Garden Inspiration, Uppsala Botanical Gardens in May

Last Blog was about the fantastic Peonies that are in full bloom in Uppsalas Botanical Garden.

Uppsala is the Capital of my region Uppland and I feel grateful for the Smörgåsbord of inspiration that is served there.

The Botanical gardens are spread out just below the City Castle built by King Gustaf Wasa 1549

In the Baroque gardens below the Castle are the Linnéum Orangerie, named after the famous citizen Professor Carl von Linné

In the Parterres here can You find the Roses and the Peonies I shared a few days ago

Today I will share other flowers from the garden, Enjoy:

The Tropical Green houses are another fantastic place to stroll and enjoy the beauty

Thank You for joining me for a stroll in the gardens, Hope You enjoyed my photos as much as I did taking them, Per!

Garden Inspiration: The Sakura Matsuri Festival in The Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Next weekend (April 26-27) it's time for the fun Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom) Festival at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden!

If You're in New York or the vicinity, take yourself there and enjoy what nature offers.

Follow this link and You can see exact what tree is in bloom and at what state: CHERRY BLOSSOMS, seems like the "Cherry Esplanade" is a little bit late this year, that's where everybody have their picnics.

The Sakura Matsuri in Brooklyn isn't really the Japanese quiet "enjoying the cherry blossoms falling on your head style", here it's full on with a lot of performances, both traditional and newer Manga style, a big happening :)

There is also other blooming going on, Tulips, Magnolias and a great Ikebana exhibit well worth visiting!

So without further do, here are my photos from a few years ago, Enjoy:

Hope You all enjoyed this little photo tour, have a great week!

Warmest Wishes, Per!
