FLOWER CROWN IMPERIAL: -
Flowers have lost their status as "queen of gardens" due to the fads and the volatility of what is called fancy, one that occasionally still finds refuge in a vessel is called solidarity lily-blood-salmon (Scadoxus multiflorus) , which also bears the names of popular star of Christmas and the imperial crown. One of the probable causes of their decline is its toxicity, the flower produces a potent alkaloid that is poisonous, so that in some corners of Africa's native salmon-lily-bloods it is used as poison and panacea for poorly healed wounds.
The lily-blood-born salmon a bulb that gives rise to light-green leaves with small waves and lanceloadas edges. In the center of the leaves grows a fake stem succulent consistency flourishes where a spectacular collection of fine flower cones that form the semi-circle a red-orange. The diameter can reach 25 cm and its height about 90 cm.
Thanks to its light and beautiful flowers, the lily-bloods salmon lends itself well to growing in pots and in massive, rows and borders - if there are many children and pets on the site, planting in backyards and gardens is not recommended by its abovementioned toxicity. The lily-blood-salmon blooms typically between late summer and late autumn flowers and has good durability (two to three weeks on average). The soil needs to be light, fluffy even for the perfect growth of roots, rich in organic matter and good drainage. She loves water but not waterlogging. It is a flower half-shadow and mild weather, not frost tolerant. Multiplies by seeds and shoots and the bulb goes into dormancy in winter.
The interesting thing about this flower here in Brazil is that its flowering occurs at the end of October, close to All Souls' Day, and dies soon after this day (November 2)!
FLOR COROA IMPERIAL:-
Das flores que perderam o status de “rainha dos jardins” graças aos modismos e à volatilidade do que é chamada de chique, uma das que vez por outra ainda encontra refúgio em algum vaso solidário é o chamado lírio-sangu-salmão (Scadoxus multiflorus), que também ostenta os nomes populares de estrela-de-Natal e coroa-imperial. Uma das prováveis causas do seu ocaso é a sua toxicidade; a flor produz um potente alcaloide que é venenoso, tanto que em alguns rincões da África natal do lírio-sangu-salmão ele é usado como veneno e panaceia para feridas mal curadas.
O lírio-sangu-salmão nasce de um bulbo que dá origem a folhas verde-claras e lanceloadas com pequenas ondas nas bordas. No centro das folhas cresce um falso caule de consistência suculenta onde floresce um espetacular conjunto de finos cones que formam a flor um semi-círculo vermelho-alaranjado. O diâmetro pode chegar a 25 centímetros e sua altura, cerca de 90 centímetros.
Graças às suas flores leves e lindas, o lírio-sangu salmão presta-se tanto para cultivo em vasos quanto em maciços, renques e bordaduras – se houver muitas crianças e animais domésticos no local, o plantio em quintais e jardins é desaconselhável por sua supracitada toxidez. O lírio-sangu-salmão floresce tradicionalmente entre o final do Verão e o final do Outono e as flores tem boa durabilidade (duas a três semanas em média). O solo precisa ser leve, fofo até, para o perfeito crescimento das raízes, rico em matéria orgânica e de boa drenagem. Gosta muito de água mas não de encharcamento. É uma flor de meia-sombra e de clima ameno, não tolerante a geadas. Multiplica-se por sementes e brotos e o bulbo entra em período de dormência no Inverno.
O interessante desta flor aqui no Brasil é que sua floração acontece no final do mês de outubro, próximo do Dia de Finados, e morre logo após este dia (02 de novembro)!

I bought this dress back in 2017 and have loved it ever since I first tried it on. Quite modest and subdued, nothing too flashy, but I feel it suits me really well.

September's LFF weekend was a bit different from usual. The evening was tinged with sadness and loss as we had a memorial for Janie Marie Swann, the amazing organiser of LFF who sadly passed away in July.
But it wa also a hugely social night meeting loads of people, friends old and new.
And I did a thing - I made my karaoke debut! It was nerve-wracking but I loved it! After a bit of a shaky start I loved every second!

The first Friday of the month usually means a weekend in Leeds and March was no different. One of the best nights out in ages!

A bit of a smorgasbord of photos to finish the April collection off.
First up, me in a bathrobe. I'm quite comfortable these days with how I look most of the time. Nowadays, however I am presenting, I really only see me in the mirror any more, which is a wonderful mental place to be.
So I've been sending the past couple of days in Prague (and had really bad internet connection, so sorry for not commenting on people's posts recently). Rather than go and experience the sights and sounds of the city and capture the culture with my camera, I headed straight to a local park to look for strange and exotic springtails of course!
I'd found a prime spot with a sea of fallen leaves of numerous variety. I duly began hunting around the floor, holding my strange looking contraption of fully extended MP-E with flash bracket and ice-cream box diffuser in a country where I couldn't speak the language or have any idea of who might frequent this quiet suburban park. Focusing on the microscopic world rather than any imminent danger (in fact, I probably wasn't in any danger, everyone I have met here seems very nice) I was surprised to find...nothing!
No globular springtails, no mites, my first sign of life was a tiny spider that hurried away far too quickly and that was it for about 45 minutes of hunting. I began to wonder if it was just too cold (my fingers were beginning to suffer and that was through thick gloves). I was pretty much ready for giving up when on a dark leaf I spotted movement. Only very slight and by something very small (less that half a millimetre at a guess). I aimed my lens and hunted through the viewfinder and eventually found it. Aha! A springtail, and a springless one by the looks of things. I focussed and fired off a shot, then took a closer look at what I had captured. I was immediately impressed by the strong yellow colouring and mottled pattern. Quite a pretty little thing I think. No idea what the species is (of course) but I was pleased to add a new one to my collection.
This gave me hope of finding more, but after searching in various locations, and probably for another hour or so, all I came up with was a squirmy maggot type thing (I see a lot of these in England), a couple of interesting beetles and a weird, tiny moth. That was it! Anyway, now I really was getting cold, so headed indoors. The beer is very good here :)
If anyone can help me identify this little chap it would be much appreciated.

I had a fantastic day out around Hull with the lovely Sarah. A privilege to share in days like this. Sarah is a new girl emerging into the world and this is one of her first ever trips out. We had a great time, some nice interaction, Sarah got a nice compliment too when we were in Wetherspoons having lunch. She looked great and really enjoyed the experience. Initial nerves evaporated away in no time! 😊💖 xx
Just about to head out.

Blimey, it seems I went a bit camera-mad on this particular evening! And old favourite but a goody, this French Connection bandage dress was one I used to wear almost as often as my signature pink dress!
Please comment below if you have any feedback -- thank you :-)

Had a really lovely weekend with two lovely friends over to Hull for a weekend visit.
We did a long slow wander around town during the afternoon, taking in a few of the notable spots (yes, Hull has a couple!) then out on Saturday night for a few drinks.
At Hull Minster.

Surgery day! I was third in so had to wait until around midday and was done and back in my room for 2.15!
Amaxzingly, no pain. Obviously I was under general anaesthetic and I also had an epidural, but after waking up I only had paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Morning selfies before the surgery.
Personal comment in view of recent events.....
Firstly, how are they going to enforce this new ruling as many look so convincing. Secondly, where do we go to ‘powder our noses’? Thirdly, how are they going to know that a trans woman isn’t a woman from birth? This has all been created by radical cis women, outspoken trans activists and a small minority of men, claiming to be trans, using it to their own devices! It’s not over by a long shot!
I'm no threat to anyone....... I just enjoy being me and presenting as such. x

Quite a lot of photos from this November evening! Experimenting with a few camera angles so here are the ones which (in my opinion) worked.
This image was taken at the end of a long day of shooting in Victoria and on the way back to our cousin's home in Qualicum Beach. We had restaurant reservations at 7:45 (1945 hrs) but my cousin took a little detour to this quiet beach at Parksville British Columbia where I was able to take a few quick shots in the fast disappearing light. No time to set up the tripod, this and the other shots in this group are hand held. Nikon D60 Tamron 18-250 lens. Focal length 26 mm. ISO 640 1/60 @f4. Image edited in camera no Photoshop.

My good friend Sarah had the chance to come to Hull for a night and had not been before.
I took her for a little drive around - I took her to see the Humber Bridge (at night) and we had a little wander around the town centre, then went for a couple of drinks at The Star.
It's usually Leeds where I see Sarah so it was a really nice chance to show her around my home town. We did a couple of hours tour round the old town the next day too.
Hi Everyone - thanks again for looking, and commenting. If you like my images, please share them with your friends! Stay tuned for a Black Friday sale starting tomorrow! In the mean time, here's a photo with a nice reflection from a recent trip in the mountains near Crested Butte here in Colorado. ift.tt/IsZS7d
Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know and do not go unnoticed
It is not every day you get to see a spider saving a moth from falling off a leaf and today is not that day.
If you are not familiar with how these spiders hunt they release a pheremone to attract in a male moth looking to mate and instead are met with a hungry set of fangs at the end of a spider that spends half of its time looking like a bit of bird poop.
I am not certain which species of Moth it is feeding on so will leave it as Moth.
