El morró o anagall (Anagallis arvensis) és una planta menuda de la família de les primulàcies, que presenta petites flors taronges o blaves. Estudis recents de biologia molecular indiquen que tot el gènere Anagallis hauria d'inclore's en la familia Myrsinaceae.[1][2]

 

És molt comuna en tota Europa i és generalment considerada una mala herba.

 

Les tiges fan aproximadament 45 cm de llargada i s'estenen pel sòl. Les fulles sèssils creixen oposades. Les petites flors taronja creixen des de primavera fins a tardor.

 

La subespècie Anagallis arvensis ssp. foemina té les flors blaves. Molts botànics la consideren una espècie a part, anomenada Anagallis foemina.

Azure-blue Anagallis arvensis, a blue form

Anagallis arvensis (syn. Lysimachia arvensis), commonly known as the scarlet pimpernel, red pimpernel, red chickweed, poor man's barometer, poor man's weather-glass,[1] shepherd's weather glass or shepherd's clock, is a species of low-growing annual plant with brightly coloured flowers, most often scarlet but also bright blue and sometimes pink. The native range of the species is Europe and Western Asia and North Africa.[2] The species has been distributed widely by humans, either deliberately as an ornamental flower or accidentally.[3] A. arvensis is now naturalised almost worldwide, with a range that encompasses the Americas, Central and East Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, Malesia, the Pacific Islands, Australasia and Southern Africa.[4][5][6]

 

Traditionally included in the primrose family Primulaceae, the genus Anagallis was placed in the family Myrsinaceae[7] until that family in turn was included in Primulaceae in the APG III system. The genus Anagallis is included in Lysimachia by some authors.[8]

 

This common European plant is generally considered a weed and is an indicator of light soils, though it grows opportunistically in clay soils as well. The origin of the name pimpernel comes from late Middle English pympernele [1400–50], derived from Middle French pimprenelle, from Old French piprenelle, and ultimately from Vulgar Latin *piperīnella (piper 'pepper' + -īn- '-ine' + -ella diminutive suffix).

 

The flower serves as the emblem of the fictional hero the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Clade:Tracheophytes

Clade:Angiosperms

Clade:Eudicots

Clade:Rosids

Order:Myrtales

Family:Myrtaceae

Genus:Melaleuca

Species:M. citrina

 

Synonyms: Metrosideros citrina, Callistemon lanceolatus, Callistemon citrinus

 

Origin: Bottlebrushes are members of the genus Melaleuca and belong to the family Myrtaceae. They are closely related to paperbark melaleucas, which also have 'bottlebrush' shaped flower spikes. Most Bottlebrushes occur in the east and south-east of Australia. Two species occur in the south-west of Western Australia and four species in New Caledonia. Bottlebrushes can be found growing from Australia's tropical north to the temperate south. They often grow in damp or wet conditions such as along creek beds or in areas which are prone to floods.

This species is probably the best known bottlebrush and is widely cultivated. The bright red flower-spikes appear in summer and autumn. Crimson Bottlebrush grows well in wet conditions and usually reaches 4 m. Plants should be lightly pruned and fertilised after flowering. Neglected or mis-shapen plants respond to hard pruning.

Flowering Lantana shrubs are found throughout the Alligator Alley Trail in Circle B Bar Reserve located in Polk County in the City of Lakeland Florida U.S.A.

 

The most common lantana is a non-native species, Lantana camara. It is easy to find in local nurseries and garden supply stores. That said, choosing the right lantana variety is not always so simple. The UF/IFAS Assessment of Non-Native Plants lists Lantana camara as invasive. This means UF/IFAS does not recommend it for North, Central, or South Florida. It quickly invades disturbed sites and is toxic to livestock. Gardeners should take care when choosing a lantana for the landscape.

Hibiscus ( /hɨˈbɪskəs/ or /haɪˈbɪskəs/) is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known as hibiscus, sorrel, and flor de Jamaica, or less widely known as rosemallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40-90) gave to Althaea officinalis.

Habitat: Grows in a a sandy and rocky soil, in grasslands or pampas at low altitude (100-400 metres above sea level). It is not abundant and several subpopulations have already disappeared. It has several ongoing major threats that have drastically reduced the species' population and its habitat. The major threats for the species are fires, agriculture, forestry, grazing and urban sprawl. The species is used as an ornamental in specialized collections, but specimens are not collected from the wild.

El estramonio (Datura stramonium) es una especie de planta angiosperma del género Datura, de la familia Solanaceae.

 

El estramonio es una planta venenosa cosmopolita, de la familia de las solanáceas. Se encuentra naturalizada en zonas templadas de todo el mundo. El género Datura contiene varias especies parecidas y polimorfas, todas ellas tóxicas de las cuales el estramonio es la más extendida. Crece en zonas cálidas eutrofizadas como orillas de ríos, establos, estercoleros, escombreras y vertederos de basuras. Es capaz de adaptarse a todo tipo de suelos, desarrollándose de manera más vigorosa en los suelos húmedos con nitratos abundantes. No es consumida por el ganado, quizá por su desagradable olor.

Binomial name

Rosa lucieae

Franch. & Rochebr. ex Crép.

Rosa lucieae (syn. Rosa wichurana), the memorial rose, is a species of rose native to eastern Asia.

 

Description

It is a woody, semi-evergreen shrub, with long trailing thorny branches of glossy green leaves, and single five-petalled white flowers with prominent yellow stamens in Summer; followed by small dark red hips. It can grow to 6 m (20 ft). It is named after the German botanist Max Ernst Wichura (1817–1866), with the suffix -iana.

 

Uses

While it is valued as a garden plant in its own right, R. lucieae is also a parent of several rose hybrids, notably 'Dorothy Perkins', 'Albéric Barbier', 'New Dawn' and 'Albertine'. Its vigorous, rambling habit makes it particularly suitable for forming an impenetrable barrier at ground level, or for scrambling up large trees. It has been introduced to the United States.

Many other fruits are also wonderful in their season, but the pear at its finest can be so much more exceptional in terms of its luscious texture, richness of taste, and its fragrances reminiscent of rose water, musk, and vanilla.

Pears grow in the Alcinous' orchard, in The Odyssey:

"A LARGE ORCHARD of four acres, where trees hang

their greenery on high, the pear and the

pomegranate, the apple with its glossy burden, the

sweet fig and luxuriant olive ... Pear after

pear, apple after apple, cluster on cluster of grapes,

and fig upon fig, are always coming to perfection ..."

Kiwifruit is native to central and eastern China. The first recorded description of the kiwifruit dates to the 12th century

during the Song dynasty.

 

In the early 20th century, cultivation of

kiwifruit spread from China to New Zealand, where the first commercial plantings occurred.

 

The fruit became popular with British and American servicemen stationed in New Zealand during World War II, and later became commonly exported, first to Great

Britain and then to California in the 1960s

This shot was taken on the same morning as the previous image, we planned to visit 3 of the nature reserves on the mendips starting with Draycott Sleights, then moving to GB Gruffy and finally over to Ubley Warren to photograph this Bee Orchid.

 

We had checked all the sites out the day before and located 2 Bee Orchids, but could I find them the next morning! Eventually found this individual orchid with just the single flower on the side of a small mound. The local rabbits had done their usual fine job of keeping the grass cut short making photographing it quite easy.

 

Best viewed very large.
