Last week I visited Croatia and one day we were at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lokrum island, located just opposite of Dubrovnik in the Adriatic Sea. Lokrum has a Botanical Garden which is managed by the University of Dubrovnik.

Here a few impressions, all as VIS-UV diptychs

Iris croatica, the country flower:


Carpobrotus acinaciformis, seen all around the coast:


Rhaphiolepis umbellate, a decorative tree, seen a lot in parks:


Anagallis coerulea, a very pretty "weed"


and then the "stars" of the park, which were brought in from Chile years ago

[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puya_chilensis"]Puya chilensis[/url], about 2.5 meters tall flower stand:


[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puya_berteroniana"]Puya berteroniana[/url], same size, but full of these turquoise colored flowers


Here a weed,Hypochoeris radicata, seen all over on the street curbs etc.


as well as Malva sylvestris


So far for now...
