Photographed the Kiwifruit flowers in the 360 Kiwi Vineyards located in Te Puke Western Bay of Plenty in Bay of Plenty in New Zealand
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.

White Poplar trees, both trembling and quaking, have male and female flowers (catkins) on separate trees, appearing as fuzzy, dangling clusters before the leaves emerge in spring, with male catkins releasing pollen and female catkins developing into seed-bearing capsules.

Most of my flower snaps are taken in and around the city of Molde. The second largest city in the county of Møre og Romsdal. It lies along the shores of the Romsdalsfjord in Western Norway.
This charming city has been nicknamed the “City of Roses” since 1913. It boasts incredibly scenic views and surroundings and is filled with beautiful parks and gardens.
Plantaginaceae, the plantain family, is a family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales. In older classifications it used to be the only family of the order Plantaginales, but numerous phylogenetic studies, summarized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, have demonstrated that this taxon should be included within Lamiales.

Contrary to the earlier shot of the bee orchid, had absolutely no problem finding this species at GB Gruffy.
This year there seems to be more than ever so it was just a case of choosing one. Whilst there are only a few rabbits which inhabit one part of the reserve, there are a small number of ponies put there to manage the flora, so in a few places the orchids are surrounded by tightly cropped grass.

Very variable species with the largest flowers in the genus ranging from 100-400 mm in diameter. Clump-forming succulent with fat, green, erect, deeply ribbed stems, up to 200 mm tall and 30 mm thick.
The flowers are large, star-shaped 5-petalled, pale yellow in color, with transverse crimson lines variable in color and covered with purplish or crimson hairs.
It is the most widely north-south distributed species and occurs in Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Los antófilos (Anthophila, griego ‘que aman las flores’), conocidos comúnmente como abejas, son un clado de insectos himenópteros, sin ubicación en categoría taxonómica, dentro de la superfamilia Apoidea. Se trata de un linaje monofilético con más de 20 000 especies conocidas. Las abejas, al igual que las hormigas, evolucionaron a partir de himenópteros aculeados. Los antepasados de las abejas estaban relacionados con la familia Crabronidae y eran depredadores de insectos. Es posible que las primeras abejas se hayan alimentado del polen que cubría a algunas de sus presas y que, gradualmente, hayan empezado a alimentar a sus crías con polen en lugar de insectos.1
Hay muchas más especies que aún no han sido descritas. Se las encuentra en todos los continentes, excepto en la Antártida. Están en todos los hábitats donde hay plantas con flores (magnoliofitas o angiospermas). Están adaptadas para alimentarse de polen y néctar, usando el primero fundamentalmente como alimento para las larvas y el segundo como material energético. La especie más conocida es la abeja doméstica (Apis mellifera), a veces simplemente llamada “abeja”; esta especie es un insecto social que vive en enjambres formados por tres clases de individuos: reina, obreras y zánganos;

Photographed the white flower blossoms of the Pin Cherry Tree found on Prout's Island on Lake Sesekinika located in the Township of Grenfell in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Pin Cherry trees produce small, edible fruits, that are sour when raw, but make excellent preserves. However, all non-fruit parts of the tree contain toxins and are inedible. Pin Cherry grows quickly, and can also spread through suckers, making it useful for stabilizing eroding soils and riverbanks. Pin Cherry like open woodlands, and will readily colonize recently disturbed stands, helping to begin the reforestation process. These small trees only live about 40 years, but they produce a lot of fruit once mature, which many animals rely on in late summer. Pin Cherry fruits are so popular with songbirds that this tree is commonly known as Bird Cherry! Source: The Arboretum Uof G.

Rhododendron, Quarry Bank, Style, Cheshire.
Rhododendron Coordinates..53°20′38″N 2°14′58″W.
Rhododendron is a genus of shrubs and small to (rarely) large trees, the smallest species growing to 10–100 cm (4–40 in) tall, and the largest, R. protistum var. giganteum, reported to 30 m (100 ft) tall. The leaves are spirally arranged; leaf size can range from 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) to over 50 cm (20 in), exceptionally 100 cm (40 in) in R. sinogrande. They may be either evergreen or deciduous. In some species, the undersides of the leaves are covered with scales (lepidote) or hairs (indumentum). Some of the best known species are noted for their many clusters of large flowers. There are alpine species with small flowers and small leaves, and tropical species such as section Vireya that often grow as epiphytes. Species in this genus may be part of the heath complex in oak-heath forests in eastern North America.
They have frequently been divided based on the presence or absence of scales on the abaxial (lower) leaf surface (lepidote or elepidote). These scales, unique to subgenus Rhododendron, are modified hairs consisting of a polygonal scale attached by a stalk.
