Ontluikende passiebloem
De passiebloemen (Passiflora) is een geslacht van meest overblijvende en klimmende planten met ranken in de familie Passifloraceae. Ook zijn er bomen en struiken onder de passiebloemen. De zeer variabel gevormde bloemen komen in verschillende maten en kleuren voor. De meest algemene kleur is paars, maar er zijn ook fel roze, rode, blauwe, witte, gele en groene bloemen. De vrucht van een passiebloem is een groot uitgevallen bes. Er zijn ruim 500 soorten passiebloemen bekend.
Het natuurlijke verspreidingsgebied van de passiebloemen ligt in Midden- en Zuid-Amerika, op de Cariben en negen soorten in zuidelijk Noord-Amerika. In Zuid-Amerika komen ze voor van de Andes tot in tropisch laagland. Ook in Australië, Oceanië en in het zuiden en zuidoosten van Azië komen van oorsprong een klein aantal passiebloemen voor. Europa en Afrika hebben geen passiebloemen. In Afrika ligt wel het natuurlijke verspreidingsgebied van het verwante geslacht Adenia.

Sambucus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Adoxaceae.
The various species are commonly called elder or elderberry/elderflower.
The flowers of Sambucus nigra are used to produce elderflower cordial.
St-Germain, an American liqueur with faux-French branding, is made from elderflowers.
Hallands Fläder, a Swedish akvavit, is flavoured with elderflowers.
Despite the similarity in name, the Italian liqueur sambuca is mostly made with star anise and fennel essential oils extracted by vapour distillation.
It also contains elderflower extracts with which it is flavoured to add a floral note, to smooth and round off the strong liquorice flavour.
Thank you for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

The mountains of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka prefecture are starting to sprout, and the wild cherry blossoms are starting to bloom all at once. The mountains are covered with white cherry blossoms, but quite a few pink wild cherry blossoms can be seen. These wild cherry trees multiplied because birds dropped their seeds.
伊豆半島の山々は樹々の芽吹きが始まり山桜が一斉に咲き始めました。この山では白い桜で埋め尽くされてますが, ピンクの山桜も結構多いです。小振りの花弁の豆桜 (マメザクラ) が見られるのも伊豆半島の特徴です。

Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, perennial plants native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are at least 36 species of Dahlia. Dahlia hybrids are commonly grown as garden plants. The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremony, as well as decorative purposes,[1] and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.
1872 a box of Dahlia roots were sent from Mexico to the Netherlands. Only one plant survived the trip, but produced spectacular red flowers with pointed petals. Nurserymen in Europe bred from this plant, which was named Dahlia juarezii with parents of Dahlias discovered earlier and these are the progenitors of all modern Dahlia hybrids. Ever since, plant breeders have been breeding Dahlias to produce thousands of cultivars, usually chosen for their stunning and brightly coloured flowers. Dahlia plants range in height from as low as 12" (30 cm) to as tall as 6-8 feet (180-240 cm). The flowers can be as small as 2" (5 cm) in diameter or up to a foot (30 cm) "dinner plate". The great variety results from Dahlias being octoploids (they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two).
Dahlias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Angle Shades, Common Swift, Ghost Moth and Large Yellow Underwing.
The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl [2]. In Germany they were known as georgines until recently. They were named by the botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow after the naturalist Johann Gottlieb Georgi of St. Petersburg, Russia.
