More Things Hungarian

An interesting thing that we have noted about Hungarian yards and parks is that they are not always cut, mowed or manicured. These are pictures of the backyard at our apartment building. I was surprised when spring turned to summer that no one mowed the grass. Then just a couple of weeks ago, the whole area bloomed with these wildflowers. At some other apartment buildings, the grass is mowed, but many property owners use their backyards (and even front yards) to grow grapevines, fruit trees and vegetables in addition to gorgeous flowers.
