Panu, it is always interesting to see the landscapes of the homelands of our Forumists and to learn what plants grow naturally there or what plants the Forumists are trying to grow there.... aalways something new to learn, eh? !  8)

Exactly, Maggi. The diversity of plants isn´t that great here, but I don´t complain. Well, actually sometimes I do :).

Terve tällä forumilla Panu :)

Lovely to see images from the Finnish coast.  When travelling to or from Lapland (including beautiful Halti ;D) unfortunately I never stopped to explore the Oulu area so look forward to seeing more of your pictures & learning about the local flora 8)

Thank you Ashley, you have learned some Finnish. We don´t have any endemic plant species occuring only in Finland and just few endemics in Bothnia region (Finland and Sweden). However, we have here a group of species called "Primula sibirica group", existing also at the White Sea area.

Primula nutans var. jokelae and shores of Bothnian Bay.

A wonderful introduction, Panu, to your view of Finland with a taste of your beautiful landscapes, a reserve which will be very interesting to explore and a great photo of Primula nutans var. jokelae - thank you  :)

Have you ever thought to grow bryophytes in your garden? Who wouldn´t like to have something like this? :D

... you have learned some Finnish.

Vain vähän, mutta valitettavasti on vaikea Irlannissa harjoitella suomea!   Not easy to practise it in Ireland unfortunately!

That's a nice primula, and such a fine colony.  Are those loosestrife, one of the vetches & valerian in your other pictures?

No comment, biting my tongue here...  ;D

Very lovely Primula's and I like the Woodsia ilvensis... One of my following travels will most certainly be to one of the Scandinavian countries.

So far Finland for me only meant Nightwish, Lordi and Korpiklaani.
Thanks for bringing a new light onto your country.

That's not metal, Maggi!

Nightwish = Rock Opera
Lordi - Granprix winner = must be Chanson  ;D
Korpiklaani = Folk
