Broad-leaved Helleborine / epipactis helleborine. Cromford, Derbyshire. 19/07/18.
'ON YER 'EAD ...'
This Common Wasp had just landed on the B-lH flower. You can see that it had a pollinia stuck to it's head, collected inadvertently when it nectared inside another flower earlier that day.
In their quest for sugary nectar, Common Wasps provide an efficient pollination service - as well as look a little silly careering around wearing yellow head pieces!.

'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 day before yesterday, 30 March 2020, was a day I had been looking forward to - to finally finishing the huge task of sorting, editing and posting 1,161 photos from our amazing birding trip to South Texas in March 2019. Having spent exactly one year doing this, it feels rather strange to be digging into my archives for images to upload.
For each photo, I will use the same description that I added under a different, already posted image from the same day. Stay safe and stay well, everyone!

"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 (not this one). 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).
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.

wini für "Freund".
When I saw the blooms on the camellia, I recognized it immediately as a Purple Dawn. That was my daddy's favorite flower. Note the obvious presence of purple tinging the deep pink of the petals. Translucent light makes the pink glow, and emphasizes the darker tones. There is a family story behind this camellia, not this particular plant, but the one which my daddy planted years and years ago.
P. lactiflora cultivar, introduced by Auten, 1943; double bomb form, red, early midseason, approx. 36 - 48" (90 - 120 cm) tall, floriferous, very fragrant
Flowers are deep, old rose red colour; delicious, sweet fragrance; so tall that it stands over most other peonies; however, stiff, reddish stems hold flowers erect, so that no staking is needed; fine foliage; very good in warmer climates; good cut flower
Broad-leaved Helleborine / epipactis helleborine. Cromford, Derbyshire. 19/07/18.
Generally plants favouring dappled light or shaded woodland, this Broad-leaved Helleborine was typically growing under a Beech tree and took some searching for. Light striking parts of it‘s leaves and flowers helped me eventually pick it out among ferns and other vegetation. Like so many things though, once I got my eye in, the hunt for others becomes easier!
At the top of the raceme there was a dense gathering of Blackfly encircling the stem, feeding on plant sap. The aphids in turn, were being 'milked' for their honeydew by a species of ant. You can just about make this out by viewing the image large.

Latin name: Lupinus - Lupin
Thought I would bring a touch of floral colour to the mix so this was a Lupin in our garden, photographed in late Spring, in May this year.
Taken with my Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, and framed in Photoshop.

The Mandevilla or the "Brazilian Jasmine" flowers very well in Australia from September through to June. It is a climbing plant and very colourful.
There's something about the shape that makes you want to twirl the stem and brush the dust away ;o)

Broad-leaved Helleborine / epipactis helleborine. Cromford, Derbyshire. 19/07/18.
'DONE AND DUSTED.'
The Broad-leaved Helleborine is irresistible to Common Wasps because of it's nectar and because of the smell of raw meat that it emits. Wasps (and other insects) 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 nectar-seeking wasp as it crawls further across the lip of the flower. It is believed that wasps are incapable of brushing off pollinia from their heads, because they get too intoxicated with traces of narcotics in the nectar. Thus, they career from flower to flower in a somewhat clumsy manner and in doing so, provide a pollination service.
My image made last year, shows that the process described had occurred with this particular wasp. If viewed large, you can see a fine dusting of pollen as well as the pollinia stuck to the insect's head.

The Bromeliad is native to tropical America. The plant usually only flowers once, then it sends out new leaves to form a new plant, where the next flower grows. This plant likes to be watered in the centre or the tank.
