Winter sculpture

Touched by Flowers
A sculpture in the park in Tungelsta. Rörd av blommor. Made by Klara Kristalova. The name of the park is Tungelsta trädgårdspark. The garden park. Named so because of the many greenhouse nurseries that made Tungelsta at least a little famous back in the day. There have been more than 100 family owned and operated greenhouse nurseries here. The first one opened 115 years ago, by my great-grandparents, btw. It was called Bergdalens Handelsträdgård. It is still here today, but under a different name and with a new owner.

A good bit of snow has fallen.

The snow is adding its touch.

You have a long history in that area.
My great-greatgrandparents farm in Skane is still in the family.

I can see in the photograph a kind of green sculpture, made in a kind of metal, representing a flowered plant. Is a very interesting sculpture. But the ice dont made possible the observation of more. The sculpture seems very well done, with a lot of details in the surface. A very good photograph. And the others, because your article Connect with others photographs are very nice too.

Have you ever posted a photo of the current greenhouse that originated with your great- grandparents? I don't recall it if you did, but if you did, maybe you could add a reference to it?

Several photos from Bergdalen/Blomorado Judith. Here is one post with a photo snapped from the hillside overlooking the greenhouses. Quite old, from 2006.
