I bought quite a few daylilies and oriental lilies this spring so here is one of them. It's quite the happy sight for the garden. We've had heavy rain about each day for a few hours only so I have a lot of weeding to do.
Every now and then, there is a wild rose with such deep intense color, among the 'regular' bubblegum pink. Sometimes there will also be an almost white rose. Funny thing is, they can all be on the same plant.

Broad-leaved Helleborine / epipactis helleborine. Cromford, Derbyshire. 19/07/18.
An image I made last year when I saw my first Broad-leaved Helleborines in Derbyshire. Whilst delighting in their subtle flower colour variations, I remember being blown away by the vast numbers of small invertebrates attracted to these orchids. Some were literally heaving with life ...
The flowers gradually open from the base upwards. When I took the photograph, the lower flowers were well past their prime, those in the middle section were newly open and in their prime. There were about nine buds at the top that were yet to open.
Amid the flowers and clinging to stems, were lots of small blackfly feeding on plant sap. They in turn had attracted ants, (unknown sp ?) who were feeding on the honeydew being excreted by them. A short food chain in microcosm and fascinating to observe for a while.

Pyramidal Orchid / anacamptis pyramidalis. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 20/06/20.
I've never seen Pyramidal Orchids growing at Lindrick Common on any of my previous visits, so to find at least 25 plants was a treat this year. They were well distributed around the rough meadow grassland, their vibrant colours making them quite conspicuous. The majority of spikes I looked at closely were in near prime condition, surprising as it seemed rather late in their flowering season. This group of three looked particularly attractive amid the green vegetation. Check out some of the long, tubular spurs that are visible if the image is viewed large.

Broad-leaved Helleborine / epipactis helleborine. Cromford, Derbyshire. 19/07/18.
This BLH was the most beautiful shade of purple … the colours are very variable. When I got down very close to the flowers I could appreciate their translucency when the sun struck them. I remember that‘s what this image was all about in it‘s making. Looking at it again has reminded me of stained glass and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Taken at the David Austin Rose Gardens and Nursery at Albrighton, Shropshire, England on a cold, wet and windy day.
Thanks to everyone who has visited. I really appreciate the kind comments and faves which have been left.
Happy day of the flowers!

FELIZ QUINTA FLOR! HAPPY THURSDAY FLOWER!
So excited - my bare root roses all seem to be thriving, here is the first bud (and it smells wonderful). The fragrant garden is my aim, vanilla scented nemesia, jasmine, honeysuckle, sweet alyssum and now roses seem to be hitting the spot.
A small bumblebee about to leave a flower of the beartongue, Penstemon "Garnet". Thanks to bego vega for correcting the identification. The bee had crawled right into the tubular flower.

I was trying to capture bees in flight so I took the photo at 1/1600 sec but the light was far from perfect so I used a high ISO (4000). Consequently, the photo was quite grainy. I used the Define 2 filter (Nik Filters) to reduce background noise.

Thank you for visiting! I really appreciate the generous comments and faves.

'PROVIDING A SERVICE.'
The Broad-leaved Helleborine is irresistible to Common Wasps and other insects because of it's nectar and the smell of raw meat it emits. The insect visitors get lured in, possibly associating the smell of meat with a sugary treat!
A Broad-leaved Helleborine's pollinia is cleverly designed to stick to the head of a Common Wasp as it delves deeper inside a flower. It is thought that wasps become incapable of brushing off pollinia because they get too intoxicated with traces of narcotics contained in the nectar. Thus, they career from flower to flower in a somewhat clumsy manner and in doing so, provide a pollination service.
I made this image last year. It shows a Common Wasp that had just arrived on a flower seeking nectar. Between it's antenna you can see the (out of focus) yellow form of a pollinia at the front of it's head. It had inadvertently collected this from another flower.

Het is echt lente: de schoenlappersplant bloeit ook al weer.
It's spring: the bergenia flowers already.
Yay, today's Error 502 issue has now been fixed and Flickr can be accessed once again.
Monday, 13 January 2020: our temperature at around noon is -26C (windchill -36C). It may well have been a degree or two colder, earlier - yes, it got down to -38C! Sunrise is at 8:34 am, sunset at 4:55 pm. We have been in a brutal, dangerous deep freeze over the weekend and it is forecast to continue all this week. Temperatures not to mess with - if you don't absolutely have to go out, be wise and stay home. It amazes me that schools have not closed down. We will all be so relieved when this frigid spell is over.
Warm colour is definitely needed today, so I am finally getting round to posting a few more images from my archives. I put them aside when I was going through old photo folders to back-up and delete.
This photo was taken at the Reader Rock Garden on 27 April 2016, when I called in after a volunteer shift. These Hellebore flowers are so beautiful and I was happy to see that a couple of the flowers were growing so that I could just see the inside of the flower. Usually, the flower heads are hanging down more. I didn't realize, or had forgotten, that this plant bloomed so early in the year.
"Commonly known as hellebores /ˈhɛlᵻbɔərz/, the Eurasian genus Helleborus comprises approximately 20 species of herbaceous or evergreen perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, within which it gave its name to the tribe of Helleboreae. The scientific name Helleborus derives from the Greek name for H. orientalis, ἑλλέβορος helléboros, from elein "to injure" and βορά borá "food". Many species are poisonous. Despite names such as "winter rose", "Christmas rose" and "Lenten rose", hellebores are not closely related to the rose family (Rosaceae).

Seen at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, a five-and-a-half-acre urban collection of 16 residentially scaled gardens located in Tucson, Arizona -- truly a lush and tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. (13-03-13-2016b)
From October through April, it also includes one of Tucson’s favorite annual events – Butterfly Magic! Inside a tropical greenhouse, visitors can wander the paths, surrounded by exotic and even rare butterflies from around the world, plus many beautiful varieties of orchids.

'WAITING IN THE SHADOWS ... THE BEST YET TO COME.'
The unmistakable form of a newly emerging Broad-leaved Helleborine in an image I made last summer. Several of it's buds were just visible and the hairy 'fuzziness' of the drooping raceme was highlighted where the light struck it.

The photo was taken in the morning after a heavy dew.
The flowers open fully at night. This flower is closing. The anther filaments and the style are curling back into the flower. The flower will not open again.
