| 07.03.2008 - Honouring the work of all the contributors to Wikipedia, each species page of Flora.cyberia now features a direct link to the appropriate Wikipedia page (if such a page is present). |
| 16.03.2006 - Added some specied from southern Portugal. |
26.09.2005 - Now autumn are closing in on us, with it's cool air and pale blue sky. There are still some flowering plants around, but soon they will all be gone. Still, we have the photos from a past summer to give some warmth in the cold and barren season to come: today I've added a buckload of new species that are quite common in southern Sweden.
Several of them, like Arabidopsis thaliana, Erophila verna and Corydalis pumila flower in early spring, whereas Digitalis purpurea, Calystegia pulchra and Sedum reflexum come to bloom later on.
Hope you will enjoy them! See all in the recent additions. |

24.08.2005 - Pancratium maritimum is certainly one of the most beautiful and exotic species of Europe. The long, shining white petals give the flowers an exotic look, more like a tropical species. Obviously, there is a close relationship with the Spider lilies (Hymenocallis) of North America.
Pancratium flowers on sandy beaches throughout the Mediterranean, and as far north as Bretagne, in late summer, when almost everything else is dry and barren.
With this species, a new country is introduced at Flora.cyberia: Portugal. |
|
|
01.07.2005 - There are many new photos awaiting to be published on Flora.cyberia, but since I leave for a trip to Portugal in a few days, you have to be patient some time yet.
As a small compensation, I've added some new Zoom pictures: Linaria repens, Lonicera periclymenum, Rosa dumalis, Sedum acre and Tragopogon pratensis. |
27.04.2005 - There is not much happening at Flora.cyberia for the moment. This is
because me and my family are moving from Wiesbaden / Germany to Karlskrona / Sweden. As soon as we have set up our things and
organized a reasonably fast internet connection, I will publish more new pictures.
It's springtime in south eastern Sweden, and after a relatively long and cold winter, there are flowers and grasses coming up everywhere. :-) |
 |
19.01.2005 - First new plants of this year are some interesting species from the beautiful volcanic island of Lanzarote. There are serveral species endemic to the Canary Islands, and even to Lanzarote, like Polycarpaea robusta (to the left), but also some more widespread species, like Reichardia tingitana. |
|
06.12.2004 - Added a new section Zoom Pictures, where you can zoom into some high resolution plant pictures, to better see the details. Currently, there are only four species (Adonis vernalis, Mesembryanthemum cristallinum, Orchis conica and Verbascum nigrum), but if there is further interest, this section will be expanded.
Requires Flash. |
| 13.10.2004 - Added another four german species, still flowering in the beginning of october. See them here. |
 |
24.09.2004 - So, now it's been almost two months since the last time Flora.cyberia presented new photos. This time there are some more species from Småland (Sweden), including the beautiful Narthecium ossifragum. |
|
28.07.2004 - Added another eleven plant species.
With these species, another 5 families (Alismataceae, Amaryllidaceae, Selaginellaceae, Onagraceae, Verbeanceae) are represented at Flora.cyberia.
And I'm also very happy to announce that the country of France now also is represented with it's first species at Flora.cyberia: the fern Phyllitis scolopendrium.
I've just started scanning some of my slides from Provence, southern France, and will publish these pictures as soon as possible - so, if you find the time, check back for more french specialities ;-). |
|
14.07.2004 - Added a handful of older pictures, from scanned slides. The quality is therefore not extraordinary good, but there are some interesting species among them, like Dictamnus albus and Trapa natans (the only Flora.cyberia plant photographed in cultivation).
See them all in the recent additions. |
|
08.08.2004 - So, the curtain was just drawn from the section of unidentified plant species. There species are shown, that I have not been able to identify myself. If you can identify any of them, please let me know.
For the moment there are a handful species from Andalucia, Spain, for you to have a closer look upon. |
| 08.08.2004 - Finally, there is not only Vanessa cardui all alone in the butterflies section, but two new species, Hesperia comma and Lycaena phlaeas. |
07.07.2004 - Added some common species from Wiesbaden.
Flora.cyberia is now with 590 photos coming very close to the 600th picture. Worth celebrating, isn't it? ;-) |
| 19.05.2004 - Removed the message board. It was
only collecting junk anyway. |
| |
| 14.02.2004 - First additions in the year
2004: Serveral new species from Småland and Öland (Sweden).
See them all here. |
31.10 - The Flora
Europaea query links are back! Now you can once more check the taxonomic
status and geographical distribution of
each species with a single click. On each species page, just look
for the link reading "Flora
Europaea query", which opens in a separate window.
It's as simple as that. |
29.09 - Right
now, Colchicum
autumnale and Reynoutria
japonica are flowering in Central Europe, marking the end of
the flowering season. Autumn is at hand.
But Flora.cyberia won't stop publish new photos because of this.
There are still a load of photos from southern Sweden coming, and
in the slides archive a lot of pictures are still waiting to be digitalized.
There are especially many slides from southern France, from the beautiful
region of Provence. So check back soon ;-). |
|
 |
05.09 - On
a hot summers day in july I climbed the the mountain Großer
Widderstein in the Alps of western Austria. Today the
photographs are published, including the beautiful Gentiana
purpurea. You find all of them here. |
|
 |
01.09 - Added
20 species from the meadows of the mountain-range of Fellhorn-Schlappholt
in the south german Alps.
Some species where already published in the South
Tirol section, but the new pictures are of better quality. |
|
 |
30.07 - Flora.cyberia
has now a new section showing butterflies.
Not much to see there yet, but this section will grow along
with the rest of the site. Have
a look.
Hope you find the pictures enjoyable :-). |
|
22.07
- Have just returned from a trip to the northern Alps. Will asap publish
series of new photos from such interesting genera as Saxifraga,
Gentiana, Aconitum,
Achillea, and
so on.
So be sure to check back soon. |
|
05.07
- Thanks a bunch to Bert Blok,
sending me a complete list of the dutch flora. All dutch names in
Flora.cyberia are accordingly from this list.
Bert also has a nicely done website focusing on the flora and vegetation
of the Netherlands, including many photos and descriptions. Why
not pay
a visit? |
| 03.07
- Added some mainly urban species like Coronilla
varia and Diplotaxis
tenuifolia. See the recent
additions for details. |
| 07.06
- Added some meadow species from Wiesbaden
and Mainz. |
 |
26.04
- Alpine spring: See the new photos from the woodlands of the
valley of Oberstdorf
(Germany) and the subalpine meadows of Kleinwalsertal
(Austria). |
|
|
|
| 09.04 -
Looked through the archive with photos from South
Tirol the other day, and found several new species, and some better
photos of the already published species. See the recent
additions. |
|
|
| 23.03 -
Since this start page has been growing a lot during the past year,
I've decided to put the families and
the countries and sites on their own
pages, and at the same time introduce a left hand side navigation.
Hope you find Flora.cyberia as easy to use as always - or perhaps
even easier ;-). |
 |
16.03
- The first photos from Andalucia,
Southern Spain, are now online.
More photos are coming soon, including several Ophrys
species, so be sure to check back. |
|
| 23.02 -
Since the Flora Europaea database has moved (or better: disappeared),
all the species query links had to be removed. Sorry about this. |
