Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. [...] Another aspect of Magnolias that is considered to represent an ancestral state is that the flower bud is enclosed in a bract rather than in sepals; the perianth parts are undifferentiated and called tepals rather than distinct sepals and petals.

The tulips in this series are from my garden.

Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday! Thanks for the visit.
Here's a tiny Harvest Mouse playing peek-a-boo in the Blackthorn blossom. You can see his little tail wrapped around the twig behind. My only view of a wild Harvest Mouse was in a wetland in Kent in the mid 1980s. It had climbed up a Bulrush (Typha) stem and was nibbling the seeds, again with his tail wrapped around the stem. This one alas was captive bred.
the spring is here. "my" tree that I shot 2 years ago, uploaded in this site, is still there. Strong, alone and beautiful. Is the life stronger in Nature than in Human?
Volunteers at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, California annually plant around 30,000 tulip bulbs in January, along with hollyhocks and daffodils. This photo was taken two months later in March.
These photos are capturing some magical moments , with the 2 blooming Cherry Trees, growing in our back Garden! This variety is botanically called Prunus "Kanzan", and it is also known as "Sekiyama", or "Hisakura". They are 2 adorable trees , which I always prune after blooming , because I do not wish them to become enormous. Their blooming period is very short --- 10 days or something..---but their Beauty, is an absolute delight for our garden and ourselves!

Steenbok ram enjoying the new growth. The Steenbok is a small “dwarf” antelope, with an average weight of around 12kgs and a shoulder height of a mere 45 – 60cms. They are a beautiful golden brown color, and have very distinctive, overly-large ears which look completely out of proportion to their petite heads. Only the males have horns, which are smooth, straight and very sharp.
Today was a very rainy grey and ugly day. So what could be better than dreaming of delicate flowers blooming in the springtime sun?
Happy Caturday 14 March 2026 Something Green. The hostas were at Sebright Gardens, gotta get back there this springtime. Specializing in shade plants. That pic was 18 May, a good time also to go to nearby Schreiner's for iris and Adelman's for peonies.
In full bloom now in northeast Ohio. This one is located on a farm, State Route 43, Suffield, Ohio - Portage County.
For the Tree-mendous Tuesday Group.
Red BuckeyeAesculus pavia
With its spectacular springtime show of deep red flowers, it’s no wonder that Guy Sternberg (author of Native Trees for North American Landscapes) ranks the red buckeye as “among the most beautiful of any temperate-zone tree.”
This stunning ornamental can add a touch of interest to any home or park landscape.
But why "buckeye"? This tree actually gets its name from the whitish scar found on the each brown seed. It is said to give the seed the appearance of a deer's eye.
The tree is also known as Aesculus x carnea, the red Horse Chestnut.
Springtime in the gardens of Anglesey Abbey in Lode, Cambridgeshire. A lot of the spring flowers had gone over but the tree blossom was wonderful.
Springtime comes in mid May in Alaska, in three days, the landscape will go from a barren brown to a lush green in what the locals call "green up". The Alaska range is clouded in rain as the Tanana River basks in the warmth of the sun.
Anemonas Blanda are also called Greek Anemones, but I had never had the luck to meet them there...And they are SOOO adorably BLUE!!! And they are SOOO majestically formed in their...tinyess!!! Every time I see them in my computer, I feel blessings in my heart!! Bless them!!
In the garden they are about 10 plants of them , and although I am in the process of tidying up the borders, they look so brilliant, even among the dry and dead leaves and branches..Such cute babies!!
Sending you ...Springtime feelings and sensations, with love!!
It was a pretty day today, but you could tell we were going to get some kind of weather with the thunderheads built up over the mountains - and we just had a big thunderstorm with a little bit of hail.

Forsythia are one of my favorite springtime flowers. These were captured at my sister's home back in 2011, when she still lived in northern Wisconsin.
After our two beautiful days to herald the arrival of Spring, today is back to Winter - cold and at the moment it is pouring. This is a full frame photo and was taken with my 75-300 mm lens and all three Kenko extension tubes. These African daisies are in a neighbour's garden and mine have never curled like these. I may have to ask for a cutting lol.

... in Springtime. Lots of lovely blossom.
I took the photo with my Fujifilm camera with the kit lens, and did very little editing of my RAW image in Capture One Fujifilm Express (which is free to use). I set my camera to take JPG images at the same time, so I can delete unsuitable images straightaway on my PC, before loading the RAW ones in C1. The RAW ones are huge - about 55MB each!
I've still got my Canon 5D Mk2 with several lenses which took beautiful photos also. However, I spent much more time perfecting them in Lightroom (adjusting colour, etc.), so I save a lot of time using Fujifilm plus C1. I'm thinking about getting a Fringer adapter for the X-T3 to use my Canon lenses on it.

Last weekend me and two of my friend headed to Leivonmäki nationalpark to photograph milkyway. These are the last times to see milkyway, becouse nights are getting too bright. This was also my first time to shoot milkyway with that amazing Sigma 20mm f/1.4 ART lens and oh yes it is good on stars! I also tried exposure stacking with StarryLandscapeStacker and it is suberb to stack starry landscapes! One benefit to have a Macbook Pro. Oh and ofcourse, it was nice to see how that Nikon D750 handles high ISO's, it performed amazingly good.
