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?

Mono is all about the light, shapes and the textures.

An image is more an abstraction when not in colour.

Zantedeschia, usually erroneously called Calla or Arum lilies (only when big and white), they are not a true lily.

It is named after Italian botanist Francesco Zantedeschi.

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

THIS is the last place we took my lovely son, Michel when he was here.

It was quiet, peaceful and calm, only the wind caressing your ears, strange little birds chirping and sheep blaring.

Michel seemed to come to rest from his all too busy life.

The three of us absorbed the epic surroundings, no words were needed.

I would like to say to you all, do not ever leave a loved one on a bad note, you NEVER know if you will meet again.

Due to circumstances, like a virus and lockdowns... this was the last time we hugged, when he left, and like usual, we told each other: I love you, take care.

He died on the 7th of July 2020.

Malham Moor and the surrounding area is wonderfully rich in natural history.

This wealth stems from the climate and the geology – the limestone laid down beneath ancient seas and capped by sandstone deposits, raised up, fractured by fault lines and scoured by glaciers to form the watershed of our modern rivers.

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

#AbFav_FACADES

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

We left the South of France and had an overnight stop in Beaune.

It had been a long and hot day, after our meal we went for a stroll in the town centre, at last in some cooler air.

The two here looks like chaud and froid! LOL

Beaune is the wine capital of Burgundy in the Côte d'Or department in eastern France.

It is located between Paris and Geneva.

Beaune is one of the key wine centers in France, and the center of Burgundy wine production and business.

The annual wine auction of the Hospices de Beaune is the primary wine auction in France.

The hospice structure, in the town center, being one of the best preserved renaissance buildings in Europe.)

The town is surrounded by some of the world's most famous wine villages, while the facilities and cellars of many producers, large and small, are situated in the historic center of Beaune itself, as they have been since Roman times.

With a rich historical and architectural heritage, Beaune is considered the "Capital of Burgundy wines".

It is an ancient and historic town on a plain by the hills of the Côte d'Or, with features remaining from the pre-Roman and Roman eras, through the medieval and renaissance periods.

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

MAGIC CELLARIUM,

The Vaulted Cellarium is where stores of food were kept, because here they would stay cool, dry, and out of the sunlight.

I suddenly saw palm trees, lol?

In fact, it was one very large pantry.

If you walk beneath its arches at dusk on a summer evening, you’re more than likely to encounter one of the eight species of bat that have been reported around the Abbey.

The later it is, the better the light gets, another prime example here.

Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England.

Near Ripon in North Yorkshire.

Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

A MAGICAL place… so tranquil and peaceful

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Chrysanthemum, tightly packed, a true Autumn flower, built against rain, wind and cold?

The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)

Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.

They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.

The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.

For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration. A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.

A HAGOROMO CHRYSANTHEMUM... by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_PURPLE_💜

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

(please open)

The Exhibit MUM.

A Hagoromo Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemum.

Etymological Meaning of the Chrysanthemum Flower

It’s surprisingly easy to remember the scientific name for this flower because it’s Chrysanthemum, the same as the common name for gardening varieties.

However, the exhibition varieties used by florists and arrangers were divided into their own genus known as Dendranthema.

The mums in your yard are likely part of the Chrysanthemum group, while the bouquet sent by the florist contains all or mostly Dendranthema flowers.

Aside from small Latin differences, all Chrysanthemums share a common Greek source for their name.

The words Chrysos, meaning gold, and Anthemon, meaning flower, were combined to reflect the beauty and value of this blossom.

This name carries over the Chinese and Japanese translations, which literally mean gold flower or blossom as well.

From the same plant, it is fascinating to see the differences.

The petals are coloured on the inside!

Like people in one family, LOL.

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

#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, (*_*)

We all know what the ‘bad and sad’ news is EVERY day, we are bombarded with it?

All too aware of it.

Why would I want to repeat-share this?

I prefer to sprinkle some beauty, goodness, kindness and joy, we all need it.

Gerbera is a genus of ornamental plants from the sunflower family.

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.

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, (*_*)

And still the poppies gently blow,

Between the crosses, row by row.

The larks, still bravely soaring high,

Are singing now their lullaby

To you who sleep where poppies grow

In Flanders' Fields.

~~By John Mitchell.~~

Long known as the corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) because it flourishes as a weed in grain fields, the Flanders poppy as it is now usually called, grew profusely in the trenches and craters of the war zone.

Artillery shells and shrapnel stirred up the earth and exposed the seeds to the light they needed to germinate.

Oyster mushrooms (there are several varieties and subspecies) are some of the most nutritious around.

According to R.H. Kurtzman, PhD., they are a rich sources of high-quality proteins and amino acids, B vitamins, and pro-vitamin D (the vitamin a lot of people are missing these days, as indoor jobs means little sun exposure).

Minerals such as iron and potassium are also present.

Beauty and Art keeps us going!!!

In pink and white...

Symphoricarpos, with common names in English of Snowberry, Waxberry or Ghostberry, is a small genus of about 15 species of deciduous shrubs in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae.

Common Snowberry (S. albus) is an important winter food source for quail, pheasant and grouse, but is considered poisonous to humans.

I had to angle them, the berries are really hiding under the leaves!

Thanks for visiting, Magda (*_*)

PURPLE LIPPED LISIANTHUS… by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

Lisianthus are also known as Texas Bluebells, Prairie Gentian, or Lira de San Pedro.

Just opened, a small bud, white and purple just on the lips.

Eustoma stems from the Greek words 'eu', which denotes something beautiful, and 'stoma', meaning mouth.

Lisianthus on the other hand comes from the Greek words 'lysis', which translates as 'dissolution', and 'anthos', meaning flower.

Symbolising gratefulness and charisma, this beautiful long stemmed flower in cymes makes a perfect bouquet when wanting to show respect, love, acceptance, and acknowledgement.

Hope this makes you smile, have a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

ORANGERIE... Ranunculus by magda indigo

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_ORANGE_🍊

I love Ranunculus, the blooms opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...

So tightly petalled and ruffled!

For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light?

Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

OOPS, do not get Orange overdose!

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comment on my images, M, (* _ *)

A STORY OF PURE BEAUTY... by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

I read that viewing flowers and having them in your home either stops you from depression or relief from.

A small price to pay?

I have never been depressed in my life!

Is that proof?

Always surrounded by flowers.

And despite many 'battles' and causes, my life was not always a bed of Roses, lol.

Dark Peonies from my garden.

I could not get enough of their beauty, so photographed them from all angles.

Experience the joy they bring to your soul.

Amazing all the raw images I find in my archives.

Lol, thanks for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

LET ME COLOUR YOUR DAY… FREESIAS by magda indigo

#AbFav_MULTICOLOUR_🌈

both visual and fragrant pleasure...

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.

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

THE LITTLE LANTERNS... PHYSALIS by magda indigo

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY

#AbFav_The_COLOUR_ORANGE_🍊

PHYSALIS alkekengi or Chinese Lantern Plant, they are native from southern Europe east across southern Asia to Japan.

Popular for the papery bright-orange lantern pods that develop around the ripening fruit, these are often cut and used for Thanksgiving and Halloween arrangements.

Plants are aggressive spreaders, and best kept out of the perennial border so they don't take over.

Also can be grown in tubs.

Small white flowers appear in midsummer, over a bushy mound of coarse green leaves.

Pods are green at first, but should be harvested as soon as the orange colour develops, the leaves stripped then stems hung upside down to dry in a warm dark room.

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