It is a perennial shrub or tree, very popular in tropical landscaping, which has a woody, erect, branched and thorny stem.
The inflorescences are composed of red, orange-red, pinkish-red or yellow flowers, depending on the variety, all characterized by long stamens. Flowering occurs in spring and summer.
The fruits are of the vegetable type and appear in Autumn.
It should be grown in full sun or partial shade, but is tolerant of light cold, in subtropical or Mediterranean climates, becoming deciduous (loses its leaves in Winter). It is multiplied by seeds.
Some peoples use the plant as a medicinal plant, with anti-inflammatory properties, but care must be taken as it is a toxic plant, including abortifacient.

The Maudaiae type of Paphhiopedilum, single flowered hybrid called after one of the first, and most delightful, hybrids made within this group. Their oval leaves are attractively mottled in green and gray-green, sometimes darkly peppered on the undersides, and their elegant flowers, carried proudly on tall, slender stems.

I dearly love finding dandelions in my garden, whether they are the yellow flowers or the soft puffs of seeds ready to take to the wind. Generally I leave the dandelion there (unless I am removing weeds, and then I say goodbye to my little friends). However, this one time I decided to break the dandelion puff off of the stem to take inside the house for a photo session. The moment I removed the puff, the bottom of the stem curled into these two tightly wound circles. What a treat!

Hand held and the gentle colour softness that this lens produces when fully open. Not much depth of field either!
All sorts of gentle post-processing, a bit here and a bit there!

A hulking warbler that resembles Eurasian Reed-Warbler in coloration but far larger with a proportionately more massive head, heavy bill with a dark tip, and a broad, pale eyebrow. Breeds in reed beds, crashing through the reeds in short flights and bending stems when perched. Song short but very loud and memorable with repeated phrases of "karra-karra-karra gurk gurk gurk chirrr-chirrr karra karra." Call a high-pitched “krrrrr." (eBird)

Beautiful warbler who defied convention to come out into the open and regale us with his lovely song.

Last night I cooked up a rare Gori Blue pumpkin I grew and harvested last fall. This morning I happened to notice how lovely the stem looked on the stove back.
I'm trying to challenge myself more with monochromatic images. I find it much easier when I can control the light.

flower (Daisy) stem .....rip detail where I pulled the single bloom
from the multiple bloom stem.
It is in late autumn when the leaves are on the ground that you notice the character of the leaf. The veins and stem have always been there but are not as noticeable in the summer when the leaf is green and still connected to the tree.

Beginning a morning hike around the Eibsee with a view. Carrying the camera with you is always a good idea.
Asters can be notoriously hard to identify so I finally did something smart (rare!) and took a picture of the leaves and stem with my phone so I had a better chance of identifying it when I got home. Worked much better than relying on my so-called "memory"! Photographed after a rainy October night in Beaver Creek Valley State Park near Caledonia, Minnesota.
Hello, long time..I wanted to share this with you and to be
on my flickr record,the original concept was to have two
side by side,with a central drop hanging down,,that was the
plan..but i think i got something better though what do you
think?you see this could never be repeated and hears
why.the drop is glycerin,sticky and heavy,it broke the stem
and hung down before collapse, and a water drop would have
simply rolled off at the moment of stem break.this happened
by accident and i love it.

...added a stem to my candy foil wrap "floral design"

for Macro Mondays. Compared with the large bowl, the long stems on my posh wine glasses seem very slender and fragile, and I always take great care when handling them.
The five other glasses are reflected in this one stem.
Ginger is a popular flavour at Christmas, usually pieces coated in dark chocolate but my take on it this year is stem ginger cupcakes. A quick and easy bake, and also an easy frosting flavoured with syrup from the ginger jar and topped with a festive edible 'bauble'.
