I photographed all the Stewartia species that we have, so everyone can easily identify their own native species or even ornamental trees.
I will be adding more pictures as the years go on. I was a bit late this year with starting this project, and so I don't have flowers. These will follow next year.
We have about 100 different individuals, so I will also be uploading a broader variety in plants throughout the year(s).

I will also be adding detailed characteristics of each species, or even of each individual, so u can see the range within the same species.

Also watch out for the hybrids I will be uploading at some point. These vary vastly, and are fun to key out on your own by looking at all the characteristics I will be including.

Went to a somewhat nearby forest, and found a whole bunch of Dryopteris carthusiana, Dryopteris dilatata, Dryopteris filix-mas, Athyrium filix-femina And a couple other ones.

Also saw a deer there, I was absolutely baffled, I didn't even know they lived here. You see them alot in the East of Belgium, but in the centre was quite remarkable, to me atleast.

Just walking and listening to the birds on its own is the most relaxing feeling there is.

Was a great day, I will be going back soon.

A five day trip to Munich filled with activities, such as hiking in the Alpes.
I wasn't planning on seeing any ferns, since it wasn't a botanical trip.

It sure was a pleasant surprise hearing we were gonna visit the Alpes, as I knew there were gonna be some gorgeous ferns there. And it didn't disappoint.

Also found a couple in Munich itself.

Didn't photograph every fern, as we needed to move on, because we were in a group of 48. Still managed to get atleast one picture of every species I saw.

Beautiful place, would 100% recommend.

I don't remember where exactly I went, but the general location was Garmisch Partenkirchen.
