April showers bring, well, spring flowers!

(Technically it's not May yet, but as I've said before, there are already plenty of flowers around.)

I stayed at home most of the day and worked on my room (straightening up, etc.) and on my illustrations for my book class.  Indra and I hung out and talked while we were doing things.  Today is Ostermontag (Easter Monday), which is a holiday for everyone as well, so we didn't have to go anywhere.

We did have a mild thunderstorm during the late afternoon though, and I took a walk in the Stadtpark after it was done.  I got lots of flower photos!  So now you can finally have an idea of the beautiful blooms I've been seeing.

Mom and Dad, do you recognize any of these?  I know some are fruit trees, and of course there are tulips and daisies and things like that, but a few were unfamiliar to me.

Here you go: A taste of spring in northern Germany!

    dogwood or apple, ?, ?, cherry tree?, daffodils, really awesome unknown flowering trees - could be Magnolia, white rhododendron, pink rhododendron, really pretty green trees, pink rhododendron, fritillaria (yellow) and tulips (red). Maybe you should ask a German - someone is bound to know!
