Flowers on the potato are a sign that tubers are developing below ground. Rain will help them develop.

 

"The colour of potato flowers and tubers

 

According to research carried out during the nineteen thirties, flower colours in the potato fall into two groups, coloured and white. The coloured group may be subdivided into a) red and brownish purple and b) blue and bluish purple. In both cases the colour intensity goes from very pale to very deep. In coloured flowers the tips of the petals may also be white. In addition, some of the white flowered class possess a small amount of pigmentation. ......."

"Hand stencils can often be found in rock shelters and caves, which have given them protection from the elements over the years. They were created by placing the hand on a rocky surface and blowing pigmentation around it, leaving the silhouette of the hand on the rock. There is often a number of them in one place. The best-known example is Red Hands Cave, in the Blue Mountains National Park, which has many stencils, including those created by children as well as adults.[7]"

The skin is the largest and most prominent part of the body hence many skincare treatments are available to improve conditions like wrinkling, acne or pigmentation.

Pigmentation in addition to chlorophyll in the leaves of copper beech (Fagus sylvatica var purpurea)

 

This image shows the leaves of a mature copper beech tree.

 

The leaves of copper beech have chlorophyll for photosynthesis, but pigments of other colours, such as the red pigment anthocyanin, mask the green colour. The plant’s ability to produce a greater than normal quantity of anthocyanin is hereditary.

 

Though these other pigments may have some function in the species, probably helping to protect the chlorophyll from ultraviolet light, they tend to reduce the ability of the plant to photosynthesise. For this reason, copper beech trees normally survive best in cultivation.

The white Bengal tigers are distinctive due to the color of their fur. The white fur caused by a lack of the pigment pheomelanin, which is found in Bengal tigers with orange color fur. When compared to Bengal tigers, the white Bengal tigers tend to grow faster and heavier than the orange Bengal tiger. They also tend to be somewhat bigger at birth, and as fully grown adults. White Bengal tigers are fully grown when they are 2–3 years of age. White male tigers reach weights of 200 to 230 kilograms and can grow up to 3 meters in length. As with all tigers, the white Bengal tiger’s stripes are like fingerprints, with no two tigers having the same pattern. The stripes of the tiger are a pigmentation of the skin; if an individual were to be shaved, its distinctive coat pattern would still be visible.[2] For a white Bengal tiger to be born, both parents must carry the unusual gene for white colouring, which only happens naturally about once in 10,000 births.[2] Dark-striped white individuals are well-documented in the Bengal tiger subspecies (Panthera tigris tigris or P. t. bengalensis) as well as having been reported historically in several other subspecies.[2] Currently, several hundred white tigers are in captivity worldwide, with about one hundred being found in India. Their unique white color fur has made them popular in entertainment showcasing exotic animals, and at zoos

Time, gravity and excess sun exposure can cause deepening of facial lines and uneven pigmentation. This gives an older, tired look to an otherwise youthful complexion. Laser skin resurfacing can reduce, and often remove, much of this damage to the skin and literally "turn back the clock". A tired looking, sun damaged face can obtain an entirely new, fresh look with healthy, glowing smooth skin. This is the goal of laser resurfacing.

There are different levels of laser resurfacing available, depending on the patient's condition, the level of "down time" or recovery period a patient can tolerate, and cost.

{Edit: Jan. 27, 2015] Originally I wondered if this was a hybrid, but it isn't. It may be a partial leucistic bird, or more likely, a bird that's slightly turned and showing the white of it's belly..

 

Here's an explanation of leucism from Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "All About Birds" site:

 

"Leucism: Extra-pale plumage. Leucism is related to albinism, but in this case the normal pigmentation is diluted rather than lacking, resulting in birds whose plumage is lighter than normal, but not pure white. Plumage patterns, such as a mask or wingbars, often remain detectable." (www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/faq/master_folder/att...)

COOL FACTS:

•Males sing complex songs on wintering grounds in Hawaii that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away!

•In the Pacific, humpbacks migrate seasonally from Alaska to Hawaii--they can complete the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days!

•Humpback whales are well known for their long pectoral fins, which can be up to 15 feet (4.6 m) in length. Their scientific name, Megaptera novaeangliae, means "big-winged New Englander" as the New England population was the one best known to Europeans. These long fins give them increased maneuverability; they can be used to slow down or even go backwards.

•Several hunting methods involve using air bubbles to herd, corral, or disorient fish. One highly complex variant, called "bubble netting" is unique to humpbacks. This technique is often performed in groups with defined roles for distracting, scaring, and herding before whales lunge at prey corralled near the surface.

•Their body coloration is primarily dark grey, but individuals have a variable amount of white on their pectoral fins and belly. This variation is so distinctive that the pigmentation pattern on the undersides of their "flukes" is used to identify individual whales, similar to a human fingerprint.

•Humpback whales are the favorite of whale watchers, as they frequently perform aerial displays, such as breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface with their pectoral fins, tails, or heads.

•Humpback whales travel great distances during their seasonal migration, the farthest migration of any mammal. The longest recorded migration was 5,160 miles (8,300 km); seven animals, including a calf, completed this trek from Costa Rica to Antarctica.

•Also on wintering grounds, males sing complex songs that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away. A male may sing for hours, repeating the song several times. All males in a population sing the same song, but that song continually evolves over time. Humpback whale singing has been studied for decades, but scientists still understand very little about its function.

Reuzenberenklauw

De reuzenberenklauw of Perzische berenklauw (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is een in de Benelux als exoot voorkomende plant uit Zuidwest-Azië. In de 19e eeuw is hij als tuinplant in Europa geïntroduceerd.

Algemeen

De reuzenberenklauw sterft elk jaar in de herfst tot de grond toe af en groeit in de lente in een paar maanden tijd op tot wel vier meter hoog. Het is een twee- tot vierjarige plant. Pas na een jaar of twee geeft hij bloemen. Hij bloeit met een scherm vol witte bloemetjes van juli tot september. De plant houdt van verstoorde, voedselrijke grond.

Ecologische betekenis

Omdat de reuzenberenklauw zo kiemkrachtig is en met zijn bladeren al het licht voor andere planten wegneemt, is het een onkruid. In gebieden die niet begraasd worden drukt de invasieve soort alle andere planten weg; daar komt bij dat hij in de Benelux naast grote grazers en schapen geen natuurlijke belagers kent.

Giftig

De reuzenberenklauw is giftig. Het sap van de plant bevat furanocumarine dat de huid supergevoelig maakt voor zonlicht. Na 24 uur ontstaan rode jeukende vlekken, waarna zwelling en blaarvorming volgen. Het letsel kan er uitzien als een brandwond en het kan twee weken duren voordat het genezen is. Als litteken kan er een bruinverkleuring optreden. Wanneer het sap in de ogen komt, kan dit tot blindheid leiden. Als voorzorgsmaatregel moet dus elk contact met het plantensap vermeden worden; als dit toch gebeurd is, moet het sap zo snel mogelijk afgespoeld worden en moet blootstelling aan zonlicht van de huiddelen die in contact geweest zijn met het sap vermeden worden.

 

Der Riesen-Bärenklau (Heracleum mantegazzianum), auch Herkulesstaude, Herkuleskraut oder Stalins Rache genannt, ist eine zwei- bis mehrjährige krautige Pflanze aus der Familie der Doldenblütler. Die ursprünglich im Kaukasus beheimatete Pflanze zählt in Europa und Nordamerika zu den Neophyten.

Der Riesen-Bärenklau bildet photosensibilisierende Substanzen namens Furanocumarine, die in Kombination mit Sonnenlicht phototoxisch wirken; beim Umgang mit der Pflanze ist deshalb große Vorsicht geboten. Bereits bloße Berührungen und Tageslicht können bei Menschen zu schmerzhaften und schwer heilenden Verbrennungen bzw. Quaddeln (Photodermatitis) führen. Es wird deshalb empfohlen, bei der Bekämpfung der Pflanze vollständige Schutzkleidung zu tragen, zu der auch ein Gesichtsschutz gehört.

Erscheinungsbild

Der Riesen-Bärenklau ist eine oft bis zu 3,5 Meter hohe krautige Pflanze mit sehr großen, dekorativen Doldenblüten. Die größte bisher gemessene Pflanze, die ins Guinness-Buch der Rekorde eingetragen wurde, erreichte eine Höhe von 3,65 Meter. Die mäßig dicht behaarten Stängel der Pflanze sind an der Basis im Durchmesser zwei bis zehn Zentimeter dick. Sie besitzen oft zahlreiche große dunkle weinrote Flecken.

Die Blätter des Riesen-Bärenklaus erreichen normalerweise eine Länge von 1 m, jedoch können sie auch 3 m lang werden. Sie können entweder dreiteilig oder fünf- bis neunteilig gelappt sein. Die seitlichen Blattabschnitte können eine Länge von über 1 m und eine Breite von mehr als 20 cm erreichen. Diese sind meist wiederum tief fiedrig geteilt.

Blüten und Samen

Die einzelnen Dolden erreichen häufig einen Durchmesser von 30 bis 50 Zentimeter. Sie sind 30- bis 150-strahlig. Die Dolden einer einzigen Pflanze können bis zu 80.000 Einzelblüten enthalten und bis zu 30.000 Diasporen (Samen) ausbilden. Die äußeren Blüten sind einseitig vergrößert. Ihr Durchmesser beträgt ein bis zwei Zentimeter. Der Durchmesser der Blüten im Inneren der Dolden dagegen beträgt nur vier bis acht Millimeter. Die Blütenfarbe ist weiß; die Blütezeit erstreckt sich von Juni bis Juli.

Der Aufbau der Blüte wird mit folgender Blütenformel beschrieben:

Nach der Blüte stirbt die Pflanze ab. Kommt sie nicht zur Blüte, kann die Pflanze mehrere Jahre überdauern.

Die Samen sind oval, flach, zehn bis 14 Millimeter lang, sechs bis acht Millimeter breit und haben aufwärtsgebogene, borstig behaarte Randrippen. Aufgrund der hohen Anzahl von Diasporen, ist der Riesen-Bärenklau eine Pflanze mit ausgeprägten Pioniereigenschaften. Ihre Samen sind außerdem in der Lage, über mehrere Jahre hinweg keimfähig zu bleiben. Auf die Dauer der Keimfähigkeit kann nur aufgrund einzelner Erfahrungsberichte bei der Beseitigung von Riesen-Bärenklaustauden geschlossen werden. Bei zumindest einem Fall ging nach einer siebenjährigen Beweidung durch Schafe der Bestand an dieser Pflanze vollständig zurück,

  

Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), or Giant Cow-parsley, is a member of the family Apiaceae, native to the Caucasus Region and Central Asia.

As its name indicates, it is characterized by its size and may grow 2-5m (rarely to 7 m) tall. Except for size, it closely resembles Common Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), Heracleum sosnowskyi or Garden Angelica (Angelica archangelica).

It is further distinguished by a stout, dark reddish-purple stem and spotted leaf stalks that are hollow and produce sturdy bristles. Stems vary from 3-8 cm in diameter, occasionally up to 10 cm. The stem shows a purplish-red pigmentation with raised nodules. Each purple spot on the stem surrounds a hair, and there are large, coarse white hairs at the base of the leaf stalk. The plant has deeply incised compound leaves which grow up to 1-1.7 m in width.

Giant Hogweed is a perennial with tuberous rootstalks which form perennating buds each year. It flowers from late spring to mid summer, with numerous white flowers clustered in an umbrella-shaped head that is up to 80 cm (2.5 ft) in diameter across its flat top.

The plant produces flattened, 1cm long, oval dry seeds that have a broadly rounded base, and broad marginal ridges.

The Giant Hogweed flowers from late spring to mid summer, and then produces numerous, large flattened elliptic dry seeds (between 1,500-100,000). Shoots die down in the fall. Tall stems mark its locations during winter.

Many foreign plants were introduced to Britain in the 19th century, mainly for ornamental reasons. A few have become aggressively dominant, creating serious problems in some areas. It is now widespread throughout the British Isles especially along riverbanks. By forming dense strands they can displace native plants and reduce wildlife interests. It has also spread in the northeastern and northwestern United States. It is equally a pernicious invasive species in Germany, France and Belgium, overtaking the local species. It was introduced in France in the 19th century by botanists, much appreciated by beekeepers.

In the UK the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it an offence to plant or cause Giant Hogweed to grow in the wild.

Toxic

Giant Hogweed is a phototoxic plant. Its sap can cause photodermatitis, skin inflammations when the skin is exposed to sunlight or to UV-rays. Initially the skin colours red and starts itching. Then blisters form as in burns within 48 hours. They form black or purplish scars, which can last several years. Hospitalisation may become necessary. Presence of minute amounts of sap in the eyes, can lead to temporary or even permanent blindness. These reactions are caused by the presence of linear derivatives of furocoumarin in its leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds. These chemicals can get into the nucleus of the epithelial cells, forming a bond with the DNA, causing the cells to die. The brown colour is caused by the production of melanin by furocoumarins. In Germany, where this plant has become a real nuisance, there were about 16,000 victims in 2003.

Keep children away from this plant. Wear protective clothing when handling it if you dig plants; consider wearing eye protection. Chopping out the root is feasible, but may have to be done several times as the plant re-grows. Wash off exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water and protect the exposed skin from the sun for several days

 

Stag Cleaning a Fawn

Mori Sosen (Japanese, 1747–1821)

 

Period:

Edo period (1615–1868)

Date:

ca. 1806–21

Culture:

Japan

 

A stag lowers his head and gently licks a fawn, a casual scene the artist surely saw enacted in the wild. Sosen painted it swiftly within the small area of the fan, brushing the deer’s fur using the mokkotsu (“boneless,” meaning without ink outlines) technique and tarashikomi ("dripping in," or mottled pigmentation) for their white spots, creating a gentle overall impression.

Underarm skin is delicate, this means it can easily get irritated. What makes things worse is that irritation causes pigmentation, dark marks, and uneven skin tone. So if you’ve been struggling with patchy, dark underarms, let Heli Vyas from our Be Beautiful Beauty Squad show you how to restore underarm skin tone and get even-toned and soft underarms.

White Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) - Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park and Wildlife Research Centre - Katraj (near Pune), State of Maharashtra, India - 15 June 2014

 

The White Tiger is a rare pigmentation variant of the Bengal Tiger. White Tigers are distinct for the normal coloration in that they lack the pheomelanin pigment that in normal tigers produces the orange color. They still produce the pigment eumelanin and hence are not considered albino. Compared to normal tigers without the white gene, White Tigers tend to be somewhat bigger, both at birth and as fully grown adults.

 

Currently, several hundred White Tigers are in captivity worldwide, with about one hundred being found in India. The last White Tiger ever seen in the wild was shot in 1958.

 

If you have superficial skin pigmentation, it can be reduced with ongoing herbal treatments and appropriate diets and lifestyles. However, it may take longer to restore skin pigmentation at a deeper level. And some of them, such as vitiligo or albinism, cannot be removed completely, ”says Dr. Ziel.

 

How to remove pigmentation ?

 

According to Ayurveda, the function of your melanocytes and the color of your skin is governed by the Bhrajaka Pitta dosha. When Bhrajaka Pitta is in an unbalanced state, it leads to damage to other doshas - Vata and Kapha, which, in turn, leads to various pigmentation disorders. In addition, accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body contributes to the disruption of skin pigmentation.

 

Now let's find out about the various dosha-specific herbal remedies for hyper- and hypopigmentation. You need to know which doshas are elevated in your body before choosing the right herbs to treat skin pigmentation.

 

Hyperpigmentation

A. Kumkumadi oil (saffron oil)

 

Daily, half an hour before the bath, massage your face and body with kumkumadi oil for 5 minutes a day. Take a warm water bath with a mild herbal cleanser. This helps to balance all three doshas.

 

B. Herbal bath

 

Prepare a paste by mixing 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon milk, and ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder. Apply this paste to the affected areas with light massaging movements. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then take a herbal bath. Add rose petals, a glass of grape or orange juice to the water. It balances all three doshas.

 

K. Yashtimadhu (licorice)

 

Prepare a thin paste by adding rose water to ½ cup licorice powder. Apply to pigmented face and wash off after half an hour. Before removing the mask, you can gently rub your face for a few minutes. It balances Pitta and Vata dosha.

 

D. Chandana (sandalwood)

 

Prepare a thin paste by adding a spoonful of orange juice to a spoonful of sandalwood powder. Apply to stains and rinse off after half an hour with warm water. It balances Pitta and Kapha dosha.

Masai Giraffe (giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi)

 

- Range: the Savannas of eastern Africa. Note: in prehistoric time this single species ranged over most open areas in Africa. The giraffe range began to shrink 1,400 years ago to its present size.

- Diet: Girraffes are browsers. plucking leaves, buds and fruits from trees such as acacia, mimosa and wild apricot.

- Fun Fact: a giraffe's 18-inch tongue helps extend its reach way up into the treetops and curls in between spiny thorns on acacia trees. It is believed that the black pigmentation prevents the tongue from getting sunburned.

It can be applied to the skin cold compress for people who need cold treatment after facial plastic surgery in a small area, small area burns, laser cosmetic surgery, removing imprinting and pigmentation, sunburn dermatitis and acne.

I loved the peachy orangey color of Marc Jacobs bold blush in Provocative. Also, the new Nars eyepaint in Mozambique produced intense pigmentation in olive green (but sets very fast during application).

White Kangaroos are a rare but beautiful phenomenon and may result from either albinism — a genetic mutation causing total lack of pigmentation to the hair, eyes and skin — or leucism, a fault in the pigment cells that may cause white fur, but usually the skin and eyes are unaffected. Albino kangaroos can also be mistaken for whites which are a genetic strain of the western grey. True albinos are unable to produce any kind of pigment, hence their white coloration and pink eyes: Blood vessels normally masked by eye color show through. Albinism is a recessive trait, meaning both parents must pass the mutation on to their offspring / While on our way to Phillip Island we make a stop at Maru Animal Park, a family run attraction that includes an Animal Park featuring Koalas and other animals native to Australia, located on the Bass Highway in Grantville in southern Victoria.

The Cattle Site-Breeds says:

The Limousin is large, fine and has a strong boned frame. Mature Limousin females should average 650 kilos and mature males 1000 kilos. The head is small and short with a broad forehead, and the neck is short with a broad muzzle.

 

Coat colour is golden-red and a lighter colour under the stomach, inside the thighs, around the eyes and muzzle, and around the anus and end of the tail. The skin is free of pigmentation.

Lots of Shadow Darners out after our short cold spell. The yellow form is caused by pigmentation produced by the female that masks the normal blue all mosaics have. The theory is that the unusual colour confuses aggressive males and lets the female mature without constant harassment.
