The plants in the local trial garden are very informative: common name, Latin name, description, light and soil requirements, origin, and family.

The enemy may be listening but we don’t care!
That’s the last picture on my SD card in February. It’s an sign from WWII and the equivalent of English posters of the time: “Careless talk costs lives” or “Loose lips sink ships”. We’d been on a run for Leap Year with some friends (the last one we did four years ago, wouldn’t you know?) and were caught in a thunderstorm. We took refuge in a local pub where we had food and drink to recuperate. This replica sign caught my attention when we left the pub.
To prove that I am not making this up, I’ll gladly share the second to last photo for February:

Granny Smith Apple – Falafel
It’s not really the falafel that’s granny smith green. But this sign has me wondering: What’s the significance of the number? Vegetarian falafel since 1818!?!

Come blow your horn
No, I’m not Frank Sinatra but feel free to take your pick. The choice of horns is yours:
The sign of the hotel “Adler-Post” in Schwetzingen.
Less ornate but rich in contrast, the restaurant “Post” in Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
A mural in Bensheim – night watchmen carried a lamp, a hellbarde, and a horn.
Passing on the knowledge to the next generation.
A magnificent set of horns on this he-goat.
And a more whimsical set of horns on this cow,
A horned theme for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge. More horny photos can be found here.
How to use the forest
It is forbidden to: start and maintain an open fire, not even for barbecuing; to smoke (from beginning of March to end of October); to camp; to leave garbage behind; to use motorised vehicles on the paths without permit. Transgressions will be prosecuted and carry fines of up to 10,000 German Marks.
One Word Picture Challenge asked for manual. Some forests, apparently, come with a manual. Other interpretations of the word can be found here.
“I’ll have some water, thanks.”
I checked the dictionary where “vorglühen” is variously translated as pre-gaming, pre-drinking, pre-partying. However, this sign would have the opposite effect on me.
One Word Sunday asked for abstinence. More photos related to the concept are here.
Come on and let’s play II
The proverbial boys’ toy that fathers buy for their sons and end up playing themselves. I wonder if that still is the case?
A tree, a hammock, a child – a threesome spelling idealised childhood.
But in any case, playing is not only allowed but requested as per this sign:
This is for Cee’s Black & White photo challenge with the theme toys for children or adults.
