Large earth bumble bee (Bombus terrestris) on the Bulbous Corydalis at Martenastate.
The Bulbous Corydalis is still in full bloom everywhere. If you wait too long to look at this species somewhere, chances are that they have already seeded and have finished flowering. These flowers are visited by different types of bumble bees, bees and butterflies.

Only insects with a long tongue can reach the nectar of the flower and in this way get pollen on their bodies, so that when visiting other plants the desired cross-pollination can occur. The Large Earth Bumblebee cannot reach the nectar with its short tongue by crawling into the flower, but it has found a way around this problem. He bites a hole in the bottom of the flower and can reach the nectar like this. If you pay attention, the bumblebees with their white tail and two ocher rings on the black body will certainly stand out. Also you can try to discover whether there are the holes at the bottom of the flower. Bulbous Corydalis is therefore not only beautiful to see, but also of great importance for various insects.
Lords-and-Ladies in the Martenatuin (Franeker), almost flowering, between the Bulbous Corydalis.
Unfortunately, this does not apply to most types of Narcissus, which have little to offer to most insects. Nowadays people talk about the âgreen desertsâ, which means a meadow with only Ryegrass. Here is no food for our bumble bees, butterflies and bees. However, the same applies to a neat green lawn, which in this respect does not have much more to offer than a tiled garden. The new orchard at Martenastate looks great, but would it not be so much nicer if in this field between the trees the Cowslip (Primula veris) and Snakeâs head Fritillary would bloom in the spring. This combination occurs here and there in the wild in England.

Butterfly Small White in the Martenatuin (Franeker).
We can now also see more and more and different types of butterflies. The correspondent of the Martenatuin (Franeker) recorded a number of them on photo.
Wild Tulip starts to flower at Martenastate.
The Snakeâs head Frittilaries will be in bloom in the coming week. The development of the Wild tulip will continue. There are now more and more plants with flower buds above the ground. It is likely that we will see these flowers opening in the coming week.
Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem, Wild Tulip and Yellow anemone at Dekema State.
At Dekema State the Wild Tulip starts to open up.
Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem and Bulbous Corydalis at Martenastate.
It is striking that the flowering of the early Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem is richer everywhere this year than last year. This is a species that is native in the Mediterranean area. It is possible that for this plant the warm, dry summer has been positive. The combination Wild tulp with Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem is very beautiful. Until recently, the Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem was sporadically present at Martenastate. Currently more and more plants are flowering. Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem can become a nuisance in a garden. Probably because most gardens are nutrient-rich. and the regular tweeding promotes its spreading. At Martenastate it may be that the application of dredging from the pond has made the environment more favourable for the Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem.
Wood Anemones at Hackfort.
Snake’s Head Fritillaries along the brook at Hackfort. Summer Snowflakes in the background.
At Hackfort the Wood Anemones are in full bloom which gives a spectacular effect. You can now also admire the Snakeâs Head Frittilaries and Summer Snowflakes on the banks of the stream.
Flowering Bulbous Corydalis, Bird in a buh and Butterbur at the waterfront in Park Jongemastate.
The Wood Dock slowly starts to be more common in Park Jongemastate.
The Fritillaria Imperialis are in Park Jongemastate, as long as we can remember. Now in full bloom.
At Jongemastate you can also find Bulbous Corydalis and Bird in a bush in bloom. At Jongemastate both the Bird in a bush and Bulbous Corydalis are now in full bloom. The Frittilaria Imperialis are also still in full bloom.
Rich vegetation of Bulbous Corydalis along the pat at Philippusfenne. The Small Dutch Waterfowl Dog just goes around the corner.
This year more Yellow Anemone to admire at the Schierstins.
Philippusfenne has a beautiful forest lane that is lined with rich-flowering Bulbous corydalis. This lane is covered with branch shredding. This material digests slowly and this provides a good environment for the Bulbous Corydalis. The path is somewhat deepened and the wall along the path has been created over time through the application of various materials, which in turn has created a good environment for the Bulbous Corydalis. The Yellow anemone blooms there, as is the case in other areas. There is still a lot of blue to be seen in the Schierstins garden.
Next to the Lesser Glory-of-the-Snow also the blue of the Squills (Scilla siberica) can be seen at different places. Also the first ‘blue’ of the Bluebell can be discovered.
The last few weeks the blue of the Glory-of-the-Snow is magnificent at the Schierstins.
It is striking that the White Butterbur that was richly present at the Schierstins is now also decreasing. At Stinze Stiens there was also a very rich place with this plant, which has now almost completely disappeared. This plant likes shade, coolness and moisture. The warm dry summer was probably not favourable for this plant. We are curious if it will recover or if we will transplant them to a more favourable place.
