Just in: two new flowers (first of this year)

The very first I have seen this year of these two flowers; both photos were taken yesterday in the Aamsveen, a peat bog in the east of The Netherlands.

A marsh gentian (Gentiana pneumonanthe), klokjesgentiaan in Dutch, a rare and protected species here in The Netherlands:

Wild honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum), wilde kamperfoelie in Dutch, where the caterpillars of the white admiral live:

This is what honeysuckle flowers look like fully open (older photo):

Thanks for watching!
