IMPATIENS WALLERIANA

  

La Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) è originaria dell’Africa tropicale (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambico, Tanzania e Zimbabwe) dove cresce nelle foreste costiere e lungo le rive dei fiumi in zone umide ed ombrose.

Il nome del genere è il termine latino “impatiens” = impaziente, con riferimento alle capsule che si aprono di scatto disseminando i semi; la specie è dedicata al missionario britannico Horace Waller (1833-1896).

IMPATIENS WALLERIANA

  

Impatiens walleriana Hook. f. (1868) is native to tropical Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe) where it grows in coastal forests and along the banks of rivers in humid and shady areas.

The name of the genus is the Latin term "impatiens" = impatient, with reference to the capsules that open suddenly, scattering the seeds; the species is dedicated to the British missionary Horace Waller (1833-1896).

Caption works best if you read this one first ; ) Female Adder (Vipera berus)

getting harder to see them now the vegetation is growing up and the temperatures are rising, so it was nice to see this young female in overcast conditions.

Coccothrinax salvatoris black and white. I posted a color version of this photo a few days ago but I think it works well as a black and white image.

Nostalgic memories of a VERY short summer

They are heirloom chicken eggs. I bought them because I think the colors are beautiful. Don't know what they taste like yet.

für Freunde die sich der Kindergeschichte erinnern :

Die Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt

"Es war einmal ein kleines Ei,

das lag auf einem grünen Blatt.

Eine Raupe klein

wohnte darin fein

und die wollte ganz schnell raus

 

Es wurde ihr darin zu eng.

Sie stieß sich aus dem Ei geschwind.

Und sie krabbelt schnell.

Und sie krabbelt flink.

Denn der Hunger war sehr groß.

 

Sie begann mit einem grünen Blatt,

doch das macht sie noch lang nicht satt.

Und sie krabbelt schnell.

Und sie krabbelt flink.

Denn der Hunger war sehr groß.

 

Am Montag fraß sie einen Apfel,

Dienstag dann die Birnen.

Mittwoch Pflaumentag,

oh, wie sie das mag.

Doch der Hunger ging nicht weg.

 

Die Erdberr'n kamen Donnerstag,

Orangen dann am Freitag.

Samstag Kuchentag

Sonntag war sie satt.

Und der Hunger war gestillt.

 

Da baute sie sich schnell ein Haus,

Kokon kannst du auch sagen.

Zwei Wochen lang

schlief sie tief und fest

in diesem Kokon.

 

Doch was war da geschehen?

Heraus kam keine Raupe mehr.

Ein Schmetterling!

Ein Schmetterling!

Ein Schmetterling flog raus.

This gorgeous shrub is now putting on it's Autumn dress. The little fruits are a fluorescent orange. The colors are much more intense this year.

This tree was struck by lightning yesterday evening. Amazing how it just ripped the bark off this entire trunk! Gave me a good reason to take my infrared camera out for a walk:)

Vanilla planifolia vine. I find it very ironic that "vanilla" has become synonymous "plain" and dare I say boring? Vanilla is exotic in so many ways. For starters, it is an orchid. But it is not just any orchid. The seed pods are the source for vanilla extract which is an amazing flavoring commonly used in ice cream, cookies and cakes. It has even been used as a perfume. The orchid family is huge but very few of them are vines. I love the regular pattern this Vanilla vine zigzags up this tree. So even when it is not in bloom, Vanilla planifolia is anything but vanilla.
