A wildflower, fringed iris (Iris japonica) in Toyota, Japan.

The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots: Hielan coo) is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.

The fringes round the heart of this Field gentian (Gentianella campestris) are one of its characteristics, along with its four petals. The butterflies and bees that can get the honey out of these flowers, need to have a really long tongue!

In Austria, this gentian can be found in the provinces Steiermark (Styria), Tirol (the Tyrol) and Vorarlberg, where I spotted it near the Kanzelwand. It is a protected plant although it can occur in larger numbers in certain areas.

I think they're more of a weed, but I think they're so delicate and pretty.

Iris japonica

Have a happy Sunday!

This pretty wildflower loves to grow in damp, shady conditions. I'd never seen one before until this past summer.

Thank you for your visits and comments, they're so appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

'fringes' On Black

Winter welcomes a fringe of blue

to its icy whites.

Then she sprinkles a few flakes

to the frozen sites.

I sit beside this sculpted scene

of visual delights

and enjoy the view.

Thysanotus tuberosus

White-fringed weevils are an informal species group within a much larger genus Naupactus and their native range is southern South America.

Invasive here in Australia, now pests of agricultural crops.

Adults feed on the foliage of hundreds of plant species. Larvae feed on roots and their damage is more serious, especially on crops or young pines in plantations and nurseries.

I found a fun sexy club outfit at 1313 Mockingbird, and since the weather will be cooling down soon I thought I’d get this out of the closet before I fully embrace my fall clothing. It’s a sweet fringed top with a nice selection of colors, and they match up with the skirt colors perfectly. Excellent fit on my Maitreya body too!

The fringes and the color striations in the petals of this deep red tulip fascinate me. Found in the gardens on the Isle of Mainau in Konstanz, Germany. Press "L" for the best view.

I think I see a theme here :-)

I started out intending to shoot a still life, but when I laid this throw down to be the background for the still life, it became my focus.

Common Fringe Lily Thysanotus tuberosus OR Branching Fringe Lily Thysanotus juncifolius

One of my favorites planted a number of years ago and still going strong. I found a few that haven't been damaged by frost.
