Melting snow on the Snowdrops at Martenstate.

This is the first report of the Calendar of the Stinzenflora-monitor in 2019. The theme this year is ‘OndersteBoven van Stinzenplanten‘. (Downside up of Stinzenplants) The table has been renewed.

There are differences between years for the optimal flowering times of these plants and therefore we created the Stinzenflora-monitor where you can see when, where what blooms. – Read More –
