Fuchsia hybrida is a species of shrub of the family of onagráceas. It is native to America.
***
Princess earring is a hybrid species obtained from South American fuchsia species, mainly Fuchsia corymbiflora Ruiz. & Pav., Fuchsia fulgens Moc. & Ses. and Fuchsia magellanica Lam.
Scientific Name: Fuchsia sp
Family: Onagracee.
In South America alone there are over 200 different species of princess earring, also known as fuchsia, tickle and tear.
Flower symbol of Rio Grande do Sul, is a plant that is a huge international success. It has many varieties, and both petals and sepals can be of different colors and shapes. The most common colors are red, pink, blue, violet and white, with various combinations, without blending. They rise practically all year round and attract hummingbirds as pollinators.
The branch is pending, but there may be variations, with upright and other pending plants. Should be grown preferably under half shade, some species enjoy full sun.
Its propagation occurs through seeds or by cutting the tips of its branches.
Although it has a great variety, there is a common trait among them all: they greatly appreciate the cold. Therefore, they are more common in places with mild climate. Easily found in the highest regions of Rio Grande do Sul, amid the Atlantic Forest.
Propagation can be either by seed or by cuttings. A curiosity about the origin of its scientific name. Fuchsia derives from the surname of the German physician and botanist Leonhart Fuchs, born in Wemding (1501/1566).
A sweat bee (left, family Halictid, genus Lassioglossum) follows a honey bee (right) to a spiderwort flower (Tradescantia occidentalis) with its distinctive purple frills decorating the filaments of the bright yellow stamen. Spiderworts were abundant on this hike on the trails at Rabbit Mountain Open Space north of Boulder Colorado.
then the light bulb went off.... and I shot the filament!! lol...
Which proves, there is always something to shoot!!
For the modern vs. vintage, I chose to shot a candle with flame for vintage along with the desk lamp connect to electric. For those few days that Broken Arrow and Tulsa was powerless the old candles and battery radio was nice to have.
Hippeastrum: Stamens with filaments (white) ending in anthers carrying pollen.
Although the 1987 decision settled the question of the scientific name of the genus, the common name "amaryllis" continues to be used. Bulbs sold as amaryllis and described as ready to bloom for the holidays belong to the genus Hippeastrum. "Amaryllis" is also used in the name of some societies devoted to the genus Hippeastrum. Separate common names are used to describe the genus Amaryllis, e.g., "Naked Lady"

The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, of which around 75 wild species are currently accepted and which belongs to the family Liliaceae.
The genus's native range extends west to the Iberian Peninsula, through North Africa to Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, throughout the Levant (Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan) and Iran, North to Ukraine, southern Siberia and Mongolia, and east to the Northwest of China. The tulip's centre of diversity is in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, and Tien Shan mountains. It is a typical element of steppe and winter-rain Mediterranean vegetation. A number of species and many hybrid cultivars are grown in gardens, as potted plants, or as cut flowers.
Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches (10 cm) and 28 inches (71 cm) high. The tulip's large flowers usually bloom on scapes with leaves in a rosette at ground level and a single flowering stalk arising from amongst the leaves.Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip's leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternately arranged on the stem; these fleshy blades are often bluish green in color. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scapes (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica). The generally cup or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked on the interior surface near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).
The flowers have six distinct, basifixed stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals. Each stigma has three distinct lobes, and the ovaries are superior, with three chambers. The tulip's seed is a capsule with a leathery covering and an ellipsoid to globe shape. Each capsule contains numerous flat, disc-shaped seeds in two rows per chamber. These light to dark brown seeds have very thin seed coats and endosperm that does not normally fill the entire seed.
Etymology
The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, entering the language by way of French: tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and may be ultimately derived from the Persian: دلبند‎ delband ("Turban"), this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.
Tulips are called laleh (from Persian لاله, lâleh) in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and Bulgarian. In Arabic letters, "laleh" is written with the same letters as Allah, which is why the flower became a holy symbol. It was also associated with the House of Osman, resulting in tulips being widely used in decorative motifs on tiles, mosques, fabrics, crockery, etc. in the Ottoman Empire
Cultivation
Tulip cultivars have usually several species in their direct background, but most have been derived from Tulipa suaveolens, often erroneously listed as Tulipa schrenkii. Tulipa gesneriana is in itself an early hybrid of complex origin and is probably not the same taxon as was described by Conrad Gesner in the 16th century.
Tulips are indigenous to mountainous areas with temperate climates and need a period of cool dormancy, known as vernalization. They thrive in climates with long, cool springs and dry summers. Tulip bulbs imported to warm-winter areas of are often planted in autumn to be treated as annuals.
Tulip bulbs are typically planted around late summer and fall, in well-drained soils, normally from 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) deep, depending on the type. Species tulips are normally planted deeper.
Propagation
Tulips can be propagated through bulb offsets, seeds or micropropagation. Offsets and tissue culture methods are means of asexual propagation for producing genetic clones of the parent plant, which maintains cultivar genetic integrity. Seeds are most often used to propagate species and subspecies or to create new hybrids. Many tulip species can cross-pollinate with each other, and when wild tulip populations overlap geographically with other tulip species or subspecies, they often hybridize and create mixed populations. Most commercial tulip cultivars are complex hybrids, and often sterile.
Offsets require a year or more of growth before plants are large enough to flower. Tulips grown from seeds often need five to eight years before plants are of flowering size. Commercial growers usually harvest the tulip bulbs in late summer and grade them into sizes; bulbs large enough to flower are sorted and sold, while smaller bulbs are sorted into sizes and replanted for sale in the future. The Netherlands are the world's main producer of commercial tulip plants, producing as many as 3 billion bulbs annually, the majority for export.

The sculpture is growing every week. So I plan to go back in a few weeks time to see how it is progressing :-).
Filaments - Hummingbirds are some of my favorite subjects. When I photograph a subject that I don't have to put too much effort to find, I instead like to challenge myself to capture something unique like behavior or detail. In this case, I headed out to the coast deliberately on a bright overcast day, as this lighting seems to bring out the iridescence of hummingbirds best, allowing me to capture maximum detail.
I had a blast photographing Allen's Hummingbirds for the first time with a mirrorless rig. What I didn't count on was taking over 3,000 pics unintentionally - 20 frames per second gives too many images in some cases. However, a benefit of that is you get every pose you could ask for. Was very happy to capture every single feather filament of this hummingbird!
