Mainau Island (Germany), the botanic garden at Lake Constance, offers wonderful nature experiences. Thousands upon thousands of tulips are in bloom (or a bit over their best due to multiple hail showers and thunderstorm in the last weeks). It is said, they plant around 400'000 bulbs of 50 different varieties each year.
Here the tulips grow in a wild meadow, on other places there are neatly arranged in colourful flower beds, or they board the mediterranean terrace with its swan font.
Of course we also admired all those old trees in the park, the orchid exhibition and we visited the butterfly house. A great day with my Mum.
