2019夏季美好回憶之一!!!!!

赫爾辛基杜鵑花公園連結https://vihreatsylit.fi/en/alppiruusupuisto/

真的是大開眼界!原本以為在紐西蘭以及日本見過夠多的杜鵑花(Rhododendron)了

不過我觀察到的是: 日本比較多的是叫做Azalea比較小朵樹型比較小棵不是像這種會長成大樹一般的Rhododendron

沒想到在這裡(芬蘭Finland)欣賞到的杜鵑花種類比我想像還要更多

色彩鮮豔豐富

地點其實算靠近市區唷

在中央車站搭火車單趟2.8歐元

下車後走路幾分鐘即到了

這公園隸屬於赫爾辛基大學

根據官網是說有3000多棵品種最早是從1975年栽種

最初的繁殖栽培計畫是想藉著這地方育種出適合Finland當地氣候的品種/雜交種

看起來很野放沒有入口大門

只有告示牌導遊林步道

以及一個很恐怖的流動廁所

連販賣部遊客中心都沒有!!!!!!真的是很北國隨興的感覺啊

而且林間充滿花香

加上芬多精

漫步其間真是天之恩賜!!

園區裡面鋪設不少像這樣的步道

很有花園樹叢花草間探險尋芳感覺

園區弄個很簡單扼要的告示牌介紹

以及花品種標示

幾個小時過去

拍到欲罷不能停

往火車站方向路上的玫瑰花也是開得超熱鬧

留戀花叢間的赫爾辛基夏日太讚了!!

Haaga Rhododendron Park

The Haaga Rhododendron Park (Finnish: Haagan Alppiruusupuisto) is a public park containing various varieties of rhododendron, located in the district of Haaga in Helsinki, Finland. Although originally used for breeding and research purposes, the park is now a popular attraction among locals.

The first rhododendrons were planted in 1975 by the University of Helsinki's selective breeding program; this included the construction of a series of wooden walkways, allowing travel by visitors without disturbing the plants.^[1][2] Originally 3000 individual specimens were planted, with the goal of breeding species to adapt to the Finnish climate.^[1] The 3000 original specimens had been selectively bred from the JapaneseRhododendron fauriei. In 1996, the park was expanded to the north with an additional 1500 azalea specimens, also originating from Japan.^[1]

Through its existence, the park has produced eight unique cultivars for commercial purposes; they're named after the park, the university, and various individuals involved with the project.^[1]

The park is a popular local attraction, particularly in the early summer, when rhododendrons flower.
