Traditionally today is "Sul y Blodau (Flowering Sunday) the Welsh term for Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter Day) when flowers were put on graves in Wales.
On the Saturday before Palm Sunday or Easter Sunday, gravestones at some churches in Wales were cleaned or whitewashed, the graves were tidied, and flowers were planted or strewn on them."
Today however due to Covid Restrictions being eased in Wales we had a socially distanced visit from our son and family outside on the patio. Thankfully the wind and rain had eased off enough to pull the awning out , one that we had installed many years ago attached to our back wall ( in comments)

CATALÀ
L'herba fetgera, viola de llop o viola de pastor (Anemone hepatica) és una planta perenne de la família de les ranunculàcies.
Les flors apareixen tan aviat com desapareix la neu a la primavera. Són hermafrodites, solitàries, amb simetria actinomorfa, de color blau (a vegades poden ser blanques o amb tons rosats) i amb 6 sèpals i 5 a 10 pètals lliures. Creixen erectes amb peduncles vellosos i és una de les flors més belles i delicades de les nostres muntanyes. L'androceu està format per nombrosos estams i el pistil es compon de diversos fruits agrupats sense pic, cadascun dels quals conté una sola llavor. L'involucre està compost per 3 bractèoles que li donen un aspecte de calze; aquest consta de 2 o 3 cimes de sèpals petaloides. El fruit és un aqueni ovat i agut.

"In August, I [[Guy CHRISTENSEN] was honored along with Ms. Rachel of making it to the “Antisemite of the Week” run by stopantisemitism.org. You speak out for Gaza, and suddenly you’re on a blacklist next to neo-Nazis and white nationalists all because you said Palestinians deserve to live.
That’s what “Antisemite of the Week” is. It’s a propaganda hit list run by Zionist hasbara operatives slapping the same label on preschool educators, Jewish anti-Zionists, and literal fascists because they care more about defending Israel’s image than fighting real antisemitism.
That’s the absurdity and political purpose of these smear campaigns, it’s not to protect Jews, but to shut down criticism of Israeli apartheid by weaponizing identity. It’s sloppy and cynical, the zionist grip is finally losing it’s bite. “Antisemitism” means nothing anymore." --- mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzQdzcrgxRCwXxSfFgTSB...

Kniphofia uvaria is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae, also known as tritomea, torch lily, or red hot poker, due to the shape and color of its inflorescence. The leaves are reminiscent of a lily, and the flowerhead can reach up to 1.52 m (5.0 ft) in height. There are many varieties of torch lily, and they bloom at different times during the growing season. The flowers are red, orange, and yellow.
Kniphofia uvaria originates from the Cape Province of South Africa, and has been introduced into many parts of the world, such as North America, Australia, New Zealand, Patagonia and Europe as a garden plant. It is hardy in zones 5-10.
In parts of south-eastern Australia, such as the Central and Southern Tablelands of New South Wales and southern Victoria, it has escaped cultivation and become naturalised. It is now regarded as an environmental weed in these locations, spreading from former habitations into natural areas, where it can grow in thick clumps and threaten sensitive ecosystems. Elsewhere in southern Australia it is regarded as a potential environmental weed, and it may have also naturalised in parts of South Australia and California.
Displaced Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Wednesday were trying to set up the most basic of amenities in their tent encampment—a makeshift water line—when an Israeli drone strike smashed into them. Shrapnel tore through flesh and bone, killing four, wounding nine, and destroying several tents. - www.dropsitenews.com/p/deir-al-balah-al-aqsa-hospital-ten... ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️Stanley Park, Blackpool

Oenothera lindheimeri, formerly Gaura lindheimeri, and commonly known as Lindheimer's beeblossom, white gaura, pink gaura, Lindheimer's clockweed, and Indian feather, is a species of Oenothera.
The perennial plant is native to southern Louisiana and Texas.[3][4] The specific epithet is after Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer, a German-born botanist who collected extensively in Texas for Harvard University professor Asa Gray.
Oenothera lindheimeri is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to 50–150 cm tall, with densely clustered branched stems growing from an underground rhizome. The leaves are finely hairy, lanceolate, 1–9 cm long and 1–13 mm broad, with a coarsely toothed margin.
The flowers are produced on a 10–80 cm long inflorescence; they are pink or white, 2–3 cm diameter, with four petals 10–15 mm long and long hairlike stamens, and are produced from the beginning of spring until the first frost.

"Since the so-called ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on October 10, Israel has been consolidating its control of over 50% of Gaza and—according to new research by Forensic Architecture—physically altering the geography of the land. Through a combination of the construction of military infrastructure alongside the destruction of existing buildings, Israel appears to be laying the groundwork to establish a permanent presence in the majority of the Gaza Strip.
Israel has constructed at least 13 new military outposts inside Gaza since the ceasefire—primarily located along the yellow line, in eastern Khan Younis, and near the border with Israel, according to analysis of satellite imagery by Forensic Architecture.
“Israel is doing what it always does, and what it historically has done best: establish ‘facts on the ground,’ incrementally rather than spectacularly, and make them permanent once those with influence to force it to reverse course either lose interest, decide that the cost of confronting Israel is not worth the price, or come out in open support of Israeli violations. Israel is in no rush and prepared to play the long game,” Mouin Rabbani, co-editor of Jadaliyya and a former UN official who worked as a senior analyst on Israel-Palestine for the International Crisis Group, told Drop Site after reviewing a summary of the Forensic Architecture findings." -

“… tot passant li havia obert l’ànima més amplament, com certes sentors de rosa, circulant en l’aire humit del vespre, tenen la propietat de dilatar-nus els narius”

Rosa chinensis (nom xinès: 月季, pinyin: yueji), coneguda generalment com a Rosa de la Xina o rosa xinesa, és un membre del genus Rosa nadiua de les províncies del sud-oest de la Xina, Guizhou, Hubei, i Sichuan. L'espècie és àmpliament conreada com a planta ornamental, originalment a la Xina, i se n'han derivat nombrosos cultivars que han estat anomenats roses de la Xina. També ha estat extensament creuada amb Rosa gigantea per produir Rosa × odorata, i a partir d'aquesta i mitjançant més hibridacions se'n deriven les roses de te i els híbrids de te.
És un arbust creixent a 1–2 m alt. Les fulles són pinnades, té 3-5 folíols, cada folíol 2.5–6 cm llarg i 1–3 cm ample. En l'espècie salvatge (de vegades anomenada Rosa chinensis var. spontanea), les flors tenen cinc pètals de color entre el rosa i el vermell. El fruit és un gavarró vermell 1–2 cm diàmetre. Les cultivars de Rosa chinensis han estat decisius en la en l'obtenció de moltes roses de jardí modernes, ja que va proporcionar la repetició de la floració. Aquesta característica apareix en les varietats cultivades però no en l'espècie salvatge.
ENGLISH
Rosa chinensis (Chinese: 月季; pinyin: yuèjì), known commonly as the China rose[ or Chinese rose, is a member of the genus Rosa native to Southwest China in Guizhou, Hubei, and Sichuan Provinces. The first publication of Rosa chinensis was in 1768 by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in Observationum Botanicarum, 3, p. 7, p. 55.
The flowering time ranges in China from April to September. Rarely, the flowers are solitary, usually four or five bundles together. The 2.5 to 6 cm long pedicel is hairy almost bald or glandular-fluffy. The one to three bare bracts are linear with a pointed upper end and smooth or glandular margin. The flowers have a mild fragrance.
The hermaphrodite flowers have radial symmetry with a diameter of 4 to 5 centimeters and are divided with double perianth. There are cultivated forms with simple to more or less strongly filled flowers, which are also wild in China and other areas of temperate latitudes. The bald flower cup (hypanthium) is egg-shaped-spherical or pear-shaped. The early dropping sepals are ovate or sometimes foliage-like, simple or lobed with a dished upper end and bald on the underside and hairy on the top shaggy.
The depending on the form five to several or many petals are white over pink to red or purple, obovate with a wedge-shaped base and a polished upper end. There are many stamens present. The free, hairy styluses tower over the petals and are almost as long as the stamens. In China, the rose hips ripen from June to November and turn red. The bald rose hip is egg-shaped or pear-shaped with a diameter of 1 to 2 centimeters.

Iris és un gènere de plantes rizomatoses de la família Iridaceae. El gènere més gran de la família amb més de 300 espècies, a més de molts híbrids. A més del nom de gènere, Sant Martí s'usa comunament per referir-se a totes les espècies, així com a altres gèneres estretament emparentats hi ha una subdivisió dins del gènere.
Parts de la flor
Les inflorescències sorgeixen en forma de ventall i contenen una o més flors de sis lòbuls simètrics, que creixen sobre un peduncle. Els tres sèpals, que generalment s'inclinen o corben cap avall (anomenats "ales"), s'estenen des de l'estreta base (l "arpa" o "mànec") cap a la part més ampla (la "extremitat" o "làmina") , i sovint estan adornats amb vetes, línies o punts. Al centre de la làmina, alguns dels Iris rizomatosos tenen una "barba" (un floc de petits pèls verticals que creixen en la seva línia mitjana), que són els filaments de la planta. Tots tres, en ocasions reduïts, pètals s'alcen, parcialment darrere dels sèpals basals. Algunes espècies petites tenen sis lòbuls apuntant directament cap a fora. Els sèpals i pètals difereixen els uns dels altres. Estan units a la base a el tub floral situat sobre l'ovari. Els estils es divideixen cap a l'àpex convertint-se en ramificacions petaloides. Això és important per a la polinización.
La flor de l'iris és d'especial interès com a exemple de la relació entre les plantes florals i els insectes pol·linitzadors. La forma de la flor i la posició dels receptors del pol·len i els estigmes en els pètals exteriors formen una pista d'aterratge per a un insecte volador, el qual, al sondejar el nèctar entrarà primer en contacte amb el periant i després amb els tres estams sobre una superfície en espiral que neix en l'ovari format pels tres carpelos.
La projecció transversal en forma de lleixa sobre l'espiral interior situada als costats dels estams i per sota l'estil arquejat sota l'estigma, permet que l'insecte entri en contacte amb la superfície coberta de pol·len solament després de passar aquest, mentre que a l'sortir de la flor pren contacte amb la cara inferior no receptiva de l'estigma. D'aquesta manera, un insecte que transport pol·len d'una flor visitada anteriorment i entre en una altra, dipositarà el pol·len sobre l'estigma i quan surti d'ella, el pol·len que porta no es fregarà ni es quedarà adherit a l'estigma de la mateixa flor.

A surprise discovery in the middle of our capital city (Cardiff) which reminded me of the character of Blodeuwedd ('flower face'); according to her tale in the mediaeval collection, 'Y Mabinogi', she was created out of flowers and wildflowers sprang up in a trail behind her wherever she walked... Both wild and innocent she is cast as a very early 'femme fatale'
