Angiosperms in the form of Taraxacums (Dandelions in Modern English) abundantly cover the fields near the Thackery grain elevator while the day's I&O LSL rolls downgrade towards their crew change point in Tremont, OH on an overcast, yet pleasant Spring afternoon.

Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

Anacamptis pyramidalis turned out to be a remarkably frequent sight during our short trip to Normandy. What the flowers of this orchid perhaps lacks in form, at least when compared to Himantoglossum, it more than makes up for in colour.

Ilex or holly is a genus of over 570 species of flowering plants in the family Aquifoliaceae, and the only living genus in that family. Ilex has the most species of any woody dioecious angiosperm genus. The species are evergreen or deciduous trees, shrubs, and climbers from tropics to temperate zones worldwide. The type species is Ilex aquifolium, the common European holly used in Christmas decorations and cards.

Why is spring my favorite season? Because of what it represents in our lives! With spring comes hope: hope of new life and a new creation! Each spring we watch the flowers bloom, the dormant grass turn green, the trees bud, flower, and come back to life! We see the sun start to shine more and start to pull people out of their shells of homes and into the life that is blooming all around them! For a macro enthusiast like myself, this season is heaven on earth.

“Utterly meaningless!

Everything is meaningless.”

As a side note, today marks another trivial bit of flickr history for me as my previous 2800 public images have now surpassed eleven million views.

Thistle species are quite challenging to identify, as many produce virtually identical-looking flowers, and overlap in other traits too. So I'm not sure what species this one is. I saw only a handful of them in Joshua Tree National Park, and only in Hidden Valley.

 

Thistle flowers can be very pretty, in sharp contrast to the rest of the plant. They can be truly vicious if you're out gardening and don't have thick protective clothing. 😕

Heliconia psittacorum is a perennial herb native to the

Caribbean and South America. It is considered native to French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago. It is reportedly naturalized in Gambia, Thailand, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica and the Lesser Antilles. It is often cultivated as a tropical ornamental plant in regions outside its native range. Unlike most species of plants that require the use of pollinators for pollination the H. Psittacorum naturally prefers the absence of pollinators for pollination. In other words, it is well capable of pollinating itself, any use of pollinators can do more harm than good. The flower has both male parts and female parts, also referred to as a hermaphroditic angiosperm.

Les "angiospermes" -- autrement dit les plantes à fleurs -- représentent plus de 90 % des espèces végétales terrestres. Pourtant leur origine reste floue. Elle est généralement datée de quelque 130 millions d'années, au Crétacé. Cependant, certains indices laissent penser que les plantes à fleurs seraient plus âgées. Des grains de pollen d'angiospermes ont été trouvés en Suisse dans des roches bien antérieures, découverte qui vient renforcer cette hypothèse.

The Magnolia possess some of the most primitive fruit among angiosperms.

Their fruit are cone shaped, woody, and aggregate, and they are approximately 3-8 inches long.

 

Inside are the red seeds.

The leaves can be used as bay-leaves.

Have a day full of joy, thank you, Magda, (*_*)
