When I walked today in the pretty botanical garden of Amsterdam, the gardeners were taking up the Fuchsias to store them for Winter. So I was happy to have taken this photo a few days ago. I'd wanted to post one of a blossom being visited by a Honeybee or by a Hoverfly, but that'll have to wait until next year...
This beautiful shrub is labeled as Fuchsia paniculata Lindl. in Latin and Seringenfuchsia (= Lilac Fuchsia) in Dutch. That's confusing to me because I've understood Lilac Fuchsia to be what is scientifically called Fuchsia arborescens. Anybody out there to enlighten me? Many thanks.
The mocking cliff chat, mocking chat or cliff chat, (thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris) is a species of chat in the family Muscicapidae which occurs in rocky habitats in much of eastern Sub-Saharan Africa. The mocking cliff chat is a large chat with distinctive colouration. The male has a glossy black with a chestnut belly, vent, and rump and white shoulder patches. The shoulder patches vary in size geographically. The female is dark grey with a chestnut lower breast, belly, and vent. The mocking cliff chat has a length of 19–21 cm and weigh 41–51g. The mocking cliff chat is mainly insectivorous but also eats fruit and feeds on the nectar of aloes, such as the Krantz aloe, Aloe arborescens.

Hydrangea ‘Annabelle’ in b&w.
‘Annabelle’ is a white-flowering cultivar of Hydrangea arborescens (Smooth hydrangea, ‘Amerika-norinoki’ in Japanese) native to eastern North America.
Heliotropium arborescens, also known as the vanilla flower, is a popular ornamental plant that is especially admired for its intensely violet blooms and pleasant fragrance. On warm days in particular, its sweet scent reminds many people of vanilla, which is why it is highly valued in gardens and on balconies. Originally native to South America, it prefers sunny, sheltered locations with nutrient rich soil. It usually blooms from late spring into autumn and attracts many bees and butterflies with its flowers. Since it does not tolerate frost, it is often grown here as an annual or overwintered in a cool, bright place.

Plenty of little shore ponds here with decaying sea weed and other plants where the larvae of this Lagoon Fly come of age. Their habitat is generally sweet water but the shoreline is a good second. It's flower in the photo is a small blossom of a common Canarian Scrub, Launaea arborescens. It has nastly spines or thorns so watch out when you're dabbling with your camera.

hydrangea arborescens, 'Ncha4', j c raulston arboretum, ncsu, raleigh, north carolina
Here's a pretty little Fruitfly. It was first described in 1908 by Theodor Becker (1840-1928) under the name 'Oxyna martii'. He writes that it's a beautiful species by its coloring and patterned wings. Native especially to the coastal areas of the Canary Islands, its official name today is Campiglossa martii. The 'martii' is to honor great zoologist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868).

Hedera helix, English Ivy, ' Arborescens Golden Form', j c raulston arboretum, ncsu, raleigh, north carolina
My grandson noticed "cotton wool" stuck against branches. At closer inspection pieces of "cotton" started to jump, see individuals on the right. They happen to be nymphes of Dalapax postica, a Leaf Hopper, and hop they can with fluffs and all. The final insect can be seen in the small inset (not my photo).
They seem to like Common Parsleytree (Heteromorpha arborescens abyssinica), also the host plant here.
One of the more common aloes that you'll see in the garden is this one, also known as the candelabra aloe. It is shown in the photo of the garden that I posted yesterday. I had a faily good handle on aloes last year, but in just six months, I can barely tell one from another.

Flowers are arranged in a type of inflorescence called a raceme. The racemes are not branched but two to several can sprout from each rosette. Flowers are cylindrical in shape and are a vibrant red-orange color. I don't know if I should really get into "racemes" and "infloresence." Suffice it to say that these are what I am photographing whenever I'm showing the flower head. The majority seem to have flowers (each tube) that are yellow/orange/red with tips of green.
Used in ancient times as animal feed, as the bitter leaves were appreciated by goats and sheep.
And in traditional medicine it was used as a laxative and also as a diuretic.
j'ai croisé un "baguenaudier" - que je ne connaissais pas - et que j'ai trouvé fort joli !
Juste pour le plaisir des mots : "Colutea arborescens"

Espantalobos, Mariposa del espantalobos.
Colutea sp. (Colutea arborescens)
Esta bonita mariposa está considerada como el lepidóptero más raro y amenazado de nuestra fauna, teniendo en cuenta las dificultades de la espantalobos en nuestra geografía. Por estos lares ya hemos detectado su ausencia en algún lugar conocido al mismo tiempo que se ha mermado la presencia de su planta nutricia, Colutea arborescens, popularmente conocida como “espantalobos”.
Iolas Blue
This beautiful butterfly is considered the rarest and most threatened lepidopteran in our fauna, taking into account the difficulties of Iolas blue in our geography. In these parts we have already detected its absence in some known place, at the same time that the presence of its nutritious plant, Colutea arborescens, popularly known as "wolf scare," has diminished.
Azuré du baguenaudier
Ce beau papillon est considéré comme le lépidoptère le plus rare et le plus menacé de notre faune, compte tenu des difficultés de Azuré du baguenaudier dans notre géographie. Dans ces régions, nous avons déjà détecté son absence dans un endroit connu, en même temps que la présence de sa plante nutritive, Colutea arborescens, populairement connue sous le nom de «effrayer les loups», a diminué.
