LES CAPRICIEUSES… FUCHSIA by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

ALL PINK a lighter shade of pale!

More Fuchsia flowers from the garden. Another variety, even more delicate, smaller and candy pink!

I don’t have a large garden anymore , some plants are in pots.

Hence all the variations with all my favourites.

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.

The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier.

He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs

The vast majority of garden hybrids have descended from a few parent species.

Thanx for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

FAVOURITE PLACE… DAMME by magda indigo

#AbFav_STREETS_and_SQUARES_OF

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Yes, a big favourite place for us in Flanders.

A MUST ON OUR VISIT.

Such a lovely silence except for the rustle of the majestic Elm- and tall Poplar leaves.

Those cathedral like trees (the flat landscape needed these ‘wind-stoppers’), dappled light, and again, the silence only broken by a bumblebee, a bird, a distant moo, the shutter of the camera.

A few miles from Brugge and the coast, you have the small town of Damme.

In the Middle-Ages, this used to be the harbour of Brugge, one of the wealthiest cities in the North.

Due to silt the North Sea is now about 25 miles out, but Damme retained its reputation for good food and beer, wonderful old buildings full of the history of revolutionary Flanders.

Centuries later Napoleon saw the importance of the area and ordered a system of canals to be built.

Today, whichever road you come from, if you want to get to Damme, you'll drive along those beautiful treelined canals.

Here, all the rows of trees, bordering both a cycle/walking path and a bridle path, what an impressive sight.

Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

Freesia is a genus of 14-16 species of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to Africa. Of the 14 species, 12 are native to Cape Province, South Africa, the remaining two to tropical Africa, one species extending north of the equator to Sudan.

The genus was named in honour of Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese (1795-1876), a German physician.

They are herbaceous plants which grow from a corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of narrow leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.

They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.

HISTOIRE de FLEURS... Rose

#AbFav_ANYTHING_GOES

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Fire and Ice, Cherry Parfait... the names of a Rose.

There is this plant in my garden, a Rose, and it was the beautiful month of May... first the leaves and what a joy to see more and more buds appearing.

Then, one day of very strong winds, a branch hung down, bud and all, not completely severed, still some connection with the mother-plant.

Enough to slowly keep it going.

I watched it day after day, holding my breath each time.

Other buds burst open in the sun, but not this bud.

Two weeks went by and the sepals were forever holding and protecting the Rose, until it was ready?

It took over three weeks in all before some colour showed, I was beginning to doubt it would ever make it.

What joy when it deployed its splendour.

It turned up, reaching for the light,

Full glory, yet I could tell that, although held close by the outer layer and hidden under leaves, it had been under attack, from weather and insects, it was imperfect, no matter!

Here is this fighting beauty for all to enjoy!

Have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

HANAMI... BLOSSOMS by magda indigo

75 7

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Hanami (花見, "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers; flowers ("hana") are in this case almost always referring to those of the cherry ("sakura") or, less frequently, plum ("ume") trees.

...Amongst all the opulence, on the grass carpet, you could see that unfortunately people do not experience beauty in the same way, there were blossoms thrown all over the place, I saw two youngsters driving their bikes with their arms up, hitting every branch they could reach, leaving a trail of pink, they had fun... I don't judge them, remember my own youth, we've all done silly stuff that now, but never anything like this, nothing destructive.

When you look or think back... you shake your head in disbelief... and sigh: why?

Because you are that age???

A broken off branch was left to wilt, I rescued it, it's adorning our dining room table now... not before I had photographed it in the studio, lol.

Whereas in China the cherry blossom symbolises feminine beauty, the feminine principle, or love in the language of herbs, in Japan the cherry blossoms are believed to exemplify the transient nature of life, because of their short blooming times.

Cherry blossoms also symbolise clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life.

Take care, be safe!

Have a sweet day and thank you, M, (*_*)

IN STUDIO: THISTLES and a BUMBLE BEEEE… by magda indigo

47 4

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_PURPLE_💜

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Brought these, as they looked ready, only when I looked through the viewer did I spot the bumble bee, it stayed there the whole time, I thought is was dead, but no, it was just gorging on the pollen.

After the shoot, I put it outside and it flew off in freedom!

Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae.

Prickles occur all over the plant – on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves.

These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant.

Interesting bit: Carduus is the Latin term for a thistle (hence cardoon, and chardon in French), and Cardonnacum is the Latin word for a place with thistles.

This is believed to be the origin of name of the Burgundy village of Chardonnay, Saône-et-Loire, which in turn is thought to be the home of the famous Chardonnay grape variety.

I wish you all the very best and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments, likes and faves. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

BERRY SEASON... by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K as well as providing a good dose of fibre, folic acid, manganese and potassium.

They also contain significant amounts of phytonutrients and flavonoids which makes strawberries bright red.

FUN FACTS on this lovely fruit:

*Despite their name, strawberries aren't technically berries—they're accessory fruits and as we're getting technical, berries should have seeds inside.

*Strawberries are really in a group of their own since they don't come from a single ovary.

*There are 200 seeds on an average strawberry.

*Plus, they're the only fruit to wear their seeds on the outside.

*Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen each spring.

*Ancient Romans believed strawberries had medicinal powers. They were used to treat everything from depression to fever and sore throats.

*Native Americans were also among the earliest people to eat strawberries. They even introduced European settlers to the fruit.

*Not only can you safely eat strawberries if you have diabetes, but in fact you are encouraged to do so.

HABIBI… ROSE JUST JOEY by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Habibi: means darling in Arabian.

I love the sound of this word.

A Just Joey Rose from the garden, it had been raining on and off, the wind was blowing this beauty mercilessly about, I took pity on it, and brought it in, before it was damaged.

"Just Joey" is a Hybrid Tea Rose and has a fruity fragrance (to me it smells like ripe raspberries mmmmmm) which wafts from large ruffled salmon blooms, once opened.

This superstar rose is from England.

Just Joey roses were inducted into the Hall of Fame by the World Federation of Rose Societies in 1994.

The flowers are well-formed with large, high-centred buds, supported by long, straight and upright stems.

Each blousy bloom can grow to 8-12.5 cm wide.

Hybrid Teas are the world's most popular type of rose by choice due to their colour and flower form.

With their long stems, it gives them the advantage, over others, as cut flowers.

Most shrubs tend to be very upright, reaching up to 1.8 metres and are recurrent-flowering (flowering constantly during the season, unlike wild dog roses that flower once).

Have a wonderful day, and thank you for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

#AbFav_SUMMERGARDEN

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Malvaceae, or the mallows, is a family of flowering plants estimated to contain 244 genera with 4225 known species.

Well-known members of economic importance include okra, cotton, cacao and durian.

There are also some genera containing familiar ornamentals, such as Alcea (hollyhock), Malva (mallow) and Lavatera (tree mallow), as well as Tilia (lime or linden tree).

The English common name 'mallow' (also applied to other members of Malvaceae) comes from Latin malva (also the source for the English word "mauve").

Malva itself was ultimately derived from the word for the plant in ancient Mediterranean languages.

These here made me think of the chrysalis of moth or butterfly....

No, not a proper butterfly one, but a leaf (less than 3cm that thinks it is a Chrysalis, LOL

The pupae of different groups of insects have different names such as chrysalis for the pupae of butterflies.

The term is derived from the metallic gold-coloration found in the pupae of many butterflies, referred to by the Greek term χρυσός (chrysós) for gold.

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

The minuscule flowers are like twinkling stars.

Tiarella, or foamflower, is a genus of wildflower and garden plants found in Asia and Northern hemisphere.

They belong to the saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae).

Tall heads of starry white flowers open from pink buds, over elegant palmate evergreen foliage which has a darker bar in the center of the rich green leaf.

Very pretty and flowers really well.

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

#AbFav_SUMMERGARDEN

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums, pelargoniums, or storkbills.

Confusingly, Geranium is the botanical name and common name of a separate genus of related plants.

Both genera belong to the family Geraniaceae.

The flowers of geranium and pelargonium are not the same.

Geranium flowers have five similar petals; pelargonium blooms have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals.

LA PETITE DANSEUSE... FUCHSIA by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Another day, another variety.

The w-e upon us, I'll be working, pfft, if you can call it that? Doing what you love??? Making images?

Again somebody wrote to me how, on a stressful day, they open my latest upload, they feel uplifted and positive... the world becomes a better place... I'm only quoting.

Wow, that is achieving my goal! All I want...

I am happy! ¡Olé!'

Fuchsia flowers, some of the last from the garden, the were dangling precariously in the strong wind… I took pity on them lol.

So delicate and pretty and in a lovely colour-combinations!

From a dark pink to a dusky pink.

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.

The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier.

He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.

The Fuchsia flower has four long, slender sepals and four shorter, broader petals; in many species the sepals are bright red and the petals purple (colours that attract the hummingbirds that pollinate them), but the colours can vary from white to dark red, purple-blue, and orange...

Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

PICA, POUR LES AMIS... by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_BLACK_💂‍♂️

This was our dog, the Border collie. Pica pour les amis.

Brought him over during the days that a dog still was quarantined for 6 months, a very distressing time, but after the whole ordeal was over, he came out of it with his natural flair and more protective of us than ever.

Always with us, the car his second residence, he's chased cows into the corner of a field, seagulls into the surf, cats into trees...

Knows the coasts of numerous countries and towns...

He's had Cancer, three strokes, fought through it all.

A beautiful, intelligent animal, with the usual quirks, one of them being, when we were arranging and preparing the studio for clients, BG, chairs, other props, cameras, tested the lights, metering, well, as soon as he saw those flashes going off, he just knew and would go in front of the camera and sit there, correct spot, ready for the close-up Mr, Mrs Indigo.

HMMMM, well, we do have quite a number of portraits of him!

AAhhh models, he?

Thank you for viewing, M, (*_*)

R.I.P 16-12-2005 AND STILL missing him badly...

Have a great day and thank you, M, (*_*)

AUTUMN BOUNTY… by magda indigo

#AbFav_FULL_AUTUMN. 🍂

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

When I am out and about, like the weeks in Scotland, my main interest is never far from my brain, I always scan for ‘bounty, so, I brought back, found on the ground: dried leaves that i think are different, Maple-copters, Mountain Ash berries, small cones and rose-bottles.

These here made me think of the chrysalis of moth or butterfly....

No, not a proper butterfly one, but a leaf (less than 3cm that thinks it is a Chrysalis, LOL

The pupae of different groups of insects have different names such as chrysalis for the pupae of butterflies.

The term is derived from the metallic gold-coloration found in the pupae of many butterflies, referred to by the Greek term χρυσός (chrysós) for gold.

TO MAKE YOU SMILE! Fun from Studio indigo

But not just leaves that maked the Autumn! LOL

Yep, I bring ‘work’ home, all too happy to!

Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)

RENAISSANCE… Tulip by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

‘Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things.’

Robert Brault

RENAISSANCE, in this case re-awakening… into something different, beauty of the second kind.

Dried Tulip.

Sometimes some flowers will lose their petals while others will just ‘mummify’ in the warmth of the studio conditions.

I know that some people are not keen on decay and that others love it.

But here I saw such beauty still, in the shapes and the colours.

Another few of my personal favourites.

Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thanks for your ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)
