The best month to visit the Parco delle Camelie in Locarno, Switzerland, would be April, but we never seem to manage to reach it in time to see the Camellias blooming. Fortunately there are other beautiful acidophilic plants flowering also in May and June.
The Camellia Park in Locarno was inaugurated in 2005 on the occasion of the International Camellia Society World Congress (ICS) and is home to hundreds of varieties of catalogued camellias including about forty different species. No entry fee.
Automatkalla kohti Italiaa pieni Locarnon kaupunki jää vain hieman sivuun moottoritiestä. Se sijaitsee Sveitsin italiankielisessä osassa, kauniin Maggiore-järven rannalla. Kaupungin kameliapuistossa näkisi huhtikuussa satojen ihanien kamelialajikkeiden kukkivan. Myöhemmin voi ihastella esimerkiksi atsaleoita ja hortensioita. Puistoon ei ole pääsymaksua.

This very handsome tree should be Taxodium distichum:

You've been to Locarno, Sara, great! I think it's not far from your place in Italy, is not it? Beautiful photos, I understand you need more colors looking at the window. Me too.
VastaaPoistaThanks for your comment on my blog. About a 'Cunningham's White' rhododendron. I saw it in Mustila arboretum, near Lahti, a year ago. It grows well there,so it's hardy enough -30 C. I think a 'Cunningham's White' goes well for your garden.
PoistaHello dear Sara, how gorgeous place it is! Wonderful flowers! And those trees are amazing! I love mountains... and the lakes among them, but I've never been to Switzerland... yet. :-)
VastaaPoistaYour photos are simply captivating... as always! :-)
Have a beautiful week! Hugs! ♥
What a beautiful place to visit. The wooden bench by the lake looks like a glorious place to sit and enjoy the scenery and wildlife. Your blooms and trees are spectacular!
VastaaPoistaHave a wonderful Wednesday Sara :)
Well that takes me back !!! Olin 18-vuotiaana italialais-suomalaisessa perheessä lasta hoitamassa. Kaupunkiasunto Milanossa, kesäasunto Varesessa, pienessä paesessa nimeltä Besozzo. SIeltä käytiin joskus uimassa Lago Maggioressa. 🙂Kiva kazzella tuota karttaa kun siinä on tuttuja nimiä 💚Kävin kerran päiväretkellä Sveitsin puolella Belllinzonassa. Sekin näkyy kartallasi.
VastaaPoistaIhanat kuvat. Puolisoni suosikki olisi golfkenttäkuva 😀😎
Beautiful photos, Sara! A Camellia park must be nice to visit :)
VastaaPoistaI would like to sit by the lake and just enjoy the beautiful landscape.
I wish you a nice week and a lot of sunshine!
How beautiful! Truly there is no better word to describe the blooms and location as well as your photos!
VastaaPoistaBest wishes!

VastaaPoistaLake Maggiore. We have friends, whose last name, is Maggiore. So past generations, were probably originally, from this area.
So beautiful and very soothing, dear Sara! Thank you so much for sharing, I love your photos! :)

Flowers are the magic in our lives. What a lovely and peaceful place to visit. That is an interesting tree. How strange that the trees grow in the water. We call the blue ones 'hydrangeas' here.

VastaaPoistaBeautiful Sara! I would love to sit on that park bench on the lake and just relax. I've never been there but might have to plan a trip soon. It looks absolutely gorgeous!
