Had a drive along shields last night . While the kids played on the sand I took a quick shot of the pipe.

These plants just do not look real but as though they have been moulded from plastic, their colours are just brilliant. At the nursery I saw red, orange pink and this greenish shade. This is SOOC with just a small border added.

 

A member of the arum (Araceae) family, this tropical American genus includes some 900 species of evergreen perennials and climbers. Quite often seen as indoor plants, they are also very popular in tropical gardens. Anthuriums are also grown as cut flowers, and are an important industry in Hawaii, where at the peak of production in the 1980s around 30 million flower stems were shipped to the worlds markets. Although some species have been used medicinally where they occur naturally, all parts of the plant are toxic and such use, even externally, is not encouraged.

 

Flowering Season: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring

 

Appearance

Anthuriums develop into a cluster of short upright stems bearing large, elliptical, lance- or arrowheadshaped leaves, which are usually held upright on stiff stalks. The distinctive flowerheads are made up of a flattened, shield-shaped, petal-like bract known as a spathe, which surrounds a protruding cylindrical spike embedded with many tiny flowers, called the spadix. Both the spathe and spadix tend to be the same color, usually bright red, though other colors occur among the hybrids.

 

Do view this large - it is worth it.

I have quite a few photos of the Shield sundew (Drosera peltata) on Flickr, but here I was experimenting with a shallow depth of field, which gives the plant an ethereal quality.

With twilight fast approaching, CPKC 119 makes a timely appearance winding westbound between the bluffs and the Spanish River at Pogamasing. This area features some of the highest rock cuts on the Nemegos Sub as the right-of-way cuts through the Canadian Shield. Millions of years of erosion carved these "hills" from what was once a towering mountain range, some of the ancient peaks higher than Mt. Everest. No drones here, just a good old fashioned climb through a lot of deadwood. This bluff is featured from the ground in this shot flic.kr/p/2qys318 - MP 20 Nemegos Subdivision.

This Shield Bug came to my attention due to it landing on my coffee mug, then it moved on to the arm of a garden chair.

Common Gum Tree Shield Bug (Poecilometis patruelis)

 

Often seen on the leaves of our Orange Tree, as this one was through the week!

Maybe it is a Birch shieldbug (Elasmostethus interstinctus)

This approx. 1855 sculpture by Gustav Bläser. is named "Athena unterstützt den Krieger" (Athena protects the warrior).

 

The zinc statue is a replica of a sculpture that can be found at the Berlin Schlossbrücke, is located at Park De Paauw, Wassenaar, South-Holland.

  

Sawgrinder got an updated shield, now he's ready to defend Makuhero City from evil!

(Credit to Sparks/Dynks for the shield and its skeleton... never thought I'd say that).
