In this book, I compiled the most beautiful flower photos of my father (he insisted that his name be spelled without an 'h'). He especially loved cactus and orchids and he was crazy about flowers! One cactus is called 'Princess of the Night' (page five). Sometimes it seemed as if flowers meant more to him than his family, but that only seemed to be so! This quote fits my father well: Love of nature is the only love, which human hope doesn't disappoint. Father also loved to go mushrooming in the forest. My parents were pretty good experts. But one day it happened anyway, that they got poisoned. Luckily it was only mild poisoning and they recovered soon. On the pastures in Dittingen BL (my father's home village) are many wild orchids and he was always very happy when he could find some of them. There is a photo of a late spider-orchid on page eighty-seven. We called them 'Dress of mother Mary'! There are also a lot of cherry trees in Dittingen BL on the field where the glider airport is above the village. Father had a few apple trees in his garden. The quality of the photos is good. As opposed to my father my knowledge of flowers is minimal. But I enjoy their beauty very much! I wish you lots of pleasure while viewing these pictures!
