This is what the plant looks like when it's emerging .... I love to look at it when it's just split open like this.
(See next shot for other stages.)

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate flower buds at Looking Close on Friday. Spring is finally here and everything (or almost) starts to bloom. As we all know, my relationship with green plants is rather bad…So you can imagine how anxious I was knowing this week’s theme. Where, I will find some flower buds ??? I started by looking in my yard and guess what ? Apparently some flowers are trying to survive in my garden… Poor tiny things, no one informed them how hostile my garden is for any kind of plants. Extreme heat, virtually no water (only when it rains) and you get stomp over pretty often (some people in my household have no respect for plants, I will not name names !!). As you can see, those are very harsh living conditions for plants. I’m very surprised that some flowers are lining in my backyard and they have some flower buds ! I asked my Mom and apparently those are some lilies of the valley… I hope for them they are very tough ! But at least, I didn’t steal any flowers from my neighbours this time.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
This brightly painted Camellia bud caught my eye and I could not resist taking a macro shot of it, at Queen Victoria's Garden, Melbourne.

This is my last post in a couple of weeks. I'll be off for some vacation with the family in Sweden. I do consider this shot sort of iconic picture of the bokeh serie I've been posting and surely there are more interesting of the genre but in this I find a great clarity of the buds vs that background bokeh making it sort of the representative shot. I dedicate this to all flickr photographers out there that showed me the world of bokeh and that made me curios about it and particularly to *ᕈᗩᕰᒪ that also introduced me technically to this kind of photography. He explained that you don't need the most expensive gear to get the best bokeh result, the contrary with a used prime lens (which one can find used for about 30-60 euro) you can do marvelous things. And it was exactly what I did find, a superb little gem. The pentax m50 f1.7!
So gear do count yes but that doesn't mean that it must necessarily cost a lot of money.
By the way check out *ᕈᗩᕰᒪ's amazing stream!

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

This bud's for me...alone in the spotlight of sun in the garden, ready to spring into a beautiful spray of agapanthus blooms and a tiny drop of dew at the top to make it special.
