It's amazing, because while you're marveling at all the blossoming majesty, you can view, photograph and feel the living spray of some wonderful Hisarya waterfalls!
Golden & ancient Ginkgo
The color explosion, so characteristic of this area of the city of Hisarya, continues at full steam in the autumn!
Look at the ginkgo - it has put on its expensive golden makeover and is important, important, perching in Orpheus dale park.
No other tree is so golden-yellow, so beautiful and so sparkling!
Ginkgo biloba is the only species of its family still in existence today, and its existence can be traced back in Earth's history all the way back to the Jurassic period, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
This miraculous plant has remained unchanged until today.
You will always know it - by the sharp crown and long untidy branches. Its roots are deep and ginkgo is resistant to wind and snow. It forms a large number of shortened branches, on which the leaves are arranged in a rosette. The leaves are single on the elongated branches. They have a very characteristic fan-shaped shape, usually notched at the tip, hence the epithet "biloba", i.e. "two-lobed". The leaves have a very characteristic archaic venation - each vein entering the petiole into the petiole forks into two, then each fork into two more, and so on. until the branches reach the edge of the leaf. This type of branching is called "dichotomous" or "dichotomous".
In autumn, ginkgo leaves turn bright yellow, then fall, sometimes in just 1 to 15 days.
I managed to fit in this short period and here it is - Ginkgo biloba in all its golden glory now before you!
Or maybe you got tired of walking? No problems!
All around Orpheus dale park you will find great new benches - treasures for your tired bodies.
Sit down. Take a rest. Look at the beauty around you. Listen to nature.
