I was in the Princess of Wales Conservatory in Kew Gardens when I spotted these.....well, I could hardly miss them . These brilliant Cymbidiums seemed to dance before my very eyes , but then it was Boxing day ,after all !!!! Supreme beauties .
I hope the music cheers you up in these dire times, stay safe .
Today is a red letter day to celebrate for many reasons. Firstly, Catherine, the Princess of Wales has announced that her chemotherapy treatment is at an end after nine months, following abdominal surgery. Whilst her journey to healing continues on, this is a major milestone for her.
And thinking of milestones, it is Merrythought Bears’ 94th birthday. They are the last large scale manufacturer of soft toys in the United Kingdom. Britain only began manufacturing bears after hostilities broke out between them and Germany in 1914 at the outbreak of the Great War, as Germany was the main manufacturer of teddy bears in the world. Merrythought, who commenced operations on the 10th of September 1930 still hand craft the bears made in their original Shropshire factory.
Finally, I missed it by a few days, but the 9th of September marks National Teddy Bear Day: a day to honour the comfort and memories associated with teddy bears. The teddy bear is one of the most popular toys for children, and holds a special place in many adults hearts, too. This lovable stuffed animal has a day all of its own, National Teddy Bear Day. It gives a chance for people to get teddy out of the cupboard and make them the centre of attention. Of course if that is the case in my house it is National Teddy Bear Day, every day, so maybe it doesn’t matter that I am a few days late.
To celebrate these three wonderful things, I am proudly sharing with you for the first time, two very special limited edition bears that I acquired from Merrythought earlier in the year. May I present their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales!
Beautifully hand-crafted by Merrythought, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Teddy Bear has been carefully brought to life by their highly skilled team using the finest sandy-gold mohair plush and soft cotton velvet. His left paw has been embroidered with a golden crown design, whilst the handsome and noble persona of His Royal Highness is subtly captured by the bear’s deep blue eyes and hand-stitched smile. The detailed outfit is inspired by His Royal Highness’s official uniform as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, which he wears during ceremonial duties, and features a fully-lined scarlet tunic coat, with gold and white embroidered detailing, stud buttons and royal blue sash. A beautiful gold-plated, enamelled replica Order of the Garter Badge adorns the left breast of his tunic coat, whilst his outfit is completed with a gold-striped belt tied neatly around the waist. To finalise his stately attire, The Prince of Wales wears a replica wool felt Welsh Guard cap, embroidered in gold with the regiment's leek motif.
Honouring Her Royal Highness’s important role within the British Royal Family, and recognising her timeless beauty, the Merrythought team have hand-crafted Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales Teddy Bear from the finest soft-brown mohair and pure cotton velvet paws, upon which is embroidered a golden royal crown. She features deep brown eyes and a friendly hand-stitched smile, encapsulating Catherine’s kind nature, for which she is respected for around the world. Her Highness’ delicately designed outfit comprises a replica of a favourite cream coat and wide-brimmed hat that she has worn during several important occasions. Her sinamay hat features organza flower detail, whilst her fully-lined coat is adorned with a stunning gold-plated replica of the Three Feathers Brooch. The brooch itself has great significance, since it was originally gifted to Queen Alexandra in 1863 upon her marriage to the future King Edward VII when he was still the Prince of Wales. Featuring the iconic Prince of Wales's Feathers, the brooch has been passed down to each generation of the Royal Family and was regularly worn by Catherine’s late mother in law, Diana, the former Princess of Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are part of a 2024 limited edition release worldwide, and are both number 16.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!

The colourful Princess Parrot is an Australian bird of the parrot family. Its name was given in honour of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, who later married the Prince of Wales Edward VII and eventually became Queen of the United Kingdom. Other names for the species include: Queen Alexandra Parrot (or Parakeet), Alexandra's Parakeet, Princess of Wales Parakeet, Rose-throated Parakeet, and Spinifex Parrot.
This species is nomadic, arriving in small groups to breed and then disappearing. It is one of Australia’s least known parrots because it is so elusive, even though it is spread across the interior of Australia.
This bird is captive bred.

It’s a murky, drizzly day in London, but Kew Gardens – the Royal Botanic Gardens – always look wonderful whatever the weather.
The Pagoda in the background was completed in 1762 as a present for Princess Augusta (1719-72), founder of the Gardens. It was one of several Chinese buildings designed for Kew by Sir William Chambers, who had spent time travelling and studying the architecture of east Asia.
A popular ‘folly’ in its day, the Pagoda offered one of the earliest and finest bird’s eye views of London – which, thanks to a major restoration, can still be enjoyed today.
The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden.
"Diana, Princess of Wales" is a particularly beautiful rose, a fitting rose in keeping with its namesake. The rose was bred by the American rose breeder Keith Zary and released in 1998. Known in some countries as "Diana" and "Elegant Lady", "Diana, Princess of Wales" is a Hybrid Tea rose with blooms being a pleasant blend of pinks and creams. In warmer climates and as the bloom ages the pink colouration darkens. Roses come on long stems with classic Hybrid Tea form, making it ideal as a cut flower. After the death of the Princess of Wales in 1997, this rose was chosen after a worldwide search and given the name "Diana, Princess of Wales" and approved as a charity rose on behalf of the Estate of Diana, Princess of Wales 'to help disadvantaged people in poor and war-torn communities around the world' with part proceeds to 'The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund' to carry on her humanitarian charitable work.
The Fund closed at the end of 2012.
The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.

During a pit walk, I turned around to see Diana walking directly towards me. At the time I had an auto wind Canon that was taking an age to load the film and I thought I had lost the opportunity. I was standing swearing at my Camera when she walked straight passed me, and as I raised my camera, she just turned and looked back over her shoulder.
August 31st is her 18th death anniversary. Photo was a coincidence on the deck of #QueenMaryShip. #LongBeach. This pigeon sat there in front #LadyDiana massive wall portrait. It was an eerie feeling that her freedom has survived through this pigeon as it represents so many of us who remembers her great deeds for humanity, impoverished children and disadvantaged people across the globe. Princess of the hearts, the queen of the people #LadyDiana.

To commemorate what would have been the 60th birthday of Diana the Princess of Wales, her sons the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, came together to unveil a special memorial statue of their mother in Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden.
The statue was created by Ian Rank-Broadley, a royal-favourite sculptor known for his work on British coinage and on the Armed Forces Memorial. It shows Diana standing among three children, dressed in a stylish shirt and pencil skirt, accessorised with a wide belt. A statement from Kensington Palace stated that the figure ‘is surrounded by three children who represent the universality and generational impact of The Princess’ work’, while the ‘style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion.’
The new Princess Diana statue is located inside the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace. The Sunken Garden was created in 1908 at the instigation of King Edward VII. The king's plans were inspired by Pond Garden at Hampton Court Palace. The palace opted to give the gardens a makeover before the statue became revealed.

Windsor Castle was Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II's official London Residence. The Royal standard can be seen at the top left of the photo, meaning that The Queen was in residence on that day.

To a Beautiful Woman, a beautiful mother, a true Princess....Lady Diana Princess of Wales....rest in peace......
Its been 11 years since Diana Princess of Wales (so called the Queen of Hearts)
died in Paris; it was the end of summer and at the time the world stopped.
This is my tribute to a great woman, a humanitarian ... its blue because it was her favourite colour. Let's us remember the many good causes she embraced.

From Monday's lady with her ass and cart to a lady with frills and flounces in abundance! Princess Mary the Princess of Wales from the Poole collection. Did she sit for Mr. Poole or is this a copy for some reason or other?
From today's contributions it seems plausible that this image of Mary of Teck (later Queen Mary of the United Kingdom) is a copy. It was possibly labelled in the early 1900s (when she was titled as Princess of Wales) from an earlier 1890s original (when titled Duchess of York). Sharon.corbet highlights an extract from an 1897 description of her attire during a visit to Ireland - which could well describe this image:
"[..] while at the Dublin horse show she wore plain green muslin trimmed with Irish lace of a yellow toce, and caught up on the bodice with emerald and diamond shamrock brooches"
Photographer: A. H. Poole
Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford
Date: catalogue range c.1901-1954 (likely 1900s copy of 1890s image)

"Because Diana was a contemporary and accessible princess, the fountain's goal was to allow people access to the structure and to the water for quiet wading and contemplation. However, shortly after its opening and after three hospitalisations caused by people slipping in the water, the fountain was closed. It reopened in August 2004, surrounded by a new fence, and people are now prevented from walking or running in the water by six wardens." Wikipedia
I didn't see many wardens, but I didn't try to run in the water ;-)
