This is native to the American tropics. Flowers come in many different colours, including red, yellow, white, pink and orange, which differ depending on location in inflorescences, age, and maturity. The flower has a tutti frutti smell with a peppery undertone. After pollination occurs the colour of the flowers changes (typically from yellow to orangish, pinkish, or reddish). The leaves have a strong odour when crushed.

Cape Flattery, Neah Bay, Washington
The road ends and the world begins. Or so it seems in this remote corner of Washington, where I stood on the northwestern-most tip of the contiguous United States. An hours long drive from almost everywhere, this is the place the native Makah tribe (who graciously allows public access to this area of their ancestral and current homeland) calls “The Beginning of the World”.
And though I have been to many beautiful places on the Washington coast, this one is special. It feels wild and rugged here, looking out at the vastness of the Pacific Ocean while wind whips the trees and waves crash against the rocky cliffs below. Here, the land ends, and the siren call of the sea beckons life to begin.

Shape Aeon - RENOVATIO Shapes for Daniel Bento Head
This is one of the native plants out front in my newly landscaped Florida friendly garden. It's not been one of my favorites they used, too big for where they planted it ... plain and boring ... UNTIL THIS WEEK! Look at these tiny little beauties. They look like itty bitty Orchids. So, I'm loving these little flowers this stressful morning!
Second time around: Moving this up this morning. Did a search for all my Orchid shots so I could include them in a new album. And saw this shot again ... one of my very favorites. This is a native Horsemint that was included in my first native remodel of God's garden. It's since gone me thinks. Working on the front again, hoping I can find this again. So I can remember ...

Another image from the visit to the Cabrillo National Monument yesterday. This is one of the native plants growing along the trails. When people think about California super bloom, flowers certainly come to mind, but it is not only flowers that are blooming. The succulent plants are also native here and while not as flashy as California poppies, they are beautiful.
I took 2 lenses yesterday, my wide angle and Helios44-2. I usually have one lens on for the hike to the end of the trail and put another one for the hike back.

The rare Showy Lady's Slipper grow in the fen in west central Ohio. The State planned a 4 lane divided highway thru the fen, which would have destroyed the remaining 450 acres of a once 7,000 acre fen. A group of nature lovers from Urbana fought the state and created the preserve. A mile long boardwalk takes one through the area that contains 40% of Ohio's rare endangered plant species. A wonderful effort and successful effort by the Cedar Bog Membership...and we've been members going on 20 years. We're the Kentucky members.

The Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae), also known as the Lady Gouldian finch, Gould's finch or the rainbow finch, is a colourful passerine bird which is native to Australia. Both sexes are brightly coloured with black, green, yellow, and red markings. The females tend to be less brightly coloured. One major difference between the sexes is that the male's chest is purple, while the female's is a lighter mauve. Gouldian finches are about 125–140 mm long. Gouldian finches' heads may be red, black, or yellow. Formerly considered three different kinds of finches, it is now known that these are colour variants that exist in the wild. Selective breeding has also developed mutations (blue, yellow and silver instead of a green back) in both body and breast colour. The number of Gouldian finches has decreased quite dramatically during the 20th century. Their habitat has been reduced or altered. 15304
The day after Thanksgiving has been designated Native American Heritage Day in the U.S. celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the country. It offsets some of the naive ideas promoted by the Thanksgiving holiday. The overlap with "black friday" is most unfortunate, and has resulted in some Native Americans to declare the timing of this day of commemoration to be in "poor taste."
It is thought that the first humans were present in North America around 23,000 years ago, possibly even earlier. The diversity of environments in which these human cultures thrived, from the Arctic to deserts is amazing- no other species on Earth has done this. The traditions they established are indeed rich and beautiful, many of which are carried on today despite governmental attempts to quash them. There are 567 tribes recognized by the Federal government.
This petroglyph panel shown here portrays one of these rich cultures that thrived in what is now southern Utah and southwestern Colorado 2000 years ago. The large anthropomorphs are in the San Juan style (Basketmaker II period). The shamanistic figures have enigmatic head ornaments (some look like antenna), belts, and necklaces.
This Australian native Bee had been pollinating my flowers for a while when, probably a bit tired, it decided to have a rest on these Begonia blooms, giving me a pretty photo opportunity :) /
Cette petite Abeille endemique a l'Australie venait de passer un bon moment a butiner les fleurs lorsque, sans doute fatiguee, elle a decide de prendre un peu de repos sur un Begonia, me donnant l'occasion de realiser une jolie photo :)
When I started out on my walk, the sky was overcast, but less than 15 minutes later, the clouds lifted and the light through the moisture etched in the world in details. Sliders help convey that moment as it appeared.
Florida native Horsemint. (Couldn't for the life of me remember what this beauty's name was, then found that I had previously painted one photo of it.)

This was part of a huge front yard remodel in 2017, and this one didn't survive Hurricane Irma. I will get another one one day I hope.
Fraser River, New Westminster, BC, Canada
The 100-passenger Paddlewheeler the M.V. Native is a replica of a paddlewheeler (or sternwheeler) that plied the Fraser River in British Columbia from 1863 until 1921.
Carrying everyone from pioneers, fur traders, gold rush miners, and family passengers from the communities along the Fraser River, these working boats were vital connections between B.C. communities and peoples along the Fraser River.
The M.V. Native was built in 1988, and is safe and fully certified annually by the Canadian Coast Guard, a division of Transport Canada.
We planted this native Columbine last Spring and this year it flowered. They grow wild in local forests.
Back in the early 70's I travelled the roads of Arizona and probably bought jewelry from a stand like this. Now 45 years later -- they no longer appear to be in business.
Located on the secondary roads of Arizona.
Goldenrod. At the UC Botanical Garden.
There are many kinds of wild goldenrod, native to different places, over 100 in North America!

The indigenous Maori population used flax leaves for textiles, nets and traps, but by the 1860s, European settlers developed a flax trade using mechanised mills. NZ made twines and ropes were internationally famous and the Royal Navy was one of the largest customers for this trade.
