The Dahlia is named after the Swedish 18th century botanist Anders Dahl, who originally declared the flower a vegetable, as the tubers are edible.
The Dahlia is named after the Swedish 18th century botanist Anders Dahl, who originally declared the flower a vegetable, as the tubers are edible.
Native to North America, good for attracting bees and butterflies. Sometimes known as the Coneflowers. The name Rudbeckia was named after two professors who were botanists who were father and son both named Olof Rudbeck and were Carolus Linnaeus teachers. Will flower from mid summer until the first frosts.
Hepatica (hepatica, liverleaf, or liverwort) is a genus of herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family, native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America. Some botanists include Hepatica within a wider interpretation of Anemone.
In 1815, botanists in Belgium bred the first varieties of the “double flower” dahlia.The dahlia is the official flower of both Seattle and San Francisco.Dahlias can be found in nearly every color except blue! Breeders are still trying to create a dahlia with beautiful blue blooms. Dahlias were first recorded by Westerners in 1615, and were then called by their original Mexican name acoctli.
Crocus tommasinianus, the woodland crocus, early crocus, or Tommasini's crocus, is a flower named after the botanist Muzio G. Spirito de Tommasini (1794-1879). It is native to Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania, and the former Yugoslavia. It is often referred to as the early or snow crocus, but these terms are shared with several other species, although C. tommasinianus is amongst the first to bloom. Multiple plants are often called tommies in the horticultural trade.
It is a cormous perennial of the genus Crocus in the family Iridaceae with a lilac flower, and is one of the smaller of the cultivated species. It has slender flowers about 2–4 cm (1–2 in) long, with white perianth tubes, petals (6) pale silvery lilac to reddish purple, while the outer petals may be overlaid with silver and darker tips. A variant, C. tommasinianus f. albus, is white. Its cultivars are used as ornamental plants. Height: 3 in (76 mm)
Pilea peperomioides is a plant of the nettle family. Pilea peperomioides occurs naturally only in China in the mountainous region of Yunnan province. From here the Scottish botanist George Forrest brought the plant to Europe at the beginning of the 20th century !!
Flowery History
Though they have been grown in Europe for well over two hundred years, Dahlias are thought to originate in Mexico and are that country’s national flower. Dahlias are believed to have been named by 18th-century Spanish botanist Abbé Cavanille in honor of Andreas Dahl, a Swedish scientist and environmentalist.
Petals or Florets?
Dahlia florets are often mistakenly called petals, even by horticulturists, but in fact every floret is a flower in its own right. Dahlias are part of the Asteraceae family, also known as the Daisy, Aster or Composite family. The name Asteraceae refers to the flowers’ appearance, which resembles a star surrounded by rays.
Vegetable Tubers
The Aztecs grew dahlia tubers as a food crop but attempts to introduce them to the European diet didn’t succeed. Can you see dahlia tubers as the next must-try vegetable?
Types of Dahlia
There has been much debate over the classification of dahlias. In 1904, there were officially only five types: cactus, pompom, single, show and fancy. More recently, many more types have appeared and from 2010 dahlias have been split into fourteen groups.
Nearly Every Colour of the Rainbow
Dahlias come in a huge variety of colours and like most unscented flowers they use their vibrant blooms to attract pollinating insects. Dahlias can be found in almost every colour except blue.
Sweet Petite to Dinner Plate
Dahlias come all sizes – from a dainty diameter of 2cm to show-stopping varieties known as ‘dinner plate’ dahlias, which can grow up to 25cm in diameter.
Dahlia Café au Lait
There has been a huge surge of interest in Café au Lait dahlias over the last couple of years. Café au Lait dahlias are a delicate blush-toned peachy ivory with eye-catching blooms that can grow to up to 25cm in diameter.
The Meaning of Dahlias
In the language of flowers, also known as florography, dahlias represent “dignity” and “my gratitude exceeds your care”.
Hepatica (hepatica, liverleaf, or liverwort) is a genus of herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family, native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America. Some botanists include Hepatica within a wider interpretation of Anemone.
Watsonia is a genus of plants in the iris family, subfamily Crocoideae. Watsonias are native to southern Africa. The genus is named after Sir William Watson, an 18th-century British botanist.

Happy End Alpine Aster
Aster alpinus 'Happy End'
"zinnia"#1
Zinnia is a genus of plants of the sunflower tribe within the daisy family (Asteraceae). ... Members of the genus are notable for their solitary long-stemmed flowers that come in a variety of bright colors. The genus name honors German master botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727–59).
Usually botanists are not given to much exuberance in their descriptions. Johannes Snippendaal (1616-1670), prefect of the Amsterdam Hortus Medicus, clearly showed his delight. In his Catalogue of plants (1646) he says of our Cranesbill that it has 'pretty striped flowers'; as indeed it does. Those lines, of course, are so-called insect lines that lead those animals to succor.
I'm not sure whether Cinnamon Bug partakes of such sweetness and nutrition. But I noticed it lurking in Geranium's foliage. Then it took flight, landed on a petal, but quickly scurried back into green.

Gerbera L. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae. It was named in honour of German botanist and medical doctor Traugott Gerber who travelled extensively in Russia and was a friend of Carl Linnaeus. Gerbera is native to tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia.
Yes, reproductive structures. Reproduction, after all, is what flowers are mostly about. Whoops -- day lilies are often propagated by natural cloning -- bulbs, in other words. Day lilies are not actually lilies, botanists tell us, but they are beautiful. Each flower blooms for a single day.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

Definitely one of the Hypericum family. There are probably hundreds of them and they're all very similar unless one is a botanist or a dedicated Googler.
Fuchsia hybrida is a species of shrub of the family of onagráceas. It is native to America.
***
Princess earring is a hybrid species obtained from South American fuchsia species, mainly Fuchsia corymbiflora Ruiz. & Pav., Fuchsia fulgens Moc. & Ses. and Fuchsia magellanica Lam.
Scientific Name: Fuchsia sp
Family: Onagracee.
In South America alone there are over 200 different species of princess earring, also known as fuchsia, tickle and tear.
Flower symbol of Rio Grande do Sul, is a plant that is a huge international success. It has many varieties, and both petals and sepals can be of different colors and shapes. The most common colors are red, pink, blue, violet and white, with various combinations, without blending. They rise practically all year round and attract hummingbirds as pollinators.
The branch is pending, but there may be variations, with upright and other pending plants. Should be grown preferably under half shade, some species enjoy full sun.
Its propagation occurs through seeds or by cutting the tips of its branches.
Although it has a great variety, there is a common trait among them all: they greatly appreciate the cold. Therefore, they are more common in places with mild climate. Easily found in the highest regions of Rio Grande do Sul, amid the Atlantic Forest.
Propagation can be either by seed or by cuttings. A curiosity about the origin of its scientific name. Fuchsia derives from the surname of the German physician and botanist Leonhart Fuchs, born in Wemding (1501/1566).

In 1793 the great German botanist and entomologist Christian Konrad Sprengel (1750-1816) wrote the first study of flower markings related to all kinds of insect activity. I've mentioned his work before: www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/41504637505/in/photoli....
Of course, this is a fascinating topic and lots of research has been done on it since Sprengel's time.
In the photo you can see in a Crocus those so-called flower or nectar lines or guides purple against the white petals.
In 2013 scientists in the USA (Anne S. Leonard, Joshua Brent, Daniel R. Papaj, Anna Dornhaus) studied how efficient those lines are for Bumblebees in their foraging
(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3572167/). By ingenious methods they found that Bees gather nectar twice as quickly on flowers with nectar guides than if they lack them. Moreover, so-called 'nectar robbing' is cut back as well. 'Nectar robbing' is the phenomenon that Bumblebees 'illegitimately' by-pass the top of the flower altogether and gnaw a hole at its base to access nectar there. That procedure is quite inefficient from the flower's perspective, because the Bee thereby passes by all the instruments (stamen and pistil) necessary for its pollination.
Highly interesting stuff, indeed.
The sibipiruna, also known as sebipira, is a large tree, native to Brazil, perennial, reaching 28 meters in height with up to 6 meters in diameter and very showy round canopy.
***
It is called SIBIPIRUNA, also called SEBIPIRA. (Caesalpinia pluviosa var. peltophoroides - Caesalpinioideae), The generic name honors the botanist, physician and philosopher Andrea Cesalpino (1519-1603).

Gorgeous peach Pansy and raindrops.
The common name pansy is from the French pensee, meaning ‘thought’. The species name, wittrockiana, commemorates Swedish botanist Professor Veit Brecher Wittrock (1839 – 1914), who wrote a history of the cultivated pansy.

Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge. Lake Jackson, Texas.
Here's a pretty two-colored Daffodil. It goes by several names such as Lent Lilly and Wild Daffodil. Botanists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries liked to call it a 'Woodland (sylvestris) Narcissus, white with a yellow calyx.' I rather favor the vernacular Lent Lilly because it refers in English to the forty days before Easter and in Dutch to the first of the four seasons, Spring: 'de Lente', when the days begin to lengthen. Much prettier, I think, for that season than 'Voorjaar', 'before the year's planting'. And, indeed, 'Lent' and 'Lente' are cognate words.
Nepenthes (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz/) is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises about 170 species,and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (three) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey cups" refers to the fact that monkeys have been observed drinking rainwater from these plants.
The genus name Nepenthes was first published in 1737 in Carl Linnaeus's Hortus Cliffortianus.It references a passage in Homer's Odyssey, in which the potion "Nepenthes pharmakon" is given to Helen by an Egyptian queen. "Nepenthe" literally means "without grief" (ne = not, penthos = grief) and, in Greek mythology, is a drug that quells all sorrows with forgetfulness. Linnaeus explained:
If this is not Helen's Nepenthes, it certainly will be for all botanists. What botanist would not be filled with admiration if, after a long journey, he should find this wonderful plant. In his astonishment past ills would be forgotten when beholding this admirable work of the Creator!
The Blackburnian Warbler was named after Anna Blackburne, an English botanist. No other North American warbler has an orange throat.
Magnolia blossom at Lake Jervey near Northport, Florida. The Magnolia flowering plant species is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol.
Wikipedia: Claytonia virginica, the Virginia springbeauty, eastern spring beauty, grass-flower or fairy spud, is an herbaceous perennial in the family Montiaceae. Its native range is eastern North America. Its scientific name honors Colonial Virginia botanist John Clayton.
In March 1934 the intrepid South African plant collector and botanist Gilbert Westacot Reynolds (1895-1967) found the Aloe which carries his name above a waterfall in the Xobo River before it joins the turning and twisting Mbhashe about 15 kms east of Dutywa in the Eastern Cape. Cythna Lindenberg Letty (1895-1985) identified it as a distinct species. A consumate floral and plant artist she published her colored drawing of it that same year inThe Flowering Plants of South Africa 14 (1934). And she got to name it as well after Reynolds.
Introduced plant species now outnumber the known species of Australian natives, botanists say. About 27,500 introduced plant species have made their way into the country, compared to 24,000 native plants. Many environmental weeds are successfully invading ecosystems. They have escaped from gardens and farms and are invading creeklines, woodlands and coastal areas. Many of these plants are fast growing and have highly successful reproductive and seed dispersal mechanisms, including abundant seed production, seeds that remain viable for many years, and fruit and seeds that are attractive to birds and mammals. They often have few predators or diseases to keep them under control in their new habitat. The pictured species is the seed setting stage of Stinking Roger, Monoculus monstrous. florabase.dbca.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/29418

Corylus [Hazel]
The hazels (Corylus) are a genus of deciduous trees and large shrubs native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. The genus is usually placed in the birch family Betulaceae, though some botanists split the hazels (with the hornbeams and allied genera) into a separate family Corylaceae. The fruit of the hazel is the hazelnut.
Hazels have simple, rounded leaves with double-serrate margins. The flowers are produced very early in spring before the leaves, and are monoecious, with single-sex catkins, the male catkins are pale yellow and 5–12 cm long, and the female ones are very small and largely concealed in the buds, with only the bright-red, 1- to 3-mm-long styles visible. The fruits are nuts 1–2.5 cm long and 1–2 cm diameter, surrounded by an involucre (husk) which partly to fully encloses the nut.
The shape and structure of the involucre, and also the growth habit (whether a tree or a suckering shrub), are important in the identification of the different species of hazel.

The pretty bright colors of the European Paper Wasp always delight me. Here it's visiting Bridal Wreath for nutritional nectar. Francoa was first described by intrepid French-Spanish botanist Louis Éconches Feuillée (1660-1732) who saw it in the mountains of Chile and wrote about it - with fine illustration - in his Histoire des plantes medecinales qui sont le plus en usage aux royaumes de l'Amerique meridionale, du Perou & du Chily (1714). He doesn't use the name Francoa but rather the one employed by the natives of Chile: Llaupanke. 'Francoa' was devised by great Antonio José Cavanilles (1745-1804) for this plant to honor the learned Spanish botanist of Jewish extraction Francisco Franco (1515-1569) of Valencia who became professor of natural history at Alcalá: www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/48365486651/in/photoli....
