Iily of the valley in the forest. There were a lot of them (see previous photo) :)

 

Lily of the Valley is possibly the only species in the genus Convallaria in the flowering plant family Ruscaceae. This woodland plant is native throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere in Asia and Europe and a limited native population in Eastern USA. it is a herbaceous perennial plant that forms extensive colonies by spreading underground stems called rhizomes. New upright shoots are formed at the ends of stolons in summer, these upright dormant stems are often called pips. These grow in the spring into new leafy shoots that still remain connected to the other shoots under ground, often forming extensive colonies. Flowering is in late spring, in mild winters in the Northern Hemisphere it is in early March. Plants are self-sterile, and colonies consisting of a single clone do not set seed. All parts of the plant are potentially poisonous, including the red berries which may be attractive to children. The plant has been used in herbal medicine in moderate amounts by physicians and herbalists for centuries, particularly for mild congestive heart failure and arrhythmias. Lily of the Valley is a popular garden plant, grown for its scented flowers and for its ground-covering abilities in shady locations. Some consider it a weed, as it can spread over a wide area in gardens and can be difficult to contain or remove. Traditionally, lily of the valley is sold in the streets of France on May 1. Lily of the valley is also the national flower of Finland.

Leśne konwalie. Były ich tam całe dywany (co widać na poprzednim zdjęciu) :)

 

Konwalia majowa (Convallaria majalis) – gatunek byliny kłączowej z monotypowego rodzaju konwalia (Convallaria). Konwalia majowa występuje na półkuli północnej na obszarach o klimacie umiarkowanym. Zasięg obejmuje niemal całą Europę, środkową i północną Azję (po Koreę i Japonię na wschodzie oraz Mjanmę na południu). W Polsce jest to gatunek rodzimy spotykany w lasach na terenie niemal całego kraju. Kwitnie w maju, zaś owoce i nasiona dojrzewają ok. września-października. Wszystkie części rośliny są trujące, przy czym szczególnie wrażliwe na zatrucia są dzieci. Konwalia jest też rośliną leczniczą i popularną rośliną ozdobną, której głównym walorem są niewielkie kwiaty o charakterystycznym zapachu i dzwonkowatym kształcie. Znana jest pod wieloma nazwami zwyczajowymi i ludowymi. Występuje często w lasach niemal całej Polski, poza tym jest także uprawiana. W Europie konwalię uważano za kwiat szczęścia, pomyślności i młodości. Jest symbolem czystości i skromności, i jako taki używany jest w bukietach panien młodych. Konwalia była w średniowieczu symbolem wiedzy i sztuki medycznej. We Francji konwalia jest tradycyjnie sprzedawana na ulicach w dniu 1 maja – w święto konwalii. Konwalia sjest też narodowym kwiatem Finlandii i znalazła się na rewersie fińskiej monety 10 penniä.

As you know I have no idea what kind of rose this was, growing by the side of the street in Carvoeiro, Portugal

Just before a small rain ...

Snowy taking in all those cow phermones.

Thought I would try a more iconic pose from Granada. I hope I have added enough spark to give it a fresh taste. Otherwise, as always, I have added in a narrative so you can wander through history from a different Point Of View.

 

On the shoulders of southern Spain is a Fortress that once ruled with supreme confidence. The kings believed that nothing would change as long as they were alive. And then one of them died and everything changed.

 

Now the fortress and palace are a walking garden for people with enough footprints to get there.

 

The proverbial flies on the walls have also passed on and so there really are only rumors of stories left to tell of this great kingdom and the daily lives of people who lived and prospered there.

 

I only know these stories from a direct descendant of a gnat who sat on the wings of a fly perched on the wall where a king and queen shared court with legends of old.

 

Some other direct descendants are still living so I cannot reveal everything the gnat told me but I can tell you this ... It was all amazing!

 

For instance, one Friday the eldest son walked past the jaguar fountain in the courtyard and asked his mother "Will I be a good King?"

 

The mother thought for awhile and spoke wisely "It really is up to the gnat on the fly's wings on the wall to know for sure...but I believe if it is written in the stars it will be so! " She smiled sweetly but he did not feel so self assured.

 

Years later, he did become King and breathed a sigh of relief.

But as many kings, he finally had to let go when the winds started blowing from the Northwest and new owners bought the property and asked him to leave.

 

It is rumored that he sat at this perch for many days looking back at his home and meditating on the amazing journey of his life and his temporal loss. Eventually he packed up his caravan and relocated to Morocco where he lived a prosperous and fruitful life but he was always the most proud of the beauty his family created with this grand monument.

 

When I came here, a few years later, I did not feel like a King nor a gnat on the wings of a fly on the wall. But I did taste history in the meal I ate on this same terrace and I can still smell the sweet scent of wisteria rising up in the heat and hear the breezes rustle and crackling leaves in the trees like a gnat dancing on the wings of a fly playing flamenco on the walls of the golden palace listening to conversations and passing it along to the next generation.

 

No matter what anyone says, History tastes better when it's warm and the view is hot!

 

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.

While I was wandering in the very hot sunshine amongst the Rose beds of the State Rose Garden at Werribee Park, I realised that this couple were quietly lying under the roses in the shade. A bit surprising!

The rose is one of the most famous and beloved of all flowers. For hundreds of years, the rose has been widely recognized as a symbol of love, sympathy or sorrow in many popular plays, novels, and films.

 

The colour of a rose offers a distinct and different meaning. A classic symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as a token of admiration and appreciation.

 

Whether they’re for your best friend, fiancée or ever-dependable cubicle mate, a pink rose bouquet will create a bright spot in a special someone’s day.

Badgers are very careful when they come out of the burrow and they smell the air for a while in case of danger. They don't have a good eyesight but they have an excellent sense of smell !

Photogenic pika gathering flowers to transport them to its den for a later snack. This pika's den was with in 4 m of the trail in RMNP, very acclimated to human observation.

 

From Britannica: Pika, (genus Ochotona), small short-legged and virtually tailless egg-shaped mammal found in the mountains of western North America and much of Asia. Despite their small size, body shape, and round ears, pikas are not rodents but the smallest representatives of the lagomorphs, a group otherwise represented only by hares and rabbits (family Leporidae). Unlike hares and rabbits, their hind legs are not noticeably longer then their front legs.

Turkey Vultures have an excellent sense of smell, but Black Vultures aren’t nearly as accomplished sniffers. To find food they soar high in the sky and keep an eye on the lower-soaring Turkey Vultures. When a Turkey Vulture’s nose detects the delicious aroma of decaying flesh and descends on a carcass, the Black Vulture follows close behind (CornellLab).
