"Flower Buds"

"Looking close...on Friday!"

Fuchsia buds with water drops. They remind me of Christmas ornaments :-)

There are over 90 species of sundew. The majority are found in Australia and South Africa, but they also grow in hot, humid areas of Georgia, Florida and other similar climates. The plants prefer acidic soils and are usually where there is a bog or marsh and often grow on top of sphagnum moss.

Thank you, my dear friends, for all your comments and favs!

Thank you very much for your visits, favs and nice comments.

Happy weekend!

Natures shapes/colour

Le village est situé sur la péninsule de Romsdal, le long de la route de l'Atlantique.

It was evening time with practically very poor light!! Tried to fix an artificial light source but found the results not quite impressive so carried on with fading light!

They are double hibiscus bud!

Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages.

At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.

In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created

Give peace a chance

Buds could be beautiful as well. :-)) I always look for them to shoot.

One of my huge peony buds covered in water drops after a morning shower. You can see the refraction of the hanger from a hanging flower basket in the big droplet...it kind of looks like a hook ;-) Please view large.

Have a great Saturday and awesome weekend, my friends!
