huge and well-known.
It is said to be 400-500 years old and has won the title of the most beautiful tree in Finland.
The photo was taken on Sunday, no leaves yet. Lohja, Southern Finland.


This photo from online.

  1. Ihastuttavia kuvia taas. Syreenikollaasi hyvin kaunis, samoin muut kukkakuvat. Vanha puu satumainen, pitkine oksineen.
    Sen alla olisi ihanaa istuskella hetkinen. Tuntea sen ikä ja voima, kuunnella tuulessa oksien kuiskimaa tarinaa.
    Aurinkoista viikkoa :-)

    1. Vanhat puut ovat ihania. Meidän tontilla ei sellaisia ole, vain yksi ikivanha omenapuu, jonka kukinta on aina kevään kohokohta. Kiva kun kävit, nautitaan keväästä!

    Pidän näitä vanhoja puita
    Se on maaginen olento, joka säteilee voimaa.

  5. I like the old wheel next to the pond and the plants growing in and around it. The ancient special oak is magnificent! Thank you for organising the linkup. I'm taking pleasure in joining in once again and seeing so many beautiful plants and flowers from other participants. All the best Riitta.

  12. Die Flieder-Collage ist wunderschön. Die Lilien sehen so gesund aus. Bei mir werden sie immer von den Lilienhähnchen zerfressen. Und das Wagenrad als Deko sieht toll aus. Tulipa tarda ist bei mir schon verblüht. Wunderschön ist das Foto von der alten Eiche! Welch ein ehrwürdiger Baum! Was der wohl schon alles erlebt hat...
    Liebe Grüße

  18. Hello Riitta! The tree, with the large branches, is so impressive; it must be so lovely to see such great tree; nature is amazing...
    And the flowers are stunning, from the tulips, lilacs to those that are not so known, by me. For instance, I do not know to much about Carex siderosticta. Very interesting details captured from up close.
    Wonderful aspects from nature in Spring! Have a great Sunday! Alexa

  19. Dear Riitta,
    I like the old cartwheel and the little blue flowers (Scilla?) at the pond. The wild tulips are beautiful.
    Have a nice weekend!
