Linden Tree

I’ve always liked linden trees and linden tea. These trees are usually massive, with wide, leafy canopies. That’s why it surprised me to see a very tall rose pushing its way up and blooming right in the branches.

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.

Rose

The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is blurred in the back. Took this photo during my morning walk today.

The tourist logo of Bulgaria is a rose. We have roses everywhere. The coat of arms is 3 lions. We don’t have lions anywhere out of the zoo. I much prefer encounters with the roses. 🌹
