Postcards #6: Lund University's Botanical Garden, Sweden


First of all: A big thank you hug to you all! Your lovely comments and birthday greetings made me very happy! ♥






And now we continue our journey... I'm almost certain that you will not be surprised to hear that also the Botanical Garden of the University of Lund, in Southern Sweden, not far from Malmö, was a lovely place. :)

There's no admission fee, the Botanical Garden is open for visitors from the early morning until evening and sometimes also guided tours in English are organized. This is a place for relaxing walks, alone or in a good company. There were many people with picnic baskets or books or just sitting and enjoying a pleasant day. The day, actually, was warm and hazy, not the best for taking photos. I'd love to see the garden on a bright spring morning or on a crisp autumn evening or when the first snow falls!

It was difficult to pick only ten photos (the maximum number of photos for each post, decided by me).  There was so much to see, 19th century villas, beautiful greenhouses, and big, old trees...


















... lovely roses, flower beds of all colours and many favourite plants of mine...






















As you can see in some of the photos, in Sweden it was still cloudy, but as we gradually made our way towards Central Europe, the weather changed to sunny and warm... :)

  6. Well, cloudy is good for better photos but I had to scroll back to see the sky as I was mesmerized by all the flowers. The lupins are amazing, so healthy looking and all the flower beds are well designed.
    It has been so nice to see all the gardens from your trip Sara and I had to smile when I read your 10 photo limit - admirable and something I wish others would consider at times. :-)

  11. Wonderful colored flower beds, Sara. Interestingly that lupines are in bloom till August. They look as towers between leaves.

  15. Beautiful gardens. All of the plants look so fresh and pretty. I think I like the snap dragons the most. We don't see them much; though I do have some come up volunteer every year.
