DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (2/60) – Garlic? Corpses? Kim Wilde? (2/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.
Dr. Mark Benecke

Yesterday we were at the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, whose meadow is covered with beautiful cherry trees. I tried to offer Ines some cherry blossoms as a token of love. However, she was not enthusiastic, because the problem with flowers is: Ines: “They smell like a corpse!”. In addition, Ines has the following opinion about romantic gestures by handing over flowers: … Ines laughs. Mark: “What does it do to you when I offer you cherry blossoms in a sun-drenched, windswept field?” Ines: “I think it’s very beautiful. But the poor flowers!”

Clara Zetkin Park, where the popular Victorian Breakfast is held, has also already unfolded its beauties. Thanks to my plant identification app, I first learned about garlic rocket. A beautiful herb that smells pleasantly of garlic when crushed, not stinky and driving away all the vampires like real garlic. (Text & photos: Mark Benecke)
