Nature of the Botanic Garden of Batumi⬇️
We are back in the botanical garden. Today we enjoy blooming trees, plants. There is aromatherapy here, because there are a lot of plants that bloom, smell and delight the eye.
Our walk has begun and we are greeted by a beautiful flowerbed with pale blue forget-me-nots and a magnificent rosalia.
The first hit of our walk is a tree that smells delicious duchess. We didn't find the nameplate, so we don't know the name of this plant.
Mysterious Japanese maples.
An amazing plant that fills the garden with bright colors. There are 150 species in the world. This is one of the fastest growing trees, in a year the maple is able to grow by 1.5 - 2 meters. Japanese maple is listed in the Red Book.

This plant is associated primarily with red berries, but a flowering bush is no less a beautiful sight. Viburnum blooms with lush white umbrellas.
Let's take a walk along the alley of roses and enjoy the wonderful aroma and beauty. Then we pass by a strange bald tree and see an unusually beautiful plant — a Weigela bush.
Weigela
The flowering of Veigela is absolutely fantastic. It is so abundant that the bush looks more like a beautiful bouquet or huge clouds of pink, crimson, white consisting of flowers. The flowers resemble small bells

Azalea
In the east, Azalea is identified with dazzling beauty, intoxicating charm and at the same time with the poisonous cunning of a woman. Touching tragic legends are composed about Azalea.
The legend of how the Azalea bush appeared.
One day a wandering gypsy camp stopped on the territory of the great Maharaja's possession. In this camp there were two amazing girls, beautiful sisters, whose names were Aza and Leah, once the Maharajah invited gypsies to his holiday to entertain the guests. For the sake of interest, he held out his palm to Leah and asked her to predict his fate. Leah had read him into trouble. Then the Maharajah became angry and ordered the gypsies to be killed! But the sisters managed to escape. During the escape, they stumbled and fell down a steep slope. When people found the sisters under the mountain, only one of them was alive. They tried to find out her name from the girl, but she, dying, only managed to utter AzaLea. The peasants buried the sisters under the mountain, and a beautiful bush grew on the site of their grave, which people called Azalea, in memory of the lost beauty.
Japanese Garden in Batumi
In the Japanese Garden of the Botanical Garden of Batumi there is a wonderful pond in which frogs and fish live. There are also many interesting and beautiful plants here. For example, Cercis.
Cercis
Gardeners love this plant for its unusual wonderful flowering. At the end of spring, it is covered with lilac-purple small flowers collected in bunches that appear in the axils of the leaves and just on the trunk.
The flowers are very beautiful, often irregularly shaped and odorless, and by the end of summer they form long beans up to 11 cm.
The next hit of our walk is Medicinal Magnolia
Magnolia is a very ancient plant. The first magnolias grew back in the age of dinosaurs. Magnolias appeared on earth in the Cretaceous period about 140 million years ago and stand at the origins of the origin of flowering plants. Before the onset of the ice age, magnolia was also common in the forests of the middle latitudes. There were no bees yet, so the flowers of these plants are adapted to pollination with the help of beetles.
These are very rare exotic plants with an original shape of the crown and leaves, spectacular large snow-white flowers 15-20 cm in diameter. In the second half of May, after the leaves bloom, the magnolia is covered with snow-white flowers.
One of the most interesting places in the botanical garden
One of the most interesting in the botanical garden is the blooming glade, there is a cross, which was installed with the blessing of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilya II.
This cross is called the Bolnisi cross — a Georgian cross with expanding sleeves. It has been used in Georgia since the 5th century.
The cross is decorated with stone carvings depicting a vine. The vine and the Orthodox cross are inseparable in Georgia. Saint Nino made the first cross from a vine.
If you come here at sunset, you will see how everything turns almost dark red, bloody color. An unforgettable sight.
As I have already said, the cross is located in a blooming meadow. There are many flowers growing here: California Ashsholtsia, Phlox, different colors, forget-me-nots. A magical place.

Amazing Bamboo Forest
Bamboo is grass, but many of its larger species look like trees. Growing thickly, they form amazing forests. We also wandered into such a forest.
During the walk in the botanical garden, we saw many beautiful landscapes, inhaled the aromas of flowers and trees, heard the birds singing, the sea roaring, the leaves on the trees swaying. We were energized and in a good mood.
