hortus botanicus leiden the netherlands

The Hortus Botanicus Leiden, nestled in the heart of the city, is a historical gem and a tranquil retreat. Established in 1590, it holds the distinction of being the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, with a rich collection that has grown over four centuries. Visitors can explore the Orangery from 1744, tropical greenhouses from 1938, and a winter garden from 2000, each offering a unique glimpse into the plant kingdom. The garden's commitment to education and conservation is evident through its diverse flora, including exotic species and historical plants like the old Tuliptree from 1716 and the Ginkgo from 1785. It's a place where nature's beauty is preserved and celebrated, providing a serene escape from the bustling city life.

I (Maija) had never been able to photograph a dragonfly before, until I saw two dragonflies in the VU Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam. Only after taking a few photos did I realize that they were having sex. And after a few more photos a third one flew in for a quick tryst, as well!

In de hortus staan minstens 3 kunstwerken, dit is er geen van. Daarom niet minder leuk.

"The Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanic gardens in the world. Located in the city centre of the Dutch capital, the garden is a beautiful and intimate place with an unique collection of plants. In the midst of busy city the Hortus offers an oasis of tranquillity, a flowery relief in the urban busyness."

 

The photo was taken on a windy and rainy evening. You can see the movement of the trees due to the storm.

想送好友捷克菠丹妮的香皂,不過我自己有點心虛,因為之前人家已給我好幾塊瑰柏翠。果然拿出來就被打槍。香皂太多啦。我也很不好意思,因為家裡沒像樣的東西可以餽贈。BTY我發現這次我買的菠丹妮都是比較偏男性的味道,以這塊為例,就是椰子加海藻(老天!我還不曉得海藻是什麼香味)。我喜歡菠丹妮是因為它的自然,反觀義大利的蕾莉歐,充滿矯情且煽情的味道,我在義大利旅行時經過北義眾大城連逛都不想逛進去,就算超多臺灣網友部落客都推薦Florenc必買有的沒的...我欠缺貴氣後天談吐也噴不出什麼氣,免了。
