Orchid

A year ago, we found an orchid in the mountain. I was surprised that wild orchids exist in my country. We saw plenty this weekend from another species.

I have my doubts about the exact species. The first photo clearly shows dots on the leaves, so according to the image search, it should be the Broad-leaved Marsh Orchid. However, given that we are not in Germany, it’s more likely that we saw Dactylorhiza cordigera or Сърцевиден дланокоренник instead.

I wish I took better photos.

What snow?

It’s hard to believe that just days ago we had temperatures of around -10°C.

A whole different question is why I find more life in the bushes outside of the park than within the park where the plants are taken care of. The first photo is within the park, the second is outside.

The little blue flower is Veronica

Erica

Erica carnea, also known as Winter Heath, is already in bloom days after the snow melted. Bees were flying around. Feels like it’s time for the sun to show up and for the spring to come.

We also have the next generation of cats already growing up and refusing to pose for a photo.
