As always I look arround for flowers, plants and trees, not only on vacation. But I found a few gems on holiday,

Evening primrose or oenothera macrocarpa in a lovely sunny color

Deer hay or hypericum with soft pink buds.

I loved this malva with the dark purple veins

A wild rose along the road

A dark leaved elderberry wit pink flowers, what a beauty !!

Orange is the national colour in the Netherlands, so you see it everywhere and in everything, even in cakes, ice cream, fountains with orange coloured water, clothes…..you name it, they got it in ORANGE

We saw lots of wild orchids, but only this soft purple one but there were many of them.

This is the pretty flower of the hogweed plant (heracleum montegazzianum) but beware, it is dangerous, if you touch it you can get painful blisters.

This is a small hogweed plant, they can really get to 2 meters high and they come in huge numbers at the same place, it is a relative of the parsley herb.

I don’t know how this plant is called but it was about 3 meters tall and we saw it in many places, against that blue sky it was a adorable !

Thanks for visiting and take care. Enjoy all the flowers and plants in your neighbourhood !
