We continue our walk along the sofievsky Park in Uman!

National dendrological park “Sofiyivka” is a park and research institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, located in the northern part of Uman city in Cherkassy oblast, on the banks of Kamenka River.

In this and the following articles I will write about different parts of the Park and unique plants in it.

If you are interested in posts about the park, please write a comment.

You can see the map. Our position is indicated by a red circle.

From Wikipedia:
The park accounts for over 2,000 types of trees and brush (local and exotic) among which are taxodium (marsh cypress), Weymouth Pine, tulip tree, platanus, ginkgo, and many others.

Today we will see purple magnolias. Their flowers are not fully revealed.

Let's look around. What kind of flowers are these?

This flower is periwinkle.

From Wikipedia

Periwinkle is a color in the blue and violet family. Its name is derived from the lesser periwinkle or myrtle herb (Vinca minor) which bears flowers of the same color.
The color periwinkle is also called lavender blue. The color periwinkle may be considered a pale tint of blue or a "pastel blue".

A few more plants. You can write the name of plants. Do you know these plants?

What is this yellow bush? We'll see him close next time.
