Paradise on Earth - Part II

PART II with azaleas of Rhododendron Park Haaga, Helsinki.

The scent in the air was sweet and enchanting, the colours from a fairytale world.

It is amazing that all colours go so well together - from bright pink to yellow and orange.
There were plenty of people, but I succeeded well in omitting them from my photos.
I was thrilled and let now the photos speak by themselves.

If you are interested, this LINK shows you my all posts
from Rhododendron Park Haaga.

Rhododendron Jungle - Rodoviidakossa

I was lucky to visit this stunning rhododendron and azalea jungle in June 

with two healthy feet! I have posted already about my visit, but the park is really great.

Hope you’ll enjoy some new photos of it. Links to the previous posts are at the end.

Charm & Scent of Azaleas

This is Part two of my visit to Rhododendron Park Haaga, Helsinki. The link tells widely about

this stunning park with 8 hectares dedicated to rhododendrons and azaleas.

There are mainly yellow, orange and red azaleas growing on the area.

The scent was wonderful, birds were singing, colours fascinating - I felt to be in a paradise!

Tämä on osa kaksi vierailustani Haagan Alppiruusupuistoon. 
Alppiruusuille ja azaleoille omistettu 8 hehtaarin puisto on eksoottinen ja upea näky..

Azalea-alueella kasvaa pääsääntöisesti keltaisia, oransseja ja punaisia azaleoja.

Tuoksu oli huumaava, värimaailma taivaallinen ja linnut lauloivat. Paratiisi!

Rhododenron Park Haaga is really worth visiting!

Kesäkuun alkupäivinä kukinta on yleensä parhaimmillaan - vierailu on elämys!

Happy weekend!

Floral Bliss #76

I paid a visit to Rhododendron Park Haaga, Helsinki. The link tells widely about
this stunning park with 8 hectares dedicated to rhododendrons and azaleas.
Founded in the 1970's the area has been a research garden for the University of Helsinki’s 
plant breeding programme. I.a. these varieties have found their way to the market:
‘Haaga’, ‘Helsinki University’, ‘St. Michel’, ‘P.M.A. Tigerstedt’, ‘Axel Tigerstedt’, 

‘Pekka’, ‘Eino’ and ‘Mauritz’.

Haagan Alppiruusupuisto on kerrassaan upea 8 hehtaarin puisto, 
joka on omistettu alppiruusuille ja azaleoille.
1970-luvulla perustettu puisto on toiminut Helsingin yliopiston kasvinjalostuksen koealueena 
ja sieltä myyntiin ovat päässeet mm.’Haaga’, ’Helsinki University’, ’St. Michel’, 
’P.M.A. Tigerstedt’, ’Axel Tigerstedt’, ’Pekka’, ’Eino’ ja ’Mauritz’.

St Michel / my garden 2017

The timing of my visit was not perfect. I should have gone a week ago 

but still especially azaleas looked charming and their scent was wonderful.
As to rhododendrons mainly whites were still in bloom and I suppose they were 'St. Michel'.
I did not get close enough so I added a few photos from my 'St. Michel'.

St. Michel's buds are pink, then the flower fades into white / My garden 2017

Käyntini ajoitus ei ollut paras mahdollinen. Kukinta oli huipussaan viikko sitten,
mutta silti erityisesti azaleat olivat hurmaavia ja ihanasti tuoksuvia.
Käytännössä vaion kookkaat valkoiset rhodot olivat kukassa, ja luulen että lajike on 'Mikkeli'.
Koska en päässyt riitävän lähelle, lisäsin muutaman kuvan omasta 'Mikkelistäni.

I'll save the gorgeous azaleas for another post. - Ihanat tuoksuvat azaleat jätän toiseen kertaan.
