Thalictrum delavayi Hewitt's Double
Chinese Meadow Rue Hewitt’s Double
A fairly new introduction, but already a classic, Thalictrum delavayi Hewitt's Double is herbaceous perennial with a rather lax, upright habit. The mid-green leaves are lacy and divided into three rounded leaflets, delicate and very attractive, reminiscent of maidenhair fern. Flower buds like little mauve raindrops on branched, airy stems open to little, mauve, double, rosette-like flowers with a yellow eye. Looks lovely spaced along a border of blue, purple and pink flowers. It can flop a little, but usually other plants will hold it up.
The leaves are commonly glaucous blue-green in colour. The flowers are small and are apetalous; in other words they have no petals. They have have numerous long stamens, often brightly white, yellow, pink or pale purple, and are produced in conspicuous dense inflorescences. In some species the sepals are large, brightly coloured and petal-like, but in most they are small and fall when the flower opens or soon after.

Officially called Silktree but more commonly known as Mimosa, this naturalized small ornamental tree from China is common in edge habitats, such as along roadsides, beside parking lots, and bordering powerlines. The twice-compound leaves with many fine leaflets and pink powderpuff flowers are very distinctive.
...Let it be! They don't have to be shiny. They don't have to be red. But these new leaflets are both. Regular walkers here know there is plenty of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) growing alongside this path overlooking the sea. You couldn't be blamed for starting to itch just looking at it.
Thanks for all visits, comments & Favs!
I would be greatful if you follow me in flickr
Have a nice day! :)

Newly unwrapped palm frond is uncurling its myriad of leaflets. It's part of a small, low palm that recently got a brand new set of fronds which rose from the center of the stem like a knot of finger-thick snakes. They are now unfurling, looking very frond-like, but do not yet have their needle sharp spines.

One more of the series of shots from the Museum. This one was a bit tricky though. I had light coming directly on the leaf from the other end, as in direct sunlight. I had to move away to face the tree truck but then now i ended up with lesser light. Cheap Canon lenses are not all that sharp unless you go smaller than f/7.1.
Finally i switched to manual, went to F/11 and fired the flash from the Canon Speedlite 430EX to evenly light up these leaves. Interestingly i'm getting to see how light has DoF here. The background from the leaves seems to have been darkened out in the bokeh.
Looks good on large

This photograoh was taken nearly six weeks after my previous uploaded photograph of these hellebore flowers growing in our garden. If anything, I think that they look even more beautiful now than when in full flower - please see first comment box for full flowering photograph.
This particular variety is also known as Stinking Hellebore (Helleborus foetidus) and is an evergreen perennial to 60cm with erect stems, and leaves palmately divided leaves narrow dark green leaflets. Nodding, usually purple-edged, pale green flowers to 2cm in width are borne in large open clusters from late winter.
The flowers, typically for the family, contain numerous stamens as well as up to ten nectaries which make them attractive to bees and other insects. Each flower produces up to five (usually three) wrinkled follicles. Despite its common name, it is not noticeably malodorous, although the foliage is pungent when crushed.
All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing glycosides. Symptoms of intoxication include violent vomiting and delirium.
Yeasts colonise the nectaries of stinking hellebore and their presence has been found to raise the temperature of the flower, which may aid in attracting pollinators to the flower by increasing the evaporation of volatile organic compounds. It was the first species in which this effect was discovered.
Sindy is more than a fashion doll; she's part of an enchanting, make-believe world.
And so right they are.
This Active Sindy is a prototype and the ones actually sold were slightly different, both doll and ballet outfit.
I came across this shrub on my walk today - was intrigued by the shape of these leaflets.
