The flowers of this cactus are very large, showy, mostly white-pink in color, variously shaded and fragrant. They bloom at night and wilt by day.
This is my 'Firefighter' hybrid tea-rose.
Growing in my garden here in Sydney, but dedicated to LA.
'Firefighter' is one of the most fragrant hybrid tea-roses in the world. Easily the equal of 'Mr Lincoln' and 'Papa Meilland'.
But this one today is special. it is dedicated to everyone in LA who is suffering through the worst wildfires ever.
My 'Firefighter' rose is also for the people who have lost their lives, as well as the courageous firefighters that are - as I type this - risking their lives to save LA.
I lived in LA for over four years on Montana Avenue at Santa Monica. And that is a mere block or so from one of the evacuation zones. This must be absolutely terrifying for everyone there today: January 13th, 2025.

I love orchids and this variety regularly reaches 60 centimetres, which is quite impressive. In my previous photo you can see how tall it stands in its habitat.
A bunch of violets blooming in the park :)
Wood violet, sweet violet, common violet or garden violet (Viola odorata) is a species of flowering plant in the viola family, native to Europe and Asia. It has been introduced into North America and Australia. It blooms from March to April. The species can be found near the edges of forests or in clearings; it is also a common "uninvited guest" in shaded lawns or elsewhere in gardens. In herbal medicine violets has been used for a variety of respiratory ailments, insomnia and skin disorders. Flowers are also edible and used as food additives for instance in salad, made into jelly, and candied for decoration. The sweet scent of this flower has popular, particularly in the late Victorian period, so this plant has been used in the production of many cosmetic fragrances and perfumes.

A pure white variety of the Common Fragrant-orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea var. albiflora) is not as common as its pink-purplish relatives. We spotted only one single specimen amongst plenty of pink-purplish flowers of Common Fragrant-orchids or Chalk Fragrant-orchids as they often called due to their preference to thrive on chalk grasslands. This orchid wasn’t particularly tall (under 4 inches) but most of the plants were relatively short anyway. Selsley Common. Gloucestershire; England, UK.
Thank you for your visit, favour and comment, much appreciated.
Bought a packet of seeds in the spring, enough to fill about six tubs with clouds of tiny fragrant flowers. Sweet Alyssum fills the garden with a scent a bit like warm honey on a sunny afternoon. A winner with me and also loved by the insects.
'Smell' for 'Macro Mondays'
Thank you for your views, faves and comments.

I've gone to Kyoto last weekend.
Whenever going there, I wish to live in the beautiful ancient city.

There were a lot of lily of the valley flowers, so in the forest was beautiful smell. walking there was absolutely fantastic :)
Cały las był pełen kwitnących konwalii i wszędzie czuć było ten ich piękny zapach. Spacerowało się jak w bajce :)
As I’m playing catch-up here I have quite a few spring images to post. I had a wonderful time amongst the wild garlic even if I was a bit late to the party. Such an aromatic plant although you soon lose the smell in the realm of creativity. A wonderful little pathway, leading me to this spot with the help of Stuart East. Very generous of him to share it with me.
Gymnadenia conopsea (Mückenhändelwurz, fragrant orchid) Aflenzer Bürgeralm, Steiermark, Austria. Their fragrance is not as intense as the neighbouring nigritellas.
