Magnolia forever...

I think I am a Magnolia addict. Just cannot get enough seeing them and photographing them. This one I found in one of those Schrebergärten in Munich and her smell was incredible intense. I talked to the owner but she was not even aware of that smell...


"Magnolia x" (Magnoliaceae)

Rosa Canina

These are simple blossoms but despite their simplicity they are beautiful and graceful and their smell is just lovely. They are growing everywhere but hardly anyone seems to notice them...

Wildrose, Hundsrose

Some more unknown Blossoms...

Here are two unknown blossom trees/bushes - could anyone help what this is?
The blossoms look so delicate and beautiful....

Rhododendron Time...

I love the blossoms of Rhododendron. Their colours are so intense and when they grow into real forests such as in southern England it just looks awsome.

Tulips in Fire...

If you would like to see more of these tulips in fire you need to go to my photography website - please click here

Columbines in Pink

Columbines do exist in many different colours and shapes - here are some in pink...

"Aquilegia vulgaris"

Akelei - Columbine

You have no idea how difficult it is to photograph the Columbine which is a European native plant. The face of this flower is always showing downwards so you have to bend and look upwards to see their beautiful delicate little faces....
