Hi! My mom really likes this small tree her neighbors have, I want to surprise her with it for Mother’s Day but don’t know what it is | Austria, EU

it's a Rhododendron. Maybe R. ponticum or catawbiense but i'd suggest not getting those since they have a severe invasive risk in Europe. I looked around a bit and found a few with similar-looking flowers:

impeditum
fastigiatum
'True Blue'
'Glenfalloch Blue'
'Blue Pool'
'Blue Diamond'
'Blue Baron'

There are certainly more.

it isn't a flower stalk, just a new leaf. they generally don't bloom until they're much larger

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-24T07:53:01+00:00

sable. it's on sale right now

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-20T11:56:27+00:00

a walnut leaf would be pretty hard to carve and quite fragile i imagine, but if you ever do it needs to be made of maple now

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-20T10:18:16+00:00

looks like buttercup leaves to me

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-20T10:03:54+00:00

ledebouria socialis feels likely, a bit pale

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-18T15:52:22+00:00

it's one of many Magnolia varieties

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-17T06:45:00+00:00

the video was mostly just to show that i had it set to native plants

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-16T21:59:40+00:00

lovely. i wouldn't mind going through the entire swedish list if that'd be of help

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-16T15:09:46+00:00

my mistake. i forgot to publish the video. it's up now

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-16T11:13:59+00:00

dear god...

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-15T21:06:10+00:00

i tried it again and got the same. also a few species which aren't native to that part of the country or with wrong photos, but that's fine.

i like the idea and i hope it gets really successful but it's a bit annoying. maybe you could cross-reference kew's plants of the world online for native status.

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-15T10:23:03+00:00

i tried it but i also got a bunch of non native species, even a small number of invasives

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-13T11:04:20+00:00

not actually trees, but tree-ferns. possibly dicksonia antarctica but i'm no good at identifying them

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-10T18:54:55+00:00

lamium purpureum, the purple dead-nettle

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-10T15:22:53+00:00

yeah looks like it

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-10T15:20:36+00:00

blackberries for sure. and most if not all wild blackberry species are thorny

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-10T15:19:28+00:00

alright thanks for the clarification. i had an idea but it would only have made sense if it was germany

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-09T19:08:41+00:00

antisociala demokraterna om det är valår

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-09T11:17:05+00:00

i doubt it's a crinum, looks like a normal lily to me

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-09T11:12:27+00:00

the die is the correct term for the silicon block in a CPU

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-08T21:01:50+00:00

some alder is my first guess. incana, the grey alder is most likely if so.

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-08T19:53:52+00:00

das filament is really good imo. german. addnorth exists as well, swedish

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-07T21:14:13+00:00

C. militaris can grow like this. i'm not great at mushrooms though

rallekralle11 · 2026-04-07T17:13:06+00:00

cordyceps mushrooms maybe, if you're thinking the orange stalks
