In the picturesque mountains of Upper Bavaria, Germany, a delicate beauty known as the Rosaceae family thrives. Amongst these enchanting blooms is the Alpenrose, also referred to as snow-rose or rusty-leaved alpenrose. Rhododendron ferrugineum, as it is scientifically called, graces the slopes of Mt. Kramer and Mt. Kramerspitz near Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Werdenfelser Land area. As you wander through this idyllic landscape in Europe, you may stumble upon fresh loquat fruits hanging from their branches alongside vibrant green leaves of Eriobotrya trees. The sight is a feast for both the eyes and taste buds. Plate 127 showcases another breathtaking scene - a windswept Hawthorn tree standing tall amidst flowering heather. Crataegus monogyna adds an ethereal touch to this already mesmerizing panorama. Traveling further east brings us to Bengal Thorns (Bengale Th), which captivate with their unique charm and thorny allure. These roses are truly a sight to behold. The Rosa Muscosa variety, aptly named Rosier Mousseux or Moss Rose, boasts velvety petals that exude elegance and gracefulness. Meanwhile, Rosa Centifolia or Rosier à cent feuilles displays its abundance with numerous leaves adorning each stem. Rosa Padre stands out among its counterparts with its distinct character and striking appearance while Rosa Indica Grande Indienne showcases grandeur like no other. Venturing into orchards reveals nature's generosity in gifting us Morello Cherries - plump and juicy delights that tempt our palates with their sweet-tart flavor profile. Amongst all these wonders lies Blush Provence rose - a symbol of romance and tenderness that enchants onlookers with its soft hues and delicate fragrance.
