Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae).

It is sometimes called the 'Sword lily', but usually by its generic name (plural gladioli).

Came into the studio, eager to photograph and was greeted by these beauties.

Love this, as sweet as candy?

 

Thank you, M, (*_*)

Like liquid gold, the evolution of the delicious flowers, from bud to bloom.

 

Those huge heads, so layered, all coming out of this one bud, this bud unfurling and displaying all this beauty... it NEVER ceases to amaze me.

The evolution, the unfurling, then the GRAND opening...

 

THANX for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)

Most of you know by now how I love 'playing' with light, a never ending beautiful challenge, food for my creative soul, which I so desperately need at the moment...

Each flower or object, most definitely people, seem to have a different 'personality' which I'm trying to capture.

 

Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alströmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753.

Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.

The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.

They have a vase life of about two weeks.

 

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

the Fuchsias are in bloom, the dainty little dancers...

 

They are doing soooo well.

 

Fuchsia from my garden. So delicate and pretty and in one of my favourite colour-combinations!

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.

The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier.

He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.

 

This is one of the varieties, plump, with a red tutu and white nickers? LOL

 

Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)

A tourist's pier at dusk. Compared to a previous upload the view is just about the opposite direction and this allowed to shield the tripod/camera from the strong winds with my body.

 

Result is a 60sec exposure that makes the scenery appear nearly bright as daylight and adds a nice "foggy effect" to the water. View it larger on a black background

Drama in the studio, lol

Poppies are flowering plants with delicate, papery petals in a variety of shapes and vibrant hues.

 

There are more than 70 distinct species in the poppy (papaver) genus, including opium poppies (Papaver somniferum), corn poppies (Papaver rhoeas) and Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale).

 

Poppies are an excellent addition to mixed beds, borders and cut arrangements.

A beautiful Blue Iris, just awakening and unfurling and being hit by light!!!

 

Sacrebleu, it SCREAMED!!! So very surprised, LOL.

Thanks for taking time to comment and fave my work. I really appreciate.

  

When in bloom, Primula vialii is easy to distinguish from other primroses.

Its stout stalk is crowded with hundreds of tiny flowers of red calyces and blue-violet corollas.

The flowers are tightly packed on the stem.

The blossom has a bottle brush appearance.

This primrose has distinctive flowers, unlike any other in the genus.

It's rare to find this plant in its native haunts, as it comes close, if not already, to being an endangered species. Pere Delavay originally discovered the species.

In two of my favourite colours together

So very inviting and to me... irresistible, the shapes and colours so glorious!!

I photographed the Snow Drops against a black card near a window for natural light. I then placed a purple card to the right thinking a bit of colour would bring out more detail. I then placed a piece of white reflective plastic underneath. I then used a cheap Chinese LED reading light placed facing the purple card. I underexposed by 1 stop to keep the back ground true black. I then post processed the image in lightroom.

 

I had many gardens in my life yet always shied away from Roses because I often heard that they were 'difficult', prone to disease and pests.

But Paul loves Roses, so I tentatively tried with one plant, then two, now many, and oh what joy!

I never promised him a Rose-garden LOL, now we have one.

A stunning flower both yellow and orange, a glorious mixture.

Everyday I have the pleasure and privilege of working with beauty.

It is a voyage of discovery, working forensically on flowers, new things every day.

Nature at its very best.

I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...

For Looking Close on Friday theme "Yellow on Black Background"

for the Crazy Tuesday challenge: "squares and cubes"

 

Some tiny Swarovski glass beads called 'brilliants'. I collected a few in both square and cube shapes. Each one has a hole for the thread to pass through, and at just under 1cm in size the light effects they can create are quite amazingly complex. I recently started looking at them again, having almost forgotten about them. They are great fun to shoot, though being so small it can be difficult to handle the light and tight focus. I shot against the black background and on a sheet of glass to capture the reflections too!

An old photo of mine gettting a makeover.

 

Azaleas are flowering shrubs making up part of the genus Rhododendron.

Originally azaleas were classed as a different genus of plant, but now they are recognised as two of the eight sub-genera of rhododendrons - subgenus Pentanthera (deciduous), and subgenus Tsutsuji (evergreen). Azaleas bloom in spring, their flowers dying only a few weeks later.

They do not need as much sun as other plants; they live near trees and sometimes under them.

I wish you all a great w-e.

Many suffer in the short, dark days, through lack of light and get the blues. Well, the season of lights is here!

Violets, the flowers, leaves and roots of various Viola species are used for medicinal purposes, being rich in vitamins A and C.

 

They also contain a type of antioxidant.

 

And they are edible,

YOU'RE IN MY HEART, YOU'RE IN MY SOUL?

 

I caught this lovely moment in the studio.

I wanted the dramatic light to bring out the 'passion-orange' in this 'heart-forming' Gerberas.

 

Gerbera is a genus of ornamental plants from the sunflower family. It was named in honour of the German naturalist Traugott Gerber.

It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa and tropical Asia.

 

Colours include white, yellow, orange, red, and pink.

The center of the flower is sometimes black.

It is the fifth most used cut flower in the world (after rose, carnation, chrysanthemum, and tulip).

 

Have a day full of peace and thank you for your comments. M, (*_*)

Are orange marigolds edible?

Marigolds are used as food as well. The ancient Greeks also used marigolds as food, or rather in it. ... Edible marigold flowers are said to taste either mildly citrusy to subtly spicy to, well, like a marigold. Whatever you think of their flavour, the flowers are indeed edible and if nothing else a feast for the eyes.

 

Orange Marigold Flower Meaning:

 

In the language of flowers, the colour orange conveys passion and deep feelings. When paired with cheerful marigolds, orange indicates strong, positive emotions.
