These flowers are so beautiful! Very nice spotting, Jopy!

Jopy

wow, your photos are amazing! They were in bloom in Bos/Herz. when I was there...I was thrilled when saw them, they have unique flowers. Unfortunally, didn't see them in Croatia, yet!

I like it so much that I have posted it every year since I've been on Noah, and I am about to do it again :-) They are in bloom around here at the moment. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6909920 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14874014
