New visions for Spring

«  Ô Ladybug, what are you doing here? The redness of you shell makes it like a snowflake foreshadowing the spring. But it is yet to come! My dear, how can you cope with the coldness? Is the sun enough? Is the sage’s softness enough? 
Evening may come, frost may have its way, but we’ll meet again, my dear ladybug,
Enjoying together the warmth of the sun. » by Ulysse

Pollination

A beautiful purple crocus of the botanical garden is being pollinated by a little bee in the middle of winter, in February. Besides, we can even see some shiny sparkles on the abdomen of this little bee. Text and photo by Yann.

Dandelion

In this little garden, plants are growing and exploding with their splendid colors. But one of them hasn’t hesited to impose its law. He seems quite asleep even if he governs the box. Royal, arrogant and a bit snobbish, the dandelion was perfectly at his place, alone in its box! – Text and picture by Mathilde G

We could feel it coming. We knew it would happen. We just didn’t know when. We thought we should prepare, though. Lots of hands made the work much much easier and fun.
