Spring has finally sprung in Melbourne, and with a few mild and sunny days and some recent heavy rain, the gardens of Melbourne\'s suburbs have awoken from their winter slumbers and burst into an array of beautiful colours in many different floral forms. Whilst on a walk a few weeks ago, I happened to notice a beautiful Arrowwood blossom overhanging the footpath above my head.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a monthly challenge called “Freestyle On The Fifth”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each month, and the image is to be posted on the 5th of the month.
This month the theme, “looking up” was chosen by Di (PhotosbyDi).
I thought that this Arrowwood blossom ball was perfect for the theme.
Arrowwood is a deciduous, medium to large sized shrub with green leaves that are greyish beneath. Clusters of pink buds open to sweetly scented white flowers in spring.
Viburnum carlesii, 2019 photo, Common Name: Koreanspice Viburnum, Size: 8x5, White, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 5a, In Garden Bed j2.4 for 4.8 YEARS (Lowe). Planted in 2014.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Viburnum carlesii commonly called Koreanspice viburnum is a slow-growing, upright, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically matures to 4-5' tall but may reach a height of 8' in optimum growing conditions. Red buds open in late March/early April to pink-changing-to-white flowers which are arranged in snowball-like clusters (hemispherical cymes) to 3" across. Flowers are very fragrant. Flowers give way to non-showy, berry-like drupes which mature to blue-black in late summer. Broad ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 4" long) are infrequently flushed with copper. Foliage usually turns dull red in fall, but may sometimes display attractive shades of wine-red to burgundy.
Specific epithet honors William Richard Carles (c. 1867-1900) of the British consular service in China who collected plants in Korea.

Imagine a world bathed in twilight, where shadows dance and the familiar hues soften into ethereal shades. In this hushed ambiance, a vibrant splash of color emerges – a Red Admiral butterfly, its wings unfurled like a banner of courage. Its velvety black canvas is adorned with bold strokes of crimson and ivory, a masterpiece painted by nature itself. The butterfly is locked in a delicate embrace with a cluster of pristine white flowers, their petals whispering secrets to the wind. The contrast between the butterfly's fiery hues and the flower's ethereal purity is a breathtaking spectacle. Yet, there's an undercurrent of fragility, a sense of time suspended in this fleeting moment. As the sun begins its return, casting elongated shadows that distort reality, the butterfly remains steadfast, a beacon of life amidst the cosmic drama. It's a testament to the enduring spirit of nature, a reminder that even in the face of celestial change, beauty and resilience prevail.
During the solar eclipse, this scene takes on an even more dramatic and ethereal quality. The dimming light casts an otherworldly glow on the landscape, highlighting the butterfly's vibrant colors and the delicate beauty of the flowers. The eclipse creates a sense of awe and wonder, as if nature itself is holding its breath in anticipation of the celestial spectacle.
The Red Admiral butterfly, with its wings outstretched like a dancer, becomes a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of this extraordinary event. Its presence reminds us that even in the midst of darkness and change, life continues to flourish and adapt. It's a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places, and that even in the face of adversity, there is always something to celebrate.
The Korean Spice Viburnum, with its fragrant white flowers, adds a touch of elegance and refinement to this already stunning scene. Its presence evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, inviting us to pause and appreciate the delicate intricacies of nature. It's a reminder that even the smallest details can contribute to the overall beauty of a scene, and that even in the midst of the most dramatic events, there is always something to be grateful for.
The butterfly, facing the eclipse, seems to share in the wonder and awe of this celestial spectacle. Its wings outstretched, it appears to be watching the event with us, as if it too is captivated by the beauty and mystery of the cosmos. This shared experience creates a sense of connection and unity, reminding us that we are all part of something much larger than ourselves.

It is impossible (for me) to describe the exotic and powerful fragrance of this flower. I have never spent any time learning to take good flower shots. This would be a perfect example of that.
