My favorite visit on the market to fill up our cheese stock every Friday. (Header not so long
ago, the municipality planted bee ribbons everywhere along the edges of green spaces. Unfortunately, I haven't seen them this year.)

Into the woods
Thanks to the warm weather and abundant rains, the greenery is literally popping at the seams in the Almere woods. Unfortunately, it also means a large increase in the giant hogweed that just won't go away.

Seen in Almere
Behind this sign (called dyeing plants field) there are plants that provide colours for dyeing fabrics.
Luckily there are also signs that indicate the colour of each plant. (not here)
In front of it there is a row of poles with the colours that the plants behind them produce but the wool sheaths at the top have lost their colour since the 2 years they've been in wind and weather. One for Our World Tuesday here.

Sign of changing times
Subtropical plants in a flowerbed in public space. And that in the Netherlands. There is clearly no longer any expectation of harsh winters. For me a first. One for Signs2 here.

Bees ribbon
Everywhere in Almere you will find these strips for attracting bees and other insects. Well I hope to see a real bee soon.The few minutes I was looking didn't see one.

At the edge of the Netherlands.
The North Sea at the Maasvlakte, a man made piece of land from 60 km², as an extension of the ports of Rotterdam. One for Skywatch Friday here.

A sign on the wall
Certainly to save the insects, the municipality now has some pieces of grass no longer mowed. Hope it helps.

Bamboo removal
After 40 years we decided to remove the bamboo in the back of the garden.
It's a real hercules task to remove the roots and it's going to take some time. One for Our World Tuesday here.

Human inventiveness
You want a plant on the window sill, but you miss a pot. Then you just grab the construction helmet of your husband. A sign to think out of the box. One for Signs, Signs here.

For a small home.
If you want to suggest a lot of plants but you have only place for one perhaps this is the solution then.
One for weekend reflections here.

Greenhouses
This is one of the results of a visit to our local flower and vegetable growers.
Every year they open their greenhouses one weekend for the public.
Their orchids and roses are very famous.
And when we got a change to take some with us we did it. One for our world tuesday here.

White water surface.
A strange phenomena. Waterplants are in blossom and not the normal ones. Looks like common water crowfood.
The effect is stunning. Never saw this before. Must be the mild winter and nice weather now.
