Spring is in the Air

Spring has finally arrived in our parts, birds are singing in the mornings, trees are unfolding their leaves, flowers are emerging from their underground dormant states. Our Kurpark is full of blooming magnolias!

                                           Magnolia x soulangeana


                                               Magnolia stellata

                                    Fresh rolled up hosta are coming out of the ground and unfolding their graphic leaves.
                                    I like them best in black and white.                                            


                                            Tiny Elfenblumen in my garden (Epimedium pinnatum ssp colchicum)

This winter was so mild, that our bougainvilleas survived with leaves and we even have our first tiny blossom ! In this part of the world, the mediterranean bougainvilleas usually don't survive the winter or - if they survive in a glass house - they usually don't show colour before July or August.


  and the Nilgänse in Bad Homburg's Kurpark have seven new family members!
