Germany, a country with a rich history and diverse landscapes, is characterized by impressive biocultural diversity. From the dense forests of the low mountain ranges to the expansive coastlines of the north, Germany offers a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. The flora is diverse, encompassing a wealth of plant species, including deciduous and coniferous trees in the forests, as well as typical German flowers like the Edelweiss in the Alps. The fauna is also abundant, with a variety of bird species in the forests and wetlands, as well as mammals such as deer, wild boar, and foxes. German culture is closely connected to nature, and the protection and preservation of biocultural diversity play an important role in the country's environmental and conservation movements. Despite urban development and environmental pressures, conserving this diversity remains crucial for Germany's future and the well-being of its residents.
Hello, where is the nectar?🥹 The dark arches (Apamea monoglypha) belongs to the family of owlet moths. It is a very common species in most parts of Europe and Central Asia. Its caterpillars like to nibble on the roots of grasses and the moth flies around all night, attracted by the sweet scent of flowers.🌸🌛 It orientates itself using natural light sources such as the moon, but artificial light sources interfere with its navigation, which is why it sometimes gets lost in homes.
The herb-Robert (Geranium robertianum) can align its leaves perfectly with the light and can even survive in cave entrances. When the sun is very strong, its own sun protection turns its leaves red. This little flower is very well adapted to rocky ground and finds the city the perfect habitat.
Both sexes are often found on one plant, which means it can pollinate itself. It has deeply hidden nectar for insects, as it is happy about any opportunity for fertilization.🌸🐝
The fruit can shoot its seeds up to six meters away, or cling to fur and clothing like a burr.
It is considered a lucky charm and was used as a medicinal plant from early on. So it is not only a beautiful sight, but also an impressive species with outstanding properties.
In a big garden, there was a tulip, looking beautiful and proud. She stood tall among the other flowers.
But one day, she saw the clouds floating in the sky and wished she could be there too.
So, she tried to reach the sky, growing taller every day. Finally, she reached the clouds, but the wind blew her back down.
Feeling sad and tired, the tulip realized she belonged on the ground. She learned to appreciate her beauty and enjoy life on earth, while still admiring the sky from below.
What's my state of mind? 🫣 Hopefully the last selfie with this hat. Even though I have to shave my ears again, I'm looking forward to sunshine and rainbows and moths in my fur.*

*Metaphorical moths. Sloths live in symbiosis with sloth moths. That tingles!✨️🥰
Bask in the golden glow of a summer sunset, casting its warm hues over a lush rye field, with the majestic silhouette of the Altkönig "Old King" looming in the distance 🫠❤️🔥
