A typical easy-going man from Berlin called Bolle takes a trip on Pentecost which doesn’t turn out so well for him. That’s a German song linked to Pfingsten when many people in Germany have a long weekend and take trips or mini-vacations.
It looks like a rose and blooms around Pentecost: the Pfingstrose or peony. The flower was used for medicinal (and magical) purposes but also as an ornamental flower.
