The full summer is getting as well in North Finland - except in the norternmost parts of Lappland! Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) leaves
off flowering, chickweed wintergreen (Trientalis europaea) is just flowering. The willows (Salix caprea, on right in pict.)
have big leaves already, and the new annual growth of spruce (Picea abies) is couple of centimetres long.

Growth situation in June was rather favourable - however in Lappland rather cool. Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) starts to flowering
as well as wavy hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa). The new annual shoots of whortleberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) are almost completed.
