I know that creating an Album about my garden is a bit off topic. But I have two excuses:
1) It is on the southern slopes of the Mecsek Mountains
2) I tried to make it similar to a forest park. Now, apart from fruit-trees there are many species of trees:
- English oak
(Quercus robur)
- Sessile oak
(Quercus petraea)
- Northern red oak
(Quercus borealis)
- Downy Oak
(Quercus pubescens)
- Common hornbeam
(Carpinus betulus)
- Black poplar
(Populus nigra)
- Chestnut
(Castanea sativa)
- Persian walnut
(Juglans regia)
- Bird cherry
(Prunus avium)
- Field maple
(Acer campestre)
- Scots pine
(Pinus sylvestris)
- Douglas-fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesii)
- Norway spruce
(Picea abies)
- Blue spruce
(Picea pungens)
- Common Juniper
(Juniperus communis)
- Lawson's Cypress
(Chamaecyparis lawsoniana)
- Bearberry Cotoneaster
(Cotoneaster dammeri)
- Cotoneaster horizontalis
- Firethorn
(Pyracantha coccinea)
- Dog rose
(Rosa canina)
- Common blackberry
(Rubus fruticosus)
- Blackthorn
(Prunus spinosa)
- Black Elder
(Sambucus nigra)
- European cornel
(Cornus mas)
- European spindle
(Euonymus europaeus)
- Common lilac
(Syringa vulgaris)
- Trumpet vine
(Campsis radicans)
- Rose of Sharon
(Hibiscus syriacus)
- Common privet
(Ligustrum vulgare)
Besides these trees and shrubs there are many other plants and flowers. And there are 7 species of edible mushrooms, too. About the fauna: besides insects, butterflies, moths and birds also a few mammals live here or are visitors here: hedgehogs, moles, red squirrels and bats. And a few months ago I met a few wild boars in the garden, too!
Of course I love this garden!
