A herbaceous perennial plant which spreads out with its extensive creeping rhizomes and which will flower from late spring and early to mid summer. Some people commonly use St Johns Wort for depression and mood disorders as this plant contains chemicals that act on messengers in the brain that regulate mood and has been used in folk medicine over centuries and is still commercially cultivated to this day. As this plant is commonly harvested at the time of the summer solstice in late June around St Johns Feast Day on the 24th June this is how this plant got its name St Johns Wort.

"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.
A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. 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 northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 34552
Blossoming right now in the yard.
Erysimum ‘Bowles’ Mauve’
A shrubby, upright growing selection that does best in mild-winter regions. Handsome grey-green leaves set off the profuse clusters of fragrant, mauve flowers. This wallflower blooms over a long season, sometimes all winter in warm coastal areas. Plants develop a woody base and should be sheared back to 6 inches in midsummer to promote fall flowering and maintain a compact habit. In colder winter regions this performs best as a container plant, brought indoors to a cool bright area in late fall. Drought tolerant once established. Attractive to butterflies. Evergreen.
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.

Nymphoides crenata, commonly known as wavy marshwort, is an aquatic perennial herb of the family Menyanthaceae endemic to Australia, found in all mainland states and the Northern Territory. It is a stoloniferous, floating, perennial with stems up to 3 m long. The petioles of the basal leaves are from 8–42 cm long. The leaf lamina are ovate to circular, and deeply cordate and vary from 3 to 15 cm in length. The stem leaves are smaller, and sometimes kidney-shaped. The flowers heterostylous, (see the gallery) and there can be from 8 to14 in clusters subtended by 1–4 stem leaves, or sometimes in spaced pairs along a short inflorescence. The calyx is from 5.5 to 16 mm long and the corolla from 20 to 50 mm in diameter. There are usually 4 lobes (sometimes 4 or 6) and there are usually 5 stigmas (but from 2-5). It grows on floodplains, in swamps, lagoons, irrigation channels, and also in temporarily inundated depressions, and in slow-flowing streams where the depth of the water is up to about 1.5 m deep, usually on mud, and it will persist on drying mud. 13171
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.

Having perennial flowers in one's garden is a treat. A few years ago my Yarrow flowers had abundant blooms. However, this year's Heat Dome heat wave seemed to have shriveled even my hardiest flowers. Being the eternal optimist, hope springs eternal for better days ahead.

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

Osteospermum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Calenduleae, one of the smaller tribes of the sunflower/daisy family Asteraceae. They are known as the daisybushes or African daisies. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. Osteospermum used to belong to the genus Dimorphotheca, but only the annual species remain in that genus; the perennials belong to Osteospermum. It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. They are half-hardy perennials or sub-shrubs. 35951
On October 1, 2020 I traveled to the Highland Restaurant at the Eagle Ridge Territory outside Galena, Illinois where I knew there were beautiful flower gardens outside. I had just gotten a new Canon Camera with multiple lenses I wanted to try out. Photo Images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs(VLP & Designs).

These lovely roses were taken in our garden this summer 2024.
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.

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!!
Lots of Snowdrops around at the moment, these are from our local churchyard today.
Galanthus, snowdrop is a small genus of approximately 20 species of bulbous perennial herbaceous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae.

Saxifraga rotundifolia (Saxifragaceae) 165 23
Saxifraga rotundifolia, common name round-leaved saxifrage, is a flowering herb and alpine plant of the genus Saxifraga.
It can reach a height of 20–50 centimeters. This perennial herbaceous plant has fleshy leaves arranged in dense basal rosette. They are petiolate, dark green, hairy, simple, rounded or almost heart-shaped, bordered by numerous triangular notches. The flowering stems are erect, pubescent, branched at the top, bearing narrow panicles of star-shaped flowers. These flowers have five lanceolate petals, usually white with numerous minute pink-purple specks. They bloom from April to August.
This species is present in the central and southern Europe in the Iberian Peninsula, the Alps and the Balkans and prefers shady forests, damps, cliffs, stony soils and margins of streams at elevation of 700–2,200 meters above sea level.

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.
