Lilium longiflorum.

And I have a demanding presence!

Also a most pleasant fragrance.

This plant is native to Japan and the Ryukyu Islands.

It is a stem rooting lily, growing up to 1 m high and bears a number of trumpet shaped, white, very fragrant, and outward facing flowers.

I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasised without the colour.

Don't you agree?

MANY PLANTS NOW GO TO SEED... SWAN MILKWEED… by magda indigo

MANY PLANTS NOW GO TO SEED... SWAN MILKWEED…

#AbFav_AUTUMN_SEASON

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Gomphocarpus fruticosus: Asclepias fruticosa is the old botanical name, Narrowleaf cotton bush, Swan bush, Swan milkweed the popular ones.

Here: the seedbox/fruit

Inflated green and later light brown, papery pod or follicle; short bristly hair cover the outer surface; dark seeds have silvery cotton wool-like attachments that facilitate wind distribution.

Asclepias fruticosa is a species of milkweed native to South Africa.

It is also common in New Zealand where it is the main host of the monarch butterfly.

The plant's tissues contain sufficient cardenolides that consumption of significant quantities of the plant's leaves, stems, or fruit may lead to death in livestock and humans.

Brought this from Sardinia to photograph in my studio.

… what happened next?

Due to the heat given off by the lights in the studio, the pods started to open and the pod opened and released the seeds.

Hundreds of seeds fluffing from that one pod. In a matter of minutes all of the seeds floated out of the pod.

Once the process of release started, it could not be stopped.

I loved shooting this small miracle of nature in my studio.

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

And this here is pure Autumn!

An orange onion Pumpkin, some Strawberry Corn (mostly decorative Zea mays 'Strawberry'. Popping Corn), some cobnuts (fresh Hazelnuts) and a few Physalis… et voila, Autumn in the studio.

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AB_FAV_ANYTHING_GOES_ 🎨

yes I am a big fan of white lilies...

Lilium longiflorum.

This plant is native to Japan and the Ryūkyū Islands.

It is a stem rooting lily, growing up to 1 m high and bears a number of trumpet shaped, white, very fragrant, and outward facing flowers.

We have a family of friends that we visit every year, they breed horses, wonderful people.

They have now made it a tradition that each year, on the day of our return back home, the end of our visit/holidays, they present me with a bunch of freshly-cut Lilies (one of the sons helps on a farm where they grow them for the bulbs!).

It is a bouquet that I can barely hold my arms around, I had to buy a BIG vase and even now, they are split into two displays.

Our house is filled whit the fragrance.

What wonderful friends we have all over!

WELCOME MAY! FIRST of MAY, MUGUET DAY by magda indigo

24 3

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AB_FAV_ANYTHING_GOES_ 🎨

Lily of the Valley,

French: Muguet, lis des vallées

Dutch: Lelietjes van Dalen

Flemish: meiklokjes (Little BELLS OF MAY)

The flower is also known as 'Our Lady's tears' since, according to Christian legend; the lily of the valley came into being from Eve's tears after she was driven with Adam from the Garden of Eden.

According to another legend, Lilies of the Valley also sprang from the blood of Saint Leonard of Noblac during his battles with a dragon.

Other names include May Lily, May Bells, Lily Constancy, Ladder-to-Heaven, Male Lily and Muguet.

Lily of the Valley became the national flower of Finland in 1967.

The Norwegian municipality Lunner has a Lily of the Valley in its coat-of-arms.

It is also the official flowers of many fraternities and sororities.

... an erect low-growing perennial herb of the genus Convallaria (C. majalis) that has two large oblong lanceolate leaves and a raceme of fragrant nodding bell-shaped white flowers.

All parts of the Lily of the Valley are highly poisonous.

The first day of May in France and other European countries is La Fête du Travail (Labour Day). It is a holiday.

May 1 is also La Fête du Muguet, and the tradition is to give the ones you love a sprig of Muguet, for good luck and to celebrate the arrival of Spring.

DAHLIAS GALORE...

#AbFav_SUMMERGARDEN

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

A member of the Asteraceae family of dicotyledonous plants, its garden relatives thus include the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia.

There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants.

Dahlias are perennial plants with tuberous roots, though they are grown as annuals in some regions with cold winters.

Spaniards reported finding the plants growing in Mexico in 1525, but the earliest known description is by Francisco Hernández, physician to Philip II, who was ordered to visit Mexico in 1570 to study the "natural products of that country".

The tubers were grown as a food crop by the Aztecs, but this use largely died out after the Spanish Conquest.

They were used as a source of food by the indigenous peoples, and were both gathered in the wild and cultivated.

The Aztecs used them to treat epilepsy, and employed the long hollow stem of the (Dahlia imperialis) for water pipes.

STANDING TOGETHER in BEAUTY… CYCLAMEN by magda indigo

30

#AbFav_blackwhite

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

The cyclamen commonly sold by florists is Cyclamen persicum, which is frost-tender.

Selected cyclamen cultivars can have white, bright pink, red or purple flowers.

While flowering, florists' cyclamens should be kept below 20 °C (68 °F), with the night time temperatures preferably between 6.5 °C to 15 °C (44 °F to 59 °F).

Temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F) may induce the plant to go dormant.

Cyclamen are native to the Mediterranean region from Spain east to Iran, and also in northeast Africa south to Somalia.

RED VIBRANCY… ANTHURIUM by magda indigo

17

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AB_FAV_ANYTHING_GOES_ 🎨

Paul surprised me with these beauties.

I really get annoyed when people use the worn cliché, that a man only gives flowers if he has done something 'wrong', if he needs forgiving! I'm sick and tired of it, plus I find it most unfair to men.

Many give flowers just to say, I care, I love you, thank you...

Anthuriums are a fun flower and never fail to provoke a smile.

They look almost unreal! The flowers are thick, shiny, ribbed and wrinkled, while the leaves are large and glossy, which makes them so much more difficult to photograph well!

They belong to the Araceae family, which also includes callas and philodendrons.

Their genus name, Anthurium, comes from the Greek words anthos meaning "flower," and oura, meaning "tail."

Anthurium can also be called "Flamingo Flower" or "Boy Flower", both referring to the structure of the spathe and spadix.

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

More fun from Studio Indigo, lol.

INFO: Found under a tree in bonnie Scotland.

Maple trees (Acer) produce winged seeds called double samaras, which twirl to the ground in late summer or early fall.

They resemble helicopters in motion, earning them the common name of helicopters or whirligigs.

The seeds vary slightly in size and colouring among species, but all produce winged seeds affectionately called helicopters.

#AbFav_TEXTURES

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

MY PAINTING...

I've painted for as long as I can remember.

I believe if you are a creative it is NEVER just in one field...

I photographed one of my paintings, 60x50, and inserted it; I was so surprised when it actually matched the colours on my palette!

I painted it from memory, a tour of Bretagne.

I had been most impressed with the rough rocky coasts, the often emerald waters, the ‘wildness’ of the place.

Some of the brushes I used belonged to my grandfather and father.

The painting is actually done completely with pallet-knife, my fave tool.

I painted with oils like this here, watercolours but I made hundreds of soft pastels.

I don't paint anymore now; I might again, one day, who knows?

My most creative period was when I had a lot of turmoil in my life, anger, sadness, disappointment and love.

I painted furiously day and night!

When that was gone, the photography kicked in again ad eventually took over.

I believe you have to be in a specific ‘state of mind’, plus, I must admit that over the years Photography has satisfied my creative needs more and more.

Wishing you all a colourful day, and thank you as always for your time, Magda (*_*)

It was named in honour of the German naturalist Traugott Gerber.

It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa and tropical Asia.

Colours include white, yellow, orange, red, and pink.

The center of the flower is sometimes black.

It is the fifth most used cut flower in the world (after rose, carnation, chrysanthemum, and tulip).

Hope this brings a bit of joy again rather than Angst which I see in so many images and news, have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Leeds is a wealthy city, and there are, in the centre, many arcades that you can walk through to get from one main street to the next.

They each show off their decorations each year in different styles!

They are stunning all year but extra for the festive season!

Have a happy day and thank you for viewing, M, (*_*)

Pinwheels, little windmills, another prop of Summer, theses things bring back memories from deep within... your childhood...

A pinwheel, the sound of that plastic whirring sound...

Can bring back such vivid memories, with a sort of ache.

How can I resist, such fun colours, another photo begging to be taken. LOL

Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

The South of France. One of my favourite pass-times is sitting on rocks, enjoying the sea.

The waves coming and going, their play.

Taking image after image and then stared some more taking it all in, no other sounds but the sea, the clean air filling the nostrils, the salty taste on the lips...

An unforgettable moment so full of awe for our beautiful world...

Have a wonderful day, filled with love, M, (*_*)

#AbFav_blackwhite

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

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.

WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY… Rose

youtu.be/qc8aHX5EWOc

Thank you Peter Sarstedt

A crying Rose.

The best roses come from my own garden, more fragrant and more opulent they are.

Monochromatic? Not really he? All the shades of grey... from a true black to white... as it should be!

A flower image in b&w...

I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasised without the colour.

Don't you agree?

My latest project, THE MONOCHROMES, THE BOOK can be viewed and purchased now: www.photobox.co.uk/creation/4656305615

Already working on the second one.

I wish you a day filled with peace in your heart! Thank you, M, (*_*)
