Honeybee approaching the flower of a common pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris), Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany Hooray, Lenz is here!.  Beginning of spring We welcome the beginning of spring with this wonderful picture of a honeybee approaching the bloom of an ordinary pasque flower.  The flower, which is widespread in Western and Central Europe, is one of the early bloomers and shows its flowers from March to May.  At the beginning of the flowering period, the plants are often in an attractive contrast to the garden, which still looks wintery. Unfortunately, the population of the common pasque flower is considered endangered.  In many German states it is threatened with extinction, in some regions such as Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen it is already extinct.  As colorful and tempting as the flower looks, people should keep their distance, because all parts of the plant in the common pasque flower are very poisonous.

A crystal of real signal snowflake This is the real image of nature, not the figment of our imagination. Today is the world's first artificial snowflake day. It  was Dr. Ukichiro Nakatani, a Japanese scientist who became successful in forming first artificial snowflake. He  not only made artificial snow, but also noted the famous saying "Snow is a letter sent from heaven".  Dr. Nakatani  is also known as the pioneer of snow crystals and the author of scientific essays. The shape of the snow crystal changes depending on the temperature and humidity, so observing the shape can tell you the weather above.  It is said that there are no identical snow crystals, but they are basically hexagonal.  Its shape is derived from the form of bonding of water molecules.
