Flowers

Here we will collect images of some of the flowers we have seen on our hikes.

You are welcome to help us finding the right names. For instance sometimes it can be hard to find the correct names in English as this is not our main language so we are very happy for any kind of help with this. Our main language is Swedish so we have include these names as well.

This section will collect both common things that you can see and also some more rare things. Mostly to give you an idea of the nature we have been walking in.
