Lots of old trees.

Let it be a topic for displaying / documenting very old specimens of different species. Rarely does a person have such impressive trees in his yard.

Quercus hartwissiana

Thank you for introducing us to an uncommon and beautiful oak. The Strandzha Oak (Quercus hartwissiana) is in the White Oak Group (Subgenus Quercus, Section Quercus), and native to parts of Bulgaria, Anatolia and the Caucasus.

Let me return the favour. This the California Valley Oak (Quercus lobata), also in the the White Oak Group. It is endemic to the state of California. One individual, the Henley Oak (pictured) in Covelo, Round Valley, Mendocino Co. measures 153 feet (46.6 m) in height, making it the tallest living oak in the United States, possibly the world.

Impressive, thanks for sharing this.

In the area "Chinarite" grows the thickest tree in Bulgaria - Platanus, which is more than 1100 years old and has a trunk circumference of 13.7 meters.

Thanks for those pictures they're lovely.

I don't know exactly what kind of tree it is and I don't know how old it is, but it will be many. And some spring flowers nearby.

What lovely wildflowers Corydalis and Viola. That white and pale pink Corydalis reminds me of Corydalis solida 'Beth Evans' which is currently blooming in my garden, though the latter is much deeper pink in colour.

Yes, they are very beautiful. One flower is Viola odorata, the others I didn't know what they were called.
