Viola × wittrockiana, commonly known as the garden pansy, is a popular hybrid flower cultivated for its colorful and expressive blooms. It is the result of a complex hybridization between several species of the Viola genus, particularly Viola tricolor, Viola lutea, and Viola altaica. Widely grown as an ornamental plant, the pansy thrives in cool climates and is loved for its variety of colors and delicate patterns.

 

The name "Viola" comes from Latin, meaning "violet." The hybrid name "× wittrockiana" honors Veit Brecher Wittrock, a 19th-century Swedish botanist who specialized in the Viola genus. The “×” symbol indicates its hybrid origin.

 

The common English name "pansy" comes from the French word pensée, meaning "thought" or "remembrance." Likewise, in Spanish, the flower is called pensamiento, which also means "thought." These names reflect the flower’s symbolic association with reflection, memory, and gentle emotion.

In South Korea, it’s common to see vibrant pansies decorating public spaces like plazas, sidewalks, and gardens. These particular pansies were photographed in the charming Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village, located in Jung-gu, Incheon, a place filled with color, imagination, and beautiful floral displays.

We have just returned from a two week trip to Grazalema in southern Spain. The trip was booked back in 2019 but then covid entered the dictionary and on the third attempt we finally made it.

 

Originally we had booked to go in April but for various reasons it was changed to March and the weather their matched the title for the village with the most rainfall in Spain, that said we did have some nice days and we were on the whole, able to work around whatever the elements threw at us, as a result I was not able to see all of the species I had hope to see though we did find a few others which were pleasant surprises.

 

First up is this Sombre Orchid we found right at the end of the Medieval path the runs from Grazalema to the bottom of the cliffs. A pretty little orchid that stands about 10 inches high is one of the the 37 species of orchids that can be found in the region between February and May

Spring bloom (Oct.2016)

 

It was hard not to notice the variety and colours of the wild flowers that were growing around Grazalema, however this is one that stood out not by colour but the shape of the flower. We only found the one plant with a small number of flowers growing against a large rock behind a derelict farm building.

 

Initially we had no idea what kind plant but a bit of digging around on google we soon found out the true identity, it is also known as the Andalusian Pipe Vine however I rather liked the other common name, though it reminded me more of the carnivorous pitcher plants on first sight.

 

This is a type of poisonous vine which is a member of the birthwort family found across the Iberian peninsular and North Africa, the ant was a bonus ;-)

In the temperate forests of this part of Asia, it is common to see lobed-leaf trees that sprout in spring with an orange or reddish hue, later turning green as the season progresses. Some specimens have deeply edged leaves with a firm texture, adapted to cold climates, while others have more delicate, palmate shapes. The most common species in these latitudes (Acer pseudosieboldianum), though it is not unusual to also find its better-known relative (Acer palmatum), native to a neighboring region. Both share a similar aesthetic, but with subtle nuances in shape and the timing of their color changes, making each encounter a distinct and valuable observation.

Incheon Chinatown, Jung-gu, Incheon, South Korea

Whilst out exploring a new area near the end of the trip, we came across numerous patches of wild irises growing along a riverbank.

 

We had chosen to go here as it was raining in Grazalema and this place was at a much lower altitude, 600m lower and the weather looked a lot better.

 

In fact it started off very warm and sunny so didn't bother taking the rain coat, big mistake as no sooner as I had taken this shot it started raining and got worse throughout the afternoon. I was soaked and to top it off, I forget to bring the cable release so had to rely on the self timer which meant I couldn't time the shot very well to when the breeze dropped off.

 

As it turned out, this was the only shot in focus and the rain put paid to any further photos for the afternoon. On the plus side we heard numerous Nightingales, saw an Otter and also a Collard Flycatcher on the journey back.

We first found these little orchids on the second to last day of the trip, so I planned to come back the following morning to get a few more shots as I didn't have my macro lenses with me.

 

To begin with we could only see the one orchid and as we were looking at it a shepherd and his herd of sheep appeared. We joked at the time that when we came back the sheep would have eaten it, to be honest we thought it would be fine as other orchids had been ignored.

 

So when I returned the following morning, guess what, could not locate the orchid and eventually I found the flower on the ground having been nibbled off. Fortunately, after a brief search I found two more orchids not far away that had literally come into flower overnight, it was then I could see many more buds so luckily I was able to get a few shots before the sheep return.

Monarda didyma, the crimson beebalm, scarlet beebalm,scarlet monarda, Eau-de-Cologne plant, Oswego tea, orbergamot, is an aromatic herb in the family Lamiaceae, native to eastern North America from Maine west to Ontario and Minnesota, and south to northern Georgia. Its odor is considered similar to that of the bergamot orange, which is used to flavor Earl Grey tea. The genus name comes from Nicolas Monardes, who described the first American flora in 1569.

Photographed the Mistflower at the entrance to the Shady Oaks trail located at Circle B Bar Reserve in the City of Lakeland Polk County Florida U.S.A.

 

Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) is an eye-catching wildflower known by many common names: Blue mistflower, Wild ageratum, Pink eupatorium, Hardy ageratum and Blue boneset. Found in riverine swamps, moist meadows and roadside ditches, its flowers give the appearance of a blue fog when blooming en masse. Flowers are very attractive to pollinators, especially butterflies, moths and long-tongued bees.

 

Mistflower’s many branched stems that bear dense, flat clusters of disk florets that vary in color from bright blue to lavender to pinkish-white. Ray florets are absent. Long protruding stamens give the flower heads a fuzzy appearance. Light green linear bracts surround the flower base. Leaves are almost triangular in shape, with toothed margins and faintly pubescent surfaces. They are petiolate and oppositely arranged. Fruits are small achenes with tiny hairs that aid in wind distribution. Roots are rhizomatous.

The genus Conoclinium was once classified in the genus Eupatorium, but genetic analysis revealed differences that required reclassification to its own genus. The species epithet coelestinum is from the Latin caelistis (coelestis), meaning “celestial” or “heavenly.” It refers to the sky-blue color of the flowers.

Autumn leaf with autumn colors

One from this morning. Yesterday went for a little explore close to where I had seen the Mirror Orchids and since then many more orchids have appeared. This species I had seen before in just one place but now there are a number of patches of mixed orchid species including Yellow Bee Orchids. A clear sky and a heavy dew helped to get some nice images.

Early Crocus after a short spring rain shower

Photographed the Staghorm Sumac from the Chedoke Trail located in the Cliffview Park area in the City of Hamilton in Ontario Canada

 

The Staghorn Sumac, however, is native to the southern half of Ontario and eastwards to the Maritime provinces. And there are other Canadian species, such as the smooth sumac in western Canada, the fragrant sumac in the prairies through to Ontario and the shining sumac in southern Ontario. All put on a grand show in autumn of brilliant hues of orange and yellow that become deep red. The beauty of our native sumacs continues into the winter with clusters of fuzzy bright red berries

The Christmas Cactus is starting to bloom in the house in Timmins in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada

 

Schlumbergera is a small genus of cacti with six to nine species found in the coastal mountains of south-eastern Brazil. These plants grow on trees or rocks in habitats that are generally shady with high humidity, and can be quite different in appearance from their desert-dwelling cousins. Most species of Schlumbergera have stems which resemble leaf-like pads joined one to the other and flowers which appear from areoles at the joints and tips of the stems. Two species have cylindrical stems more similar to other cacti.

 

Common names for these cacti generally refer to their flowering season. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are called Christmas cactus, Thanksgiving cactus, crab cactus and holiday cactus. In Brazil, the genus is referred to as Flor de Maio (May flower), reflecting the period in which they flower in the Southern Hemisphere. Most of the popular houseplants are cultivars of Schlumbergera, rather than species, with flowers in white, pink, yellow, orange, red or purple. The Easter cactus or Whitsun cactus, placed in the genus Rhipsalidopsis, is also called a holiday cactus and has flowers in red, orange, pink and white.
