So there’s this little botanical garden in the North of my city. It is quite pretty and they make an effort to make it look all natural, what I especially appreciate. On the sunny days in March I went there to take pictures. I’ve posted some already in Ambassadors of Spring and Withered Structures. Here I just put together some of the other images that I liked best.
Blue anemones are some of my favourites in spring, they are so delicate and somehow magical. I like how the light shines through the petals and the flowers seem to hover above the grass.
Hyacinths are royal guests in gardens during springtime. They have oppulent flowers in various bright colours and shades, and their fragrance is all over the place. They are definitely the eye catchers. Above I love how the pictures turned out showing the contrasts between the white soft flowers in the back and the rough black rock in the front that looks like the surface of an asteroid. I put two versions next to each other with different focal points. Personally, I prefer the one with the rock in focus. The third picture highlites the contrast between the dark purple and white flowers, also in and out of focus.
Siberian squills (Scilla siberica) are little cousins of hyacinths and can cover whole meadows in spring turning them into mystical bright blue carpets. Here I focus on fragile single plants that contrast against the rough or plain (back)ground.
Below you’ll find the location of this beautiful little piece of land in Braunschweig.
