The Heather

The heather in bloom is an impressive sight, when the moors of Denmark are covered by a carpet of these small flowers, in all shades of pink and blue

The best place to see it is in the open, on the moors and near the beaches.

The season is from july to september, and the heather is a haven for nesting birds, insects bees and butterflies

The bees that visits the heather flowers makes one of the finest kinds of honey, that is much appreciated, pricy and often sold out quickly
