The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Hielan coo) is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.

Look to the weeds
and find the beauty hidden within them." -

The fringes round the heart of this Field gentian (Gentianella campestris) are one of its characteristics, along with its four petals. The butterflies and bees that can get the honey out of these flowers, need to have a really long tongue!
In Austria, this gentian can be found in the provinces Steiermark (Styria), Tirol (the Tyrol) and Vorarlberg, where I spotted it near the Kanzelwand. It is a protected plant although it can occur in larger numbers in certain areas.

Another picture of the fringed Willowherb flowers from the garden.
I think they're more of a weed, but I think they're so delicate and pretty.

This pretty wildflower loves to grow in damp, shady conditions. I'd never seen one before until this past summer.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're so appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

To the Fringed Gentian
- William Cullen Bryant 1794-1878)-
Thou Blossom bright with autumn dew,
And coloured with the heavens own blue,
That openest when the quiet light
Succeeds the keen and frosty night.
Thou comest not when violets lean
Ore wandering brooks and springs unseen,
Or columbines in purple dressed,
Nod oer the ground-birds nest,
Thou waitest late and comest alone,
When woods are bare and birds are flown,
And frosts and shortening days portend
The aged year is near his end.
Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye
Look through its fringes to the sky,
Blue....blue... as if the sky let fall
A flower from its cerulean wall.
I would that thus, when I shall see
The hour of death draw near to me,
Hope, blossoming within my heart,
May look to heaven as I depart.
White-fringed weevils are an informal species group within a much larger genus Naupactus and their native range is southern South America.
Invasive here in Australia, now pests of agricultural crops.
Adults feed on the foliage of hundreds of plant species. Larvae feed on roots and their damage is more serious, especially on crops or young pines in plantations and nurseries.

I started out intending to shoot a still life, but when I laid this throw down to be the background for the still life, it became my focus.
Fringed bluestar, Amsonia ciliata, seen on the trail...
"The blue star plant grows 15-24 inches tall. The leaves are borne singly, but very close together all the way up the stem to the flower cluster. They are 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long, with one vein running lengthwise down the center and attached directly to the main stem (without a petiole). The leaves are smooth, soft, and slightly smaller toward the upper part of the stem. The narrow tube of the pale blue flower, 1/2 inch long, opens into 5 petal-like lobes in a star shape l/2 inch across, with a ring of white at the center. Several blossoms grow in a loose cluster at the tips of the stems."
One of my favorites planted a number of years ago and still going strong. I found a few that haven't been damaged by frost.
