Compiled by C.H.C.A. van Sypesteyn (1857 - 1937), a valuable art collection forms the foundation of the Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. In addition to the collection of portraits, furniture, silver and glass objects, clocks and sculptures, there is also a beautiful collection of porcelain. The Loosdrecht porcelain is particularly worth seeing.
The castle gardens
A garden with hedges, moats and decorative wrought-iron gates characterize Sypesteyn Castle. Via paths and bridges, you can walk around the maze and cross the canal and take a leisurely stroll through the orchards, the park and the castle garden. You will discover all sorts of indigenous and exotic trees during your stroll.
Tribute to Van Sypesteyn
The lord of the castle did not build it merely as a place to house his art collection. As the last descendant of the Van Sypesteyn line, he wanted to build the castle to pay tribute to his family. The stunning garden and park were built in the 17th-century style. Surrounded by the Loosdrecht lakes and the Vecht River, the area around the castle is also magnificent.

This song sparrow is resting in a redosier dogwood shrub. These wonderful bushes grow naturally in the wet barrens here at Chipera Prairie, but do just as well when planted in the front lawn for decorative purposes.

Sunset rays glinting on the decorative tops of the vertical bars of an old gate. Spotted in my local suburb.
The River Ness flows from Loch Ness through Inverness. There are lovely walking trails by the river and on the islands. This view shows some of the historic stone buildings with a tower, many arches and some bow windows.
A shot taken out of a very old book. Published 1832 and purchased at a flea market. Merely decorative they are. The book is called "Chronicles of the Cannongate" by Sir Walter Scott. The Fair Maid of Perth.
My Flickr is crap! This is just so lovely flickr. So nice

В 1615 году живший в Мексике испанский врач Ф. Хернандец впервые описал георгины. В его трудах они носили местное название "акокотля". Описание сопровождалось рисунками простой и полумахровой георгины. В 1787 году директор Мадридского ботанического сада А. Каванилла из семян, присланных ему из Мексики, получил цветочные растения, которые он назвал Далия (Dahlia) в память шведского ботаника А. Даля, ученика К, Линнея. Из Испании георгины попали в Англию (1798 г.), во Францию (1800 г.) и одновременно в Германию. В 1803 году немецкий ботаник Карл Людвиг Вильденов назвал мексиканское растение "акокотля" по-новому — Георгина (Georgina) в честь своего друга, петербургского ботаника Иоганна Готлиба Георги.

It is no coincidence that this incredibly beautiful, fragrant and useful plant is called a wild rose. A close relative of the most beautiful flower on earth, the rose hip also has thorns, but is also rich in vitamin C and other useful microelements.
The name “rose hips” is used for wild or unmodified rose species. In Russia today there are up to 100 species of rose hips, and not all of them are equally useful, so some of them are used for decorative purposes. Under natural conditions, wild roses grow on mountain slopes, in river valleys, and in fields there are several dozen varieties of the plant. Unpretentious and cold-resistant ornamental rose hips can often be seen as hedges in country houses. Certain types of wild rose are used to make jam, jam and candied fruits.
The healing properties of rose hips have been known since ancient times. Almost all parts of rose hips are used for medicinal and preventive purposes, but the fruits are considered the most useful. This is explained by the high content of vitamin C in them; its concentration here is higher than in black currants and lemon. Wild rose fruits also boast a variety of biologically active substances.
The most popular among medicinal types of rose hips is traditionally considered to be May rose hips. The fruits of needle, Dahur, Kokand, small-flowered rose hips and some other plant species are also used for medicinal purposes.
