Lauantaina en ollut KIPpailemassa vaan ihan muualla. Mikroaaltouuni sanoi sopimuksensa irti parisen viikkoa sitten - ei lämmennyt ruoka vaan itse mikro, joten katsoimme paremmaksi katsella uutta. Lauantaina käytiin sitten katselemassa uutta ja kävimme katselemassa vähän muutakin. Nimittäin alppiruusuja Rodopuistossa.
On Saturday I was not KIPping, but doing something else. Our microwave oven handed in its notice a few weeks ago - it did not heat the food anymore but started heating itself. So we decided it was better to go look for a replacement. I did that on Saturday but I saw something else too. In Helsinki in Haga there's a rhododendron park. The first hybrids were planted on 1975 for research purposes by the University of Helsinki.

Tuo paikka on aina ollut mielestäni jotenkin epätodellinen - korkeita kukkivia pensaita mäntymetsikön suojassa. Aikaisemmin sitä ei mielestäni edes oikein näkynyt tielle, nyt kukkien näkee pilkottavan puiden lomasta kun tarkasti katsoo.

And they've had plenty of time to grow. I've always felt the place is somehow surreal, dream-like. There's these huge flowering shrubs growing in pine forest. Earlier you couldn't even see them from the road but I think they've done some weeding and you can see the colours in the forest if you look closely.

Keltaiset ja oranssit ovat uudempia, taitavat olla vuodelta 1996. Pienempiä ovat, mutta ihan runsaskukkaisia nekin. Ei tällaisia normaalipuutarhoissa näe.
The oranges and yellows are newer, planted in 1996. So they are not as huge as the oldest ones but very nice size nonetheless. You don't see them like this in normal gardens.

Hieman keltaisia.
A bit of yellow ones.

Kaunis vaaleanpunainen puu.
A pretty pink tree.- -
Tämä oli suosikkini, voimakkaan fuksianpunainen. Kannattaa mennä paikalla nyt, siellä on kukinnat parhaimmillaan.
This was my favourite, a nice deep fuchsia. A good time to go visit the park now, for the flowers are at their best.
