Pink, small, and punctual,

Aromatic, low,

Covert in April,

Candid in May,

 

Dear to the moss,

Known by the knoll,

Next to the robin

In every human soul.

 

Bold little beauty,

Bedecked with thee,

Nature forswears

Antiquity.

Emily Dickinson

 

Warm thanks and greetings to all Flickr friends, who encouraged me yesterday when I was down.

Skirret's florets are aromatic but I don't know what they taste like. Its roots - which I've not eaten yet - are said to compare to delicious salsify, one of my many favorite vegetables. Apparently the little flowers are sweet enough to attract a variety of insects among which this delicate female fruit or gall fly, Terellia tussilaginis. It's about 5 mm long so the individual flowers are about half that in diameter.

This is another photograph from my series of the hidden beauties. It is an aromatic herb what can be used for the therapy of illnesses, like for instance stomach problems and head aches as well. So ? Did anyone recognise is already ?

In the kitchen I know it as an ingredient of some fish souces and cucumber salad and I am not a big fan of it.

In photographical terms it’s doing a great job too, especially when You go really close (photo is coming soon).

Because You are all smart and close to nature You did for sure find out already, that this is dill.

 

Dies ist ein weiteres Bild aus meiner Reihe der versteckten Schönheiten. Es handelt sich um ein Gewürzkraut welches auch zur Behandlung von Krankheiten, wie z.B. Magenproblemen oder auch Kopfschmerzen verwendet werden kann. Hat es schon jemand erkannt ?

In der Küche kenne ich es als Bestandteil von Fischsoßen und Gurkensalat und ich bin kein großer Fan davon.

Fotografisch macht es auch mächtig was her, vor allem aus unmittelbarer Nähe (Foto folgt ein anderes Mal).

Da ihr alle schlau und naturverbunden seid, habt Ihr bestimmt schon herausgefunden, dass es sich um den Dill handelt.

Photographed the Big Sagebrush on one of the walking trails at the Echo Canyon Welcome Center Rest Area Westbound I-80 in Summit County Utah U.S.A.

 

Also known by the names Common Sagebrush, Blue/Black Sagebrush or Mountain Sagebrush, it is a shrub or small tree from the family Asteraceae. It is a coarse, hardy silvery-grey bush with inconspicuous yellow-green flowers and grows in arid sections of the western United States and Western Canada. It is the primary vegetation across vast areas of the Great Basin desert and is an indicator species for high desert (above 1,500 ft.). Like others in this genus, it has highly aromatic foliage. Unlike some others of this genus, it develops a true woody trunk and branches. In maturity the twisted trunk can become picturesque and suitable for bonsai treatment. Along rivers or in other relatively wet areas, sagebrush can grow as tall as 3 meters (10 feet), but is more typically 1-2 meters tall.

Nice to have in the garden and the bees love it too.

Beautiful, aromatic and abundant wild garlic.....I could still smell it while editing this!

The rhizomes are aromatic, anti-arthritic, appetizer, cardiac

stimulant, carminative, deodorant, hair tonic and stomachic.

Also useful in cough, asthma, diarrhoea, dropsy headache, hair falling, liver complaints, rheumatism and skin diseases. Leaves

are woven into mats.

This Rosebush was brought to me from a coworker from Greece,

Small pink roses have unique associations for Greeks and Cypriots. ... the small, scented, pink roses have always been popular with the Greeks for their beauty ... home production of rose water, even if they only had one rose bush in their yard.

The aroma is intoxicating especially in the morning,

I have given at least 5 cuttings to friends.

A favorite of mine, highly aromatic and member of the carrot family, I love to roast the bulb or eat it raw. The feathery frowns are fabulous in salads and can grow up to 40 centimetres!

 

This is a slow as I go these days, hopefully worthy of the theme! In the late 70s/early 80s I photographed fast moving F1 cars. Since then never really gave LEs a go - you would think I should as I we live on the coast. Anyone want to come to ME and give me a tutorial? Oh and a free filter LOL:)

HMBT !

White on white interpretation. I didn't realize how aromatic Azaleas are. They are divine.

Dill has a very characteristic smell.

I also love the herb, because it looks very pretty between flowers.

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to China, India and other East Asian countries.

Beautiful aromatic purple Lilacs...

“Not to be confused with Lemongrass, Citronella is a zesty herb from the same family that is most famous for its insect repelling abilities. It is most commonly used in essential oil form, although the leaves have also been used for their aromatic and medicinal properties.“

Keukenhof est un très beau jardin de fleurs (32 hectares) avec plus de 7 millions de bulbes en fleurs chaque printemps. Symbole des Pays-Bas, il est un lieu unique dans le monde dédié à la tulipe.

Le parc de Keukenhof est situé à une distance proche d'une trentaine de kilomètres d'Amsterdam.

Keukenhof est l'un des plus grands jardins de fleurs au monde avec plus de 800 variétés différentes de tulipes et de nombreux autres types de fleurs qui fleurissent dans le parc chaque printemps.

Même les plus grands sceptiques sont impressionnés !

Le jardin est situé dans l'environnement boisé d'un château du 17ème siècle visible de l'autre coté de la route. Autrefois, le lieu était appelé Keukenduin, littéralement "la cuisine des dunes". Le nom Keukenduin vient du fait que les produits de la région des dunes, comme le gibier, le bétail et toutes sortes d'herbes et de baies, étaient destinés aux propriétaires du château. Pour ensuite devenir Keukenhof soit "Le potager" qui devait servir le château en légumes et en herbes aromatiques.

C'est 1949 que les jardins de Keukenhof sont créés sous l'impulsion du Maire de l'époque souhaitant valoriser le travail des horticulteurs. Depuis les producteur de bulbes de la région exposent chaque année leurs plus belles variétés de tulipes dans des massifs grandioses.

 

Keukenhof is a very beautiful flower garden (32 hectares) with more than 7 million flower bulbs each spring. Symbol of the Netherlands, it is a unique place in the world dedicated to the tulip.

Keukenhof Park is located at a distance of about thirty kilometers from Amsterdam.

Keukenhof is one of the largest flower gardens in the world with over 800 different varieties of tulips and many other types of flowers blooming in the park each spring.

Even the biggest skeptics are impressed!

The garden is set in the wooded surroundings of a 17th century chateau visible across the road. Formerly, the place was called Keukenduin, literally "the kitchen of the dunes". The name Keukenduin comes from the fact that the products of the dune region, such as game, cattle and all kinds of herbs and berries, were destined for the owners of the castle. To then become Keukenhof or "The vegetable garden" which was to serve the castle with vegetables and aromatic herbs.

It was in 1949 that the Keukenhof gardens were created at the instigation of the Mayor of the time, wishing to promote the work of horticulturists. Since then, bulb producers in the region have exhibited their most beautiful varieties of tulips each year in grandiose beds.

 

...The more you have, the more you... (cue scratched-record sound effect).

 

The thing worth tooting about is that, besides being a stimulant good for keeping you awake and giving the shakes, coffee has been reported to contribute to heart health. Of course, this applies to black coffee only (sorry, no cream, sugar, or twenty-word-long espresso drink orders), and the four-year-old report I linked to is subject to change upon new research.

 

As for the dark roast beans in the picture, the caffeine content is slightly lower than that of lighter roasts. It seems counterintuitive, maybe, but it's a byproduct of the roasting process.
