Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. To avoid damage from pollinating beetles, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are extremely tough. The flowers are bisexual with numerous adnate carpels and stamens are arranged in a spiral fashion on the elongated receptacle. The natural range of Magnolia species is a disjunct distribution, with a main center in east and southeast Asia and a secondary center in eastern North America, Central America, the West Indies, and some species in South America. 35028
All of her lovers all talk of her notes
And the flowers that they never sent
And wasn't she easy?
Isn't she pretty in pink?

Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m tall. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are about 300 species and around 3,000 hybrids. Their flowers are usually large and conspicuous, one to 12 cm in diameter, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias. The colors of the flowers vary from white through pink colors to red. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. 36024

"Pretty woman, walkin' down the street
Pretty woman the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy
Pretty woman won't you pardon me
Pretty woman I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Pretty woman stop awhile
Pretty woman talk awhile
Pretty woman give your smile to me
Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman look my way
Pretty woman say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight
Pretty woman don't walk on by
Pretty woman don't make me cry
Pretty woman don't walk away, hey, OK
If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
Is she walkin' back to me?
Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman."

The poppy blossom in the Waldviertel in beautiful Lower Austria was on my photo bucket list for a long time. So my friend and I spontaneously decided to make a trip there for sunset. This sunset was almost magical and wrapped the delicate poppies in a warm light.
Mr L bought me some lovely flowers in gorgeous autumn colours and nestled hidden in the middle was this pink Gerbera. Very pretty in its own right but clashing badly with the rest. So Miss odd one out got taken out and put in her own vase. Thanks for viewing and have a lovely Sunday 💕
Still not many butterflies around. This year I'm even excited if I see a common cabbage white butterfly in the garden. This one was feeding on my woodland sage (Salvia nemorosa). A few moments later it narrowly escaped the Dragon's claws and teeth.
Some people think Wood Storks are ugly. They resent how they move into the rookery and usurp the tree islands, crowding out the Great Blues and Anhinga who had settled in prior to this pushy intrusion. And that noisy sex that goes on all the time, that clashing of bills drawing attention to what, I should think we would all agree, be done in private, or at least in the darkness of night. Well, I for one am deeply offended. Yet, when I look at this bird, I can’t help but seeing its inner beauty. Yes, I’m a closet Wood Stork lover. There should be help for folk like me, but to hell I say, I’m coming out of the closet and will embrace my affliction without shame! (And, let me just add, this is no laughing matter.)

I have finally bought a new Catwa head. I have been in love with my Lona head, and have yet to find one to compare to it. Well yesterday I demoed the Keme head and bought it this morning and made some minor tweaks. So here is the new me, in what I have to say a pic I really enjoyed making and I really like the way it came out. So be sure to pop on over to my blog where you can get all the details.. justapeeksite.wordpress.com/2018/02/17/peek-87/
I spotted this pretty and colourful display of flowers on a day out in Ironbridge Shropshire, I'm not to sure what they are called though!
Thank you for the lovely comment's and favourites my friends...
