Wonderful plants, as usual.

Same procedure as every year. Same place, same time, same drinks. . .

Indeed?
Why do not fly to Cologne and visit the most beautiful,
largest and most impressive cacti and succulents collection of the known universe?

Then we drive together to Belgium and you fly back from there.

Good evening dear plant friends,

a few photos of buds and flowers - 1.May 2018.

But a big bonus track - I finally made it. . .

I have never ridden the suspension railway in Wuppertal. . .

In the year of my 60th birthday, I finally have to change that. . .

Amazing work of engineering, for the time!

I still have some pictures;
e.g. from a crossover !!!, work platforms over the Wupper or wonderful 50s architecture in the station.

Not today, but in the next few days I will show some photos.
