Botanical garden flower photos

In the botanical garden on 25 April 2014, there was not just the prehistoric plants exhibition. Also many living plants, like this cow parsley.

It attracted a ladybug. A pine ladybird. This species was named by famous naturalist Linnaeus in 1758. Linnaeus had visited this botanical garden. I don’t know whether this beetle species already lived there then; and if so, whether it then was the inspiration for Linnaeus naming it.

Among the next flowers were grape hyacinths, originally from Turkey.

Two ring-necked parakeets fly past, calling.

Chiffchaff, greenfinch and chaffinch sing.

Many daisy flowers.

And other flowers.

Like bluebells; not all of them blue.

A great tit.

A grey heron on the bank of the carp pond.

Where the brook flows into the pond, both a big carp and many still very small tadpoles feeding on algae.

Many Indian rhubarb flowering plants.

Some of these flowers were basically finished.

Stay tuned for another botanical garden blog post later!
