The flowers of Hungary

May is a beautiful month. It is neither too hot nor too cold, making it perfect for enjoying the outdoors. During May, my family usually visits various cemeteries where our departed relatives are buried. As we stop at each grave site, we’ll pay tribute by turning up the volume of the CD player in the car and playing some beautiful Hungarian songs of the season.

If you have ever visited Hungary, then you probably have seen that many homes there always have a vase of fresh cut flowers on the main table and a meticulously maintained outdoor garden displaying a vivid rainbow of colors.

Did you know the national flower of Magyarország is the tulip?

The Hungarian crocus is also considered a non-official national flower and blooms earlier in the winter than other crocus types. It was registered as a unique genus by botanist Viktor Janka in 1867 at Szársomlyó Hill just south of Pécs in the picturesque Villány wine region.

In 1994, the area was designated as an environmentally protected zone and is associated with the Duna- Dráva National Park of Hungary. This region boasts hills comprised of limestone which makes for a rugged terrain ideal for the development of area-specific plant life. It has seven species of plants that can be found no where else in the world. There are also over 100 plant types that are protected by law from human intrusion in the Szársomlyó/ Villány area.

The May 201 7 wordsearch puzzle comprises 13 clues that name some of the most popular flowers found in a typical Hungarian garden, plants that grow only in the Villány Hills, and other clues concerning the theme of this puzzle.

Good luck! Happy Mother’s Day! See you in June.
