"I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass, and tries to correct the error."
While weeding my flower garden, I noticed this perennial flower has returned. Of course, so have the various weeds and grasses. I can hardly wait to photograph this plant in all of its lovely stages. It is one of those plants that bring me pleasure, no matter the season.
Yarrow reaches for the sky on a November morning. There's many types of yarrow, all growing wild around here. But this variety is my favorite. It grows in bushes, is tall, sturdy, and the dried flowers stay on to provide cheerful color all winter long.

A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.

A perennial.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups.
Annual tradition of mass destruction
In the name of total reconstruction
My biggest source of confusion
The reason of decay and disillusion
Oh, wonderful Lobelia,
Born in the high Mount Kenya
Your Flowers are some lovely Chimes
Which sing not only during Nights
But are of Beauty in their Colours
Which do attract not only Lovers
You catch the Dew Drops in the Morning
Before another Day is dawning

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette.

Gravilat belongs to the pink family. In total, there are about 50 species of this plant in the world. A person grows about 20 varieties for his own purposes. They are found in Europe, Africa and even the Australian continent. Gravilat is a perennial herbaceous crop. It is used to treat various diseases. The plant was first described by the Greeks in medical treatises.
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. Narcissus has conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow, with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. Narcissus were well known in ancient civilisation, both medicinally and botanically, but formally described by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum. The genus is generally considered to have about ten sections with approximately 50 species. The number of species has varied, depending on how they are classified, due to similarity between species and hybridisation. The genus arose some time in the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene epochs, in the Iberian peninsula and adjacent areas of southwest Europe. Wikipedia
I can't remember what flowers these day. I planted these last spring and was sure they were not going to survive the winter in the raise flower bed I built, but I was wrong no only did they survive, they are thriving!!

Salvia nemorosa, the woodland sage, Balkan clary, blue sage or wild sage, is a hardy herbaceous perennial plant native to a wide area of central Europe and Western Asia.
It is an attractive plant that is easy to grow and propagate, with the result that it has been passed around by gardeners for many years. Its wide distribution, long history, and the ease with which it hybridizes have resulted in many cultivars and hybrids—along with problems in clearly identifying the hybrids and their relationship with S. nemorosa. It was named and described by Carl Linnaeus in 1762, with nemorosa ("of woods") referring to its typical habitat in groves and woods.
In northern Britain, Salvia nemorosa and Salvia pratensis are both in danger of disappearing due to depredation from slugs.
The many inflorescences have closely spaced whorls of small flowers with brightly colored calyces.

This autumn feels like funeral to me
The longest song of grief
And not for what has passed
But for what shall last… Tatiana Shmailyuk
This crocosmia Lucifer perennial was here when we moved to this house almost exactly eight years ago in July. When it blooms in July in the protected corner of the entryway. I look forward to its arrival.
Not only for the unique way it grows or its hues, but because the crocosmia marks the middle of the year: Now we head to cooler months, perhaps, and rain! I saw fog this morning at 5-ish. Beautiful.

* Note: The time is wrong for this long-unused camera. It should read an hour later on exif data. I took this just before sunset.
We stand here not to escape the universe, but to find ourselves within it.
Side by side, backs to the room and faces to the stars, we let the vastness breathe around us. Beyond the glass, nebulae burn softly and galaxies exhale light into the dark, a view few ever see, and fewer still understand.
In this stillness, we see each other clearly.
She carries light in her stillness, a quiet resolve shaped by compassion rather than anger. He bears the weight of countless decisions, each measured not by victory, but by consequence. Where one of us sees what can be healed, the other sees what must be defended. Alone, we would have failed. Together, we endure.
Everything outside us is loud, opinions, doubts, interruptions that try to name our love or pull it apart. There are setbacks. There always are. Moments where peace feels fragile and harmony is tested by hands that do not belong in our story.
But we keep choosing each other.
We have learned that love is not untouched by conflict, it survives it. That peace is not silence, but staying when it would be easier to walk away. Justice, for us, is meeting each other with honesty and care, even when it hurts.
Nothing stands between us.
Not the noise.
Not the distance.
Not envy.
Not careless words.
Not the storms.
We remain, quietly, steadily and that is our strength.
