Campanula poscharskyana, the Serbian Bellflower, is a semi-evergreen trailing perennial, valued for its lavender-blue star-shaped flowers. It is native to the northern Balkans (Dinaric Alps) in former Yugoslavia including, as the common name suggests, Serbia. Its genus name comes from the Latin 'campana' meaning 'bell' in reference to the bell-shaped flowers.
Specific epithet honors German horticulturist Gustav Adolf Poscharsky (1832-1914), head gardener in Dresden, Germany.

Campanula (Cam-pá-nu-la) is one of several genera of in the family Campanulaceae with the common name bellflower. It takes its name from their bell-shaped flowers—campanula is Latin for "little bell".
By the way: the Brothers Grimm's tale Rapunzel gave its name to this plant!
Campanula species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species.

This picture shows Egyptian light bulbs (Crookes Tubes), which clearly describe the transformation process and where knowledge comes from. It is likely that magnetism was first truly known by the Atlantean cultures, but it is even more interesting to note that during the dynastic periods, hieroglyphs were produced that provided evidence or described knowledge from that time. The only known evidence from the Giza power plant itself is that the Egyptians recognized the subtle power of magnetite (lodestone46)47 (as did many cultures48 49 ) in jewellery, magic50 and medicine. It is interesting to note that the Mesopotamians also had advanced knowledge of electrochemical reactions, and produced their "Baghdad stacks" in earthen vessels. However, some sets of cataclysms and at least one power station failed at the Great Pyramid. Flooding due to the melting of glaciers in 5500 BC may have ended this enlightened (but limited in its use) period for humanity. What followed was a veritable Dark Age. Currently, the recent development of viruses is essentially due to electromagnetic phenomena and we must reread Rudolf Steiner to understand that humanity is currently going through one of the worst periods for the functioning of the human body and that of planet Earth. We are connected to the energy of the Cosmos through the interior of the Earth but also through the constellation Pleiades.
The figures of this hieroglyph will help to elucidate the many electrical models of the Sun, the Earth and transformers: what the author then proposes is not a definitive solution to the question of why the Earth grows, and therefore expands and moves, bends and collapses (on the crust), but also a proposal to better explain how these complex chemistries can interact within solid and liquid environments. The vast majority of plasma arc discharge experiments have naturally focused on ionized gas, which was first proposed to be. However, lightning inside the Earth and electric current clearly need further explanation and exploration.
Ultimately, this could be the solution not only to the secrets of the past, but also a key to the future "harvesting" of the solar wind, as it seems that similar complex chemistry occurs on the surface of comets.
We are beings of light
The English word "electricity" comes from "electricus", invented by the English scientist William Gilbert who, in 1600, made a careful study of electricity and magnetism. The uses of electricity began with the telegraph invented by Samuel Morse around 1840, followed by the telephone, radio and television. Thomas Edison added lighting in 1880, soon followed by electric motors and heating.
On the walls of an ancient temple at Dendera, north of Luxor, there are several reliefs showing an object that resembles a kind of electric lamp - a large oblong bulb. An electrical engineer managed to build a working model, and some say that the ancient Egyptians must have had some sort of artificial light inside the pyramids and tombs because there are no traces of soot on the walls. Well, there is soot on some of the walls and ceilings, but if the stones were stained long after the oldest pyramids were built, it's hard to tell.
In the Cairo museum there is a whole room with ancient finds that has no explanatory signs and the guides don't have information about what they might have been. A circular object made of lamellar slate, a volcanic rock, looks like part of a modern or even futuristic machine. Does it illustrate some kind of advanced propeller or turbo fan - or what?
Humanity has resorted to the original method of energy acquisition: exothermic chemical reactions (fuel combustion). appear as energizing methods. Mankind has never really lost the fascination of magnetism. It has been used for hundreds of years as a form of medicine, both in China and Rome, by William Gilbert, as well as in several other books on cornerstones and magnetism (Indian Vastu Shastra and its marble blocks) . However, it has in many ways been slandered or confused with the subject of another science more seriously studied by many scientists: Ether. The reader will therefore forgive this small detour through the subject of Ether, before continuing with electromagnetism.
The search for the unified aether field, The Shams al-Ma'arif is generally regarded as the most influential textbook of its kind in the Arab and Muslim worlds, and is probably as important, if not more so, than the Picatrix in both hemispheres.2. The rise in water volume and sea level are to be expected as the water-producing core is burgeoning with new water from the movement of Earth from a small Brown Dwarf binary system (Saturn-Jupiter) towards a Main Sequence Star (MSS): Sol.
3. The GE forms high pressure rift zones and high tension subduction zones collectively, creating highly tense plate tectonic forces which can shift or slide rapidly, or collapse under changing magma+water convective bubbles (hotspots), such as at the Azores, Doggerland, Zealandia, Tamil Massif, etc...
4. The GE rift zones are cooled quickly by the water interacting at the membranous layer (for life needs membranes to be truly alive) of the crust, and the collapsing solid weight, and water pressure at ocean depths, forms a “double layer” of pressure that stabilizes the outward convective mantle forces with the inward weight+atmospheric pressure upon the crust.
5. In Uniform periods, these cause buckling, overthrust, dome formations, and faults which break the cohesiveness of continental formations,
6. When celestial bodies are near, the increased growth bubbles and outer electro-gravitic forces lift and slide the skin-thin membranic crust, sometimes violently (such as India and Madagascar), creating massive land and ocean crust upheavals.
7. When Cosmic Ray Events (CREs) occur, the GE accelerates, and the production of more matter (from constituent subatomic particles), plasma “wind” and neutrino radiation, increases the mass as well as slows the rotation, thereby explaining the slowing of the Earth’s rotation from 360 days to 365.26 over

behavior in the Universe (and possibly Uni-Multiverse). It defines gravitic waves (Poincare), light (EMF),
electric arc discharge, and the internal interactions of particles and subatomic specie (like quarks), which are
measured in electron-volts (eV). The behaviors of particles as waves is explainable in terms of wave-particle
dualities if necessary, or simply as waves (therefore reducing the force to mere magnetic interactions).
However, the moving current of inconceivable charges (as inconceivable a concept as “energy”) provides
concrete proof of energy in action, and provides a dualistic behavior which defines reality itself.

Campanula rotundifolia, also called Harebell and Bluebell of Scotland bloom in a meadow near Crandall, Wyoming in the Absaroka Mountains.
This is a bell shaped clematis named after Lady Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales. Unlike bell shaped blooms that dangle, these bloom upright like tulips. It was a little plant when put in the ground by the fence and it is now in the 3rd yr. that it's been planted. Last summer it started to really take off and this year it is sturdier yet and growing/blooming profusely. It's been hard trying to get a decent picture as it's always a a bit windy and has been raining here practically every day since the first part of May. This clematis will bloom all spring and summer long and is suppose to be a good choice to attract hummingbirds.

Although I think it is probably also eating the flower.

Wikipedia:
"Asimina triloba, the papaw, pawpaw, paw paw, or paw-paw, among many regional names, is a small deciduous tree native to the eastern United States and Canada, producing a large, yellowish-green to brown fruit.[1][2] It belongs to the genus Asimina in the same plant family (the Annonaceae) as the custard-apple, cherimoya, sweetsop, ylang-ylang and soursop.
The pawpaw is a patch-forming (clonal) understory tree found in well-drained, deep, fertile bottom-land and hilly upland habitat, with large, simple leaves. Pawpaw fruits are the largest edible fruit indigenous to the United States (not counting gourds, which are typically considered vegetables rather than fruit for culinary purposes, although in botany they are classified as fruit).[3]
Pawpaw fruits have a sweet, custardish flavor somewhat similar to banana, mango, and pineapple, and are commonly eaten raw, but are also used to make ice cream and baked desserts. "

Spring Snowflake (Leucojum vernum) and Summer Snowflake or Loddon Lily (Leucojum aestivum) are bulbous plants belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family. They are the only species currently classified in the genus Leucojum. Leucojum aestivum,- white bell shape bloom with green tips spring bloom.
Leucojum is a compound of Greek leukos "white" and ion "violet".
Leucojum vernum (Spring snowflake) normally grows 15-20 cm tall (6-8 in), though it may reach up to 35 cm (14 in). It flowers one or two weeks later than the snowdrops, i.e., from mid-February to March, as soon as the snow melts in its wild habitat.
Two varieties are known: L. vernum var. vernum with green spots on its tepals, and L. vernum var. carpathicum, which originates from the eastern part of its natural range, a larger plant with yellowish spots on its tepals; 'vagneri' from Hungary is a robust variant of var. vernum, often with two flowers per stem.
After spending a day with the new flickr interface, I was going to have a bit of a rant!
But you know what? I really can't be bothered!
It won't make an ounce of difference what I say, so I'm electing to save my energy, go to bed, and have a good night's sleep!
However, as a software engineer, I'm very interested in your opinions on the new look and feel, so don't hold back if you have something to say - good or bad! :)

Process of lumen printing using Kalanchoe succulent flowers in our desert garden!
"No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden."-- Thomas Jefferson
These succulent flowers are growing in a pot in our garden up against a background of green ice plant.
Lighting: I used a camera setting that let the background go quite dark, and then lit the flowers with a Yongnuo flash in a Lastolite soft box at camera left. The flash was triggered by the popup flash on my camera.
Other picture that I've taken of succulents flowers are in my Cactus and Succulents album.
From the Swallowtail Garden Seeds collection of botanical photographs and illustrations. We hope you will enjoy these images as much as we do.
Google AI Overview
The plant pictured appears to be Cubanola domingensis, commonly known as the Dominican bellflower or tree lily. It is a small tree or shrub in the coffee family (Rubiaceae), native and endemic to the Dominican Republic.
[any confirmation or correction will be appreciated]
It is a small, tropical tree native to the Dominican Republic and Cuba.
The plant produces white or greenish bell-shaped flowers that are highly fragrant, with a scent often described as being like warm chocolate.
It is part of the coffee family, Rubiaceae.
The flowers attract pollinators such as moths
This plant is noted for its attractive, long, off-white to greenish, trumpet-shaped flowers that hang downward and emit a sweet fragrance, especially at night. It is sometimes confused with the Brugmansia genus (angel's trumpet), which also has large, hanging flowers but belongs to a different family (Solanaceae) and is highly toxic. Cubanola domingensis is often grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical gardens.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubanola_domingensis
Cubanola domingensis, or campanita, are small trees in the family Rubiaceae—which includes coffee, among other genera—endemic to the Dominican Republic. The plant is known for its downward-facing, trumpet-like blossoms.
Cubanola dominguensis—also known as 'campanita criolla', or 'little creole bell', in Spanish—is an endemic species to the Dominican Republic, on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (to the east of Haiti). Normally growing at lower elevations near the sea, it has been documented in many locations around the Dominican Republic
It is a perennial plant, which means that the plant lives for more than two years. Cubanola dominguensis grows in shrubs or small trees. It produces a white, tan, greenish flowers, and they usually blossom repeatedly. These are also fragrant flowers, they say they smell like warm chocolate. This plant can also be dangerous if ingested because it can be poisonous.
We took an all-day photography tour with Oahu Photography Tour. It was a lot of fun. I recommend it highly.
Our second stop was at Waimea Valley Botanical Garden.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waimea_Valley
Waimea Valley is an area of historic cultural significance on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The valley, being an important place in Hawaiian religion, includes several historical structures including stone terraces and walls constructed during the time of the Hawaiian monarchy. The nutrient-rich volcanic soil combined with a rainy environment provided the resourceful Hawaiians of the area the opportunity to create one of the most prosperous farming communities in all of Polynesia. The area had complex fish ponds, domesticated animal pens, various large farming beds, and was famous for the cultivation of pink taro root stock, a coveted item to the Ali`i (the Hawaiian elite).[1][2] Much of the garden floor was once cultivated for taro, sweet potato, and bananas, with new crops and orchards introduced by Europeans after their arrival.
Formerly known as the Waimea Valley Audubon Center and the Waimea Arboretum and Botanical Garden, the Waimea Valley is a historical nature park including botanical gardens. It is located at 59-864 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii and is open daily except for Christmas and New Year's Day; an admission fee is charged.

Abutilon plants are showy perennials with maple-like leaves and bell-shaped flowers. They are often called Chinese lanterns because of the papery blossoms. Another common name is flowering maple, because of the lobed leaves. Their delicate, lantern-like blooms open in spring and continue right through to autumn, profusely covering the graceful, slender branches in cheerful single and bi-coloured shades of red, orange and yellow, as well as white, pink and lilac. And when not in flower, the handsome, evergreen maple-like foliage provides the garden with year-round appeal. 6285
