The swedish botanist Carl von Linné was born on this day 300 years ago. Today known as the father of modern taxonomy. To celebrate that I give you this mosaic created with some of my flickr flower photos from around Haninge. At UppsalaUniversity where Linné was a professor, they celebrate in style with a visit by The Japanese Emperor and swedish royals. Some of the celebrations can be seen here.

Good composition and a great initiative bringing the local flowers into the limelight. So #4 is a Fibonacci Spiral? I was wondering at Sofiero Castle some weeks ago but I haven’t got a clue about flowers. Thanks.
I love flowers and your photo to day reminds me when I went to florist and by see the picture I can choose the seed according to the flower i plan to plant
