Lovely weather for a walk in the forest and enjoying the spring colours. A blue-purple carpet of flowers is gradually appearing in the forest. At least on the plateaus. The flanks of the valleys where only bluebells grow remain green, covered by their countless long narrow leaves. The wood anemones with their white, sometimes pink, star-shaped flowers continue to steal the show on sunny days. Young leaves emerge from the buds of the oaks. And young, fresh green, still transparent beech leaves on the smaller beeches contribute to the play of colours above the flowery forest floor. Compared to last year, the flowering of the wild bluebells is slower. Their leaves and flower stem grow by filling their cells with water. And this is much less available at this time than last year due to the long dry period this year. But according to the weather forecast, some rain is coming in the coming days. Not only the bluebells need that. Hopefully there will be a few more sunny days in the coming two weeks. The fairytale time with a purple-blue wavy carpet of flowers in the forest has yet to begin.
