Alex SchroederSo, about the United St—you know what, fuck this. We are in Locarno because of the camellias and we have already seen a few.
#camellia (mostly camellia japonica, I guess) at the cammelia parc in Locarno. Free entry. 😍
This post has six pictures.
Today we went on a walk from Someo down to Maggia. The river drains about a third of the canton’s area and almost all of it is steep mountains. On a plaque I read today that during the big flood of 1978 the water level rose by 11 m.
In the old days, people used to build houses and barns using stone, including the use of stones for the roof. These days, people renovate them and add solar panels, heating, running water and all that.
We saw lots of Anemone nemorosa, Viola odorata, Hepatica nobilis but also some that I hadn’t seen this year, Oxalis acetocella, and one I haven’t seen before, ever, I guess: Arabidopsis halleri
