| Some close shots from the Halti trek...  ( flowers... ) | |
|
| What a nice summer evening it was. I started my scooter and drove to the rose garden.  ( roses... ) | |
|
|  My old cactus bloomed last night. The flower was big and it smelled strongly tempting. In the morning, I found the flower faded on the floor. The cactus is almost as old as I am. I got it from my schoolmate's mother when I was about 10-years old. It has bloomed many times before, but there have been some flowerless years between. | |
|
|  This summer has been especially good for flowers, a suitable combination of rain and sunshine. There are some old flowers blooming near my summer cottage although they have been on their own for years; lilies, roses, aquilegias... | |
|
|  My waxplant is blooming in the kitchen. It smells good! | |
|
|  I thought I have teased you enough with my Borneo stories but I'm a mean person and will continue, at least once! Today I took care of my plants and because of the pitcherplant I remembered one more thing from Borneo. The worlds biggest flower! | |
|
| I'm recovering mainly inside after the surgery. It's shining outside and the bright light still feels uncomfortable. So I have time to take care of my flowers. A small spring maintenance going on... This is my newest plant. The passionflower (I assume)  | |
|
|  Nice sunny spring days are still here. I couldn't stay inside and decided to go out after work. I tried to find a Moose near my home but you can't get it all although I wouldn't have been so surprised if I had seen one or two. I found those yellow flowers that are really common in here. It's called Leskenlehti (=Widow's Leaf). But the better finding was the other spring flower which name in English I don't know either. | |
|
|  The spring is here. The sun shines, first spring flowers bloom and birds sing. This is the best time of the year...  | |
|
|  This is a hectic time for flower shops. We have a nice habit in Finland to buy Christmas flowers and give them to your close ones (wife, mom, grandparents, friends etc.). I'm kind of involved in the business and shot some pictures today in order to give them virtually to all of you who happen to see this entry. Here you are! | |

| We have snow, we have roses - frozen roses...  | |
|
| "Oliverille kukat ovat aina olleet paitsi rakkauden, myös elämän ruokaa. Kukat joita voi katsella ja haistella, joiden kanssa voi elää niiden lyhyen elinkaaren ajan, ne ovat oma nautinnon lähteensä, loputtoman antoisa. Hän ei ymmärrä ihmisiä, jotka eivät rakasta kukkia tai pitävät niitä vain somisteina, kuten koristetyynyä tai jotain Hummelin posliinihahmoa. Hän ei ymmärrä ihmisiä, jotka pahoinpitelevät kukkia saadakseen uutetta jota sitten hierovat ihoonsa kuin sotasaalista ja jättävät jälkeensä teurastettujen kukintojen raatoja. Hän tietää että nämä ovat äärimmiäisiä, dramaattisia näkemyksiä eikä siksi puhu niistä kovin usein, mutta häntä ihmetyttää, että maailmassa jossa mielihyvä on niin vähissä, ihmiset eivät näe kukkia osana ratkaisua, eivät tajua että oppimatta jäänyt läksy niiden ihanuudesta erottaa ihmiset toisistaan, ihmiset ja maan toisistaan, ihmiset ja iankaikkisen toisistaan."
