Michizane was very fond of ume and composed the waka (a traditional Japanese poem of thirty-one syllables) to the ume tree in his garden, 'Kochi fukaba Nioi okoseyo ume no hana aruji nasitote haruna wasureso (recently haruwo wasuruna)' (Whenever the east wind blows, my dear plum blossoms remember spring, even if your master won't be here), following his demotion and exile to Dazaifu.

Goathland, one of our favourite places to visit when staying in Whitby. We were very lucky weather wise that day, we had a lovely walk and a coffee in the tearoom, sitting in the lovely gardens. A very pleasant relaxing day. Yesterday it absolutely poured down the entire day, but that didn’t stop us from walking up the 199 steps for a coffee in the Abbey tea room.

 

NYMR steam train services are entirely run by volunteers. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, as well as very passionate about their roles. We love travelling on the steam trains when in Whitby.

 

Have a wonderful Thursday, all.

This summer I have had the chance to do some nature photo shoots while also tooling around the tri-state area taking in a few day trips. In early August I was in Stockton, Illinois and stopped at the Woodbine Golf Course and Restaurant. It was a beautiful setting as I sat outside for some lunch. A variety of Flowers will be featured in this series. Photo Images Credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs (VLP & Designs).

#MacroMondays

#Wrinkled

 

My subject for "Wrinkled" is crinkled, creased, and folded: Bouillon crinkle wire used in jewellery making, (Christmas) decorating, DIY projects, and floristry. I bought it for only one use: photography. I've also already photographed it before for another MM theme, "Wire", back in October 2019 (please see the first comment).

 

Since I had photographed the bouillon wire against a black background last time, I wanted something lighter and more colourful for my photo for "Wrinkled". Once again, I used the light blue glitter foam sheet (dull side up) as background, and for extra colour, I placed a green glass bottle in front of one of my go-to LED lamps (from the right), and equipped the left LED lamp with the semi-translucent yellow bottle cap for the Rumpelstiltskin "turn silver into gold" trick. The other light source was the natural light LED photo lamp from above and photographed the wire with the Laowa Ultra macro lens to get as close as possible, both for extra magnification and a very shallow depth of field.

 

HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!

 

Lamprocapnos

Lamprocapnos spectabilis is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos, but is still widely referenced under its old name Dicentra spectabilis. It is valued in gardens and in floristry for its heart-shaped pink and white flowers, borne in spring.

I spotted this pretty Geranium in the garden today and decided to jazz it up a bit. Nothing special, just a bit of fun. :) As you know I love taking photos of flowers and have recently embarked on a course in floristry, which I'm really excited to be doing and will post photo's of my work as I go. Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Lamprocapnos spectabilis, bleeding heart or Asian bleeding-heart, is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos, but is still widely referenced under its old name Dicentra spectabilis (now listed as a synonym). It is valued in gardens and in floristry for its heart-shaped pink and white flowers, borne in spring.

 

The Asian bleeding-heart grows to 120 cm (47 in) tall by 45 cm (18 in) wide. It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial with 3-lobed compound leaves on fleshy green to pink stems. The arching horizontal racemes of up to 20 pendent flowers are borne in spring and early summer. The outer petals are bright fuchsia-pink, while the inner ones are white. The flowers strikingly resemble the conventional heart shape, with a droplet beneath – hence the common name. The plant sometimes behaves as a spring ephemeral, going dormant in summer.

The Buurserzand is a nature reserve near Haaksbergen in Overijssel. It is managed by the Vereniging Natuurmonumenten and consists largely of forest and heathland.

  

Mosses are an important link in ecosystems: they produce oxygen, protect against erosion, create a favorable microclimate for the germination of all kinds of seeds and fruits, and provide habitats for many small insects. Over the years, humans have also made extensive use of mosses for, among other things, fuel, floor coverings, mattress fillings, insulation material, and nowadays also floristry.

- Schizostylis coccinea, River Lily or Crimson Flag, is a flowering plant in the family Iridaceae, native to South Africa and Zimbabwe.

 

It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 60 cm tall, with slender lanceolate leaves up to 40 cm long and 1 cm broad. The flowers are red, occasionally pink or white, 30–35 mm long, with six petals; they are produced four to ten alternately on a spike in late summer to autumn.

 

It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens for its flowers, used in floristry. It is only hardy to between −5 to −10 °C. It is sometimes known in cultivation as "Kaffir Lily"; this name is best avoided as "kaffir" is considered an offensive ethnic slur in Africa.

 

This attractive garden subject should be grown in full sun in compost-enriched soil and ideally should be planted at the edge of a pond or in some other area where the roots are constantly in water. It can also be planted in a pot, submerged in water up to soil level.

 

My schizostylis on the photo is growing in the pond with about 5 cm water above the soil.

 

The species name coccinea means 'scarlet' and refers to the bright red flowers produced by this species.

 

Until fairly recently this species was known by its old name Schizostylis coccinea, but Hesperantha coccinea should be the correct name now.

It’s hardly fair, is it? You spend years learning how to spell Schizostylis, then one day you wake up and find you’re growing Hesperantha instead. The change of name is a nice illustration of how long it takes gardening to catch up with the scientists, who realised Schizostylis didn’t deserve a genus of its own as long ago as 1996. Nevertheless, Googling Schizostylis still produces twice as many hits as Hesperantha.

- De kafferlelie (Schizostylis) behoort tot de familie van de lisachtigen (Iridaceae). De oorspronkelijke kafferlelie (Schizostylis coccinea) is scharlakenrood van kleur. De tweede naam coccinea duidt daarop. De kafferlelie groeit voornamelijk in het zuidoosten van Zuid-Afrika. Daar komt de plant in grote aaneengesloten groepen voor op vochtige oevers langs stromende rivieren.

 

De plant heeft grasachtig blad en groeit op een warme plaats in de zon. Een kafferlelie is een vaste plant, die het vooral in de omgeving van een vijver uitstekend zal doen. Naast een vochtige grond is een voedzame, humusrijke grond van belang voor een goede groei en bloei. Wie geen vijver heeft, maar toch deze schitterende plant in bloei wil zien, kan de plant (ook op het balkon) met (gebakken) bloempot en al in modderige grond zetten. Let erop, dat een kafferlelie niet lang zonder vocht kan. Te laat water geven betekent een onherroepelijk dood.

 

In ons koele klimaat heeft de kafferlelie in de winter wel enige bescherming in de vorm van bladdekking nodig. De plant is een overblijvende, vaste plant. Langs de stengel staan zwaardvormige, diepgroene bladen. Bloemen verschijnen langs de tot 80 centimeter lange stengel in oktober/november tot aan het invallen van de winter. Naast de oorspronkelijke scharlakenrode bloemkleur van de oorspronkelijke planten, zijn er cultuurvarianten met roze en bijna witte bloemen. De plant bloeit lang door,

 

In mijn vijver groeit de plant met ongeveer 5 cm water boven de aarde.

This is a relatively new florists that have made a name for themselves in Retford, North Nottinghamshire in terms of speed and quality of service. They generally have an excellent window display, coupled with arrangements and flowers on the street just outside their shop but as it was a bit late in the day, they had closed.

Hairs still wet from playing with the garden hose.

The circle of life is clear, first something must die in order for something else to be born again. This is how this flower, which was once beautiful (and is now, but in its own way), becomes a seed for future generations.

Thank you very much for the visit and comments. Cheers.

Albizia julibrissin (Persian silk tree; pink silk tree) is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae; native to southwestern and eastern Asia.The genus is named after the Italian nobleman Filippo degli Albizzi; who introduced it to Europe in the mid-18th century; and it is sometimes incorrectly spelled Albizzia. The specific epithet julibrissin is a corruption of the Persian word gul-i abrisham (گل ابریشم) which means "silk flower" (from gul گل "flower" + abrisham ابریشم "silk").Albizia julibrissin is known by a wide variety of common names; such as Persian silk tree or pink siris. It is also called Lenkoran acacia or bastard tamarind; though it is not too closely related to either genus. The species is usually called "silk tree" or "mimosa" in the United States; which is misleading - the former name can refer to any species of Albizia which is most common in any one locale. And; although once included in Mimosa; neither is it very close to the Mimoseae. To add to the confusion; several species of Acacia; notably Acacia baileyana and Acacia dealbata; are also known as "mimosa" (especially in floristry); and many Fabaceae trees with highly divided leaves are called thus in horticulture.Its leaves slowly close during the night and during periods of rain; the leaflets bowing downward; thus its modern Persian name shabkhosb (شب‌خسب) means "night sleeper" (from shab شب‌ "night" and -khosb خسب "sleeper"). In Japan its common names are nemunoki; nemurinoki and nenenoki which all mean "sleeping tree". Nemu tree is a partial translation of nemunoki.A. julibrissin is a small deciduous tree growing to 5–12 m tall; with a broad crown of level or arching branches. The bark is dark greenish grey in colour and striped vertically as it gets older. The leaves are bipinnate; 20–45 cm long and 12–25 cm broad; divided into 6–12 pairs of pinnae; each with 20–30 pairs of leaflets; the leaflets are oblong; 1–1.5 cm long and 2–4 mm broad. The flowers are produced throughout the summer in dense inflorescences; the individual flowers with small calyx and corola (except the central ones); and a tight cluster of stamens 2–3 cm long; white or pink with a white base; looking like silky threads. They have been observed to be attractive to bees; butterflies and hummingbirds. The fruit is a flat brown pod 10–20 cm long and 2–2.5 cm broad; containing several seeds inside.There are two varieties:; A. julibrissin var. julibrissin. The typical variety; described above.; A. julibrissin var. mollis. Differs in the shoots being densely hairy.(Source: Wikipedia)

Today Charlotte was visiting Glastonbury with her daughter Amelia and her sister. Her husband is in the Royal Navy. They moved to Yeovil in February. When I asked Charlotte what she enjoyed doing apart from looking after Amelia, she told me that she will begin a course in floristry in September.

 

Amelia had been happily walking in front of her mum, on a safety rein. Amelia’s sister was looking after the push chair. As soon as Charlotte sat down on the bench for the photograph, Amelia became upset and started crying. As Charlotte gave her some attention and explained that I was taking a photo Amelia calmed down.

 

Amelia was happy to be photographed with her mum. I then took a photo of the three family members together. Amelia had calmed down and her aunt took her while I photographed Charlotte.

 

Thank you Charlotte for being part of my project. It was good to meet you, Amelia and your sister. Best wishes for your life in Somerset.

I knew this arrangement would be tricky to photograph with so much back lighting. I over-exposed the pictures, so that the background detail would be bleached out.

 

A talented colleague of mine created something similar with Italian rosehip and phalenopsis plants. I decided to add in the snowberry and chose an organic looking vase, echoing the shapes of the roots.

Back to adding a few more photos from my archives. More free space needed on my computer, so lots of checking and deleting old images. If I wrote a description under other photos taken on the same outing/drive, I will add it to these five shots.

 

"On 27 May 2015, I had a volunteer shift and afterwards, as the sun was shining, I called in at the Reader Rock Garden, where I found these beautiful Bleeding Heart flowers. There was rain in the forecast so I thought I'd better make the most of the blue sky while I could. Alberta is bone dry everywhere, with wildfires especially further north. Since then, the last couple of days, it has been raining. So, much as I really dislike the rain, we desperately need it.

 

From the Garden, I drove through the adjoining Union Cemetery and then another nearby cemetery, and then called in at a wetland in SW Calgary.

 

A lot of people have a photo of Bleeding Heart flowers in their photostream - they are beautiful flowers. This garden is situated on a hillside and it's usually windy whenever I go there, lol, so these delicate branches of little pink hearts are a bit of a challenge to keep in the viewfinder.

 

"Lamprocapnos spectabilis also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. White-flowered forms are also cultivated." From Wikipedia.
