Photographing this blossom from a very short distance can be a challenge - especially as the wind is unpredictable. The scent of the blossoms is sometimes so strong that you begin to feel a certain dizziness. The shadows that are created looking towards the light are full of mysteries. These blossoms just put a spell on you...
"Magnolia x" (Magnoliaceae)Now this year's Magnolia blooming was not the best. The late and long frost killed most of the buds, leaving only the inner part of the blossom okay but the outer petals were brown. What a loss as the tree's blooming does not last very long anyway. But the photos of last year show how it can be:
"Magnolia x"(Magnoliaceae)Now do these look unearthly or not???
Those are tulips you can see everywhere here - so these flowers are nothing special - or? But they are! This red colour cannot be topped and when the sun is out between the clouds it is just incredible how they glow - even my camera had problems not to overdraw the contrasts and then this lovely green as a background - adds to a perfect play...
"Tulipa" (Liliaceae)In Munich there are a couple of streets in residential areas which are looking like these - it's a feast for the eyes - simply unbelievable in their beauty. The only disadvantage is that it last only for a few days...
This very old tree I discovered in front of an old house - the most beautiful pink blossom cherry tree in Munich I think...
I really cannot identify what this is. This bush can grow into real trees but more often you see the smaller version. It can be seen everywhere here around Munich and it looks completely different than the other cherry trees. The blossoms are more delicate and the petals have a longish form and the leaves are quite red but still they seem to belong to the cherry family...
unknownI have seen many many beautiful white cherry trees and can still get not enough. But this one was the most beautiful one I have seen this year in a big old garden. It was so full of blossoms that the branches hardly seem to be able to hold on to the masses...
Even in the "wilderness" the trees are covered in blossoms - wherever you look you see huge blotches of mainly whites - not as cultivated as in the garden but nevertheless beautiful...
And in the garden each tree tried to show its most perfect dress even if the single blossoms do not look spectacular - the magnificence lies in the abundance...
